I'd go with Kenny's picks except Tony Parker over Deron Williams for end to end ball handler.
I'd also go with LeBron over Baron (with Kobe still #1) if you pick two guys to take the last shot instead of one.

I'd take LeBron if my team is down 20 points with like 8 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
But if with around 10 seconds less, and my team is either down 1 or down 2, or even down 3, and we have possession, Kobe no questions here. Kobe lives for these moments. Surprsingly he's more unclutch that he is clutch if the score is tied.

I would take Wade for a comeback at home, those circus shots he does kills the other teams physique.

Arena: The Palace
Detroit has come back from more 3-2 series disadvantages than any team in recent memory. Part of this is the tremendous momentum that can be built late in playoff games.
Coach: Gregg Poppovich
To draw up a play at the end of the game you need a good X-and-Os guy. But you also need someone who knows the players enough to give it to the right guy. Some coaches like Sloan are slavishly devoted to their gameplan and rotations. Nobody embodies the good things more than Popp.
End-to-End Ballhandler: Chauncey Billups
I'd want someone who's fast, like Barbosa or T.J. Ford. But I also want someone who can keep down the number of turnovers. I'd also like a guy with some size or length, so he could get the inbound easier with the press on. Billups doesn't get out on the break very much, but he won't turn it over and I know he has the size to get the inbound.
The Stopper: Bruce Bowen
It's freakin' Bruce Bowen.
Last Show Down 1: Dwyane Wade
If I was down 2 going for the win or down 3 needing to tie, I'd go Kobe. but in this situation gimme Wade, who is more likely to draw some contact and get the win at the foul line, or he'll take a smart midrange jumper. He has the explosiveness to get a little cushion on a last shot, and title experience.

yea but LeBron could drive to the basket more easily because of his size and athleticism. Wade is no slouch here also, but I'd go with LBJ. If he gets a string of layups that fires up his jumper too, which ordinarily isnt that good.

almost everything I'd say has been said already (coach pop, stopper KG for big men and ronron for swing men, ball handler billups) but I'd take Ray Allen as the man I'd want to take the last shot being down by 2 or even better with 3. IMO he's sick at hitting the last 3...

NBA GM's unanimously picked Kobe for the last shot. I don't know how anyone who watched the NBA for the last 10 years at least can pick anyone but Kobe for the last shot.

If I'm down and have other competent players on the team no doubt I'd go with LeBron.
