I'm a big time JT guy for overall game, defensive and offensive versatility... but Pierce in the clutch has the edge:

Most Game Winners In NBA History
Player Number of Buzzer Beaters
Michael Jordan 9
Kobe Bryant 8
Joe Johnson 8
LeBron James 8
Paul Pierce 7
Andre Iguodala 5
Gilbert Arenas 5
Dwyane Wade 5
Vince Carter 5
Kevin Garnett 5

I'm with that too = Payton Pritchard, of course. Distance doesn't matter.
Agree, you should put up a POLL.

Brunson for that matter. I don't think it's Tatum's fault. I have no idea what the Celtics run during a last shot situation and I don't think the Celtics coaching staff does either.

First choice would be neither.

Second choice, not Tatum.

Well if you want to go back that far the answer is Sam Jones.

I saw a stat a few years ago that PP was involved in the most points(assists + pts) in the last minute of a game in NBA history.
Definitely not gonna count on Tatum's stepback 3.
