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.

someone post the stats and then I'll choose the guy with the better odds.
total career game winners is cool but not a %

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.

Sorry JT, but I'm going with The Truth

First choice would be neither.

Second choice, not Tatum.

JoJo was 4th on my list (but I didn't go that low).

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.
