MJ

If I need a three, I'm going with Reggie. If I need any other clutch play (including shots, forced turnovers, rebounds, anything) I'm taking Michael Jordan. Let's not forget how amazing he truly was by limiting him to just points, OK? He was much more than just a scorer, especially in the clutch...

I'd take Kobe because he shoots the 3 better than Jordan and can get the 2 better than Reggie.

That is like saying you give the ball to Lebron or Wade if you need a game winning three over Reggie Miller ignoring that both cannot hit 3s at all.


With seconds left, Jordan drove to the basket for a layup and got fouled. He made both freethrows to give Chicago a one-point lead. Joe Dumars hit a jumpshot at the other end and the Bulls called their last timeout.

With four seconds left in overtime, Jordan got the ball, dribbled hard to his right, left Dumars and Polynice behind in the dust and hit a long three for the win. Bulls 98 - Pistons 96.

Michael Jordan. He'd either tie it and win in OT, or just win it in regulation. Nobody is more clutch than Jordan.

That one Kobe fan is delirious.

I'm shocked there is no option of "The Clutch" in the poll:

I think the OP wanted to just include those three guards of the last 20 years, because otherwise there are other players who could be mentioned in this poll: West, Bird
