I would actually be most comfortable with Damian Lillard.

Ya cuz I mean Durant makes a "big" shot over a dead tired Lebron who defended him and carried his team on both ends all series fighting an impossible battle. While Durant gets to conserve his energy all game with Iggy and Green doing the defensive heavy lifting. And the Cavs could never help on him with the best shooters in the world and 3rd best player in the world all around him. Like I mean even Klay can put in 60 in 3 quarters as a THIRD OPTION lol. Where was Durant when he "only" had an all world player in RW with him and a 3-1 lead against the team he joined the year before. Please the guy is amazingly good, but he's proven himself a joke mentally and basically joined a team that would of won without him anyways just to win. But no that's not weak or anything haha... Please.
I mean there's no pressure there at all...so what if he misses, the greatest team ever assembled would still win the series, that's not pressure and not clutch in anyway. It's just ridiculous to think it is. The spacing he got in the finals was insane.

I voted Kyrie because Kawhi wasn't on the list.

Well I mean look who's first on this poll...oh it's Durant's new teammate lol. The one he should of beat the year before if he were actually clutch. But instead if you can't beat them join them and look like a hero.

Lillard is the most clutch in the list.
Everyone has a right to be stupid. Some just abuse the privilege.

Re: Down 2, who takes the last shot?
I'm surprised Curry is so highly regarded in this aspect. Dude is renowned for not having to play in 4th quarters and when he does, his shots are usually part of an avalanche and his team is up. Does he have a memorable clutch shot besides the OKC Saturday Night Primetime? And that was more like a hail mary than a take the defender shot.
Anyways, I take Kyrie or Dame.

If considering they're on a situation with other threats and their MVP teammate just set them up for a good look, than Durant or Irving...even though Irving is a good creator, IIRC, he didn't have a great success rate without LeBron.
In clutch situations Irving was still great even before LeBron.
I take Irving here without even thinking about it.
He has as impressive a collection of game winning shots, game tying shots and daggers that I've seen for someone his age.

One shot? Kyrie was considered very clutch before that shot. That just put him on the map for casual fans.

I'd pull Reggie from the commentator booth and go with him.

Re: Down 2, who takes the last shot?
Curry - best shooter in the league by far, and of all-time also. Why would I not want the best 3-point shooter of all-time taking a three point shot to win the game?
