Clutchest player ever?

[MrFonzworth]

You down by 4. 30 seconds to go. Location: United Center. You can choose any player from any era to lead your team. Who you got?

Jerry West? Larry Legend? John Stockton?

Give me John Stockton. If the shot ain't there, he'll make the right play.

Jordan

[Uncle Drew]

I'll go with Kyrie Irving.

Jordan

Certainly at an advantage, given it's in Chicago. Still going with Stockton.

Curry and Durant

Obviously Jordan was crazy clutch. But a part of that can be attributed to him just being so good in general. He could just play his normal game and win it in the end.

But of course the threat of losing added another gear for him. Same with Bird. Or Dirk. They were unstoppable regardless.

I'm thinking of clutch guys who are good players, but truly turn it up and play above themselves when it gets tense. Like an Andre Iguodala. I don't know who in the past last was like that.

Bird

i'll have Nash lead my team for similar reasons to Stockton. Also, I would like to make sure Horry is on that team too for obvious reasons if that's allowed.

[Lord P]

I want Ray Allen taking the last shot at all times

[Cold soul]

Jordan or Bird.

[KungFuJoe]

Jordan and then Bird.

Why the United Center? lol

Anyway, I'll go with Larry Bird at his ABSOLUTE best. Here is an interesting segment with James Worthy explaining the difference between guarding Larry and Mike (Doc's opinion was just before this but also similar). I'm a Jordan fan but even I have to agree to an extent. Just watch an 80s Boston game or even when dude had a f*cked up back before retiring in the 90s. Larry was always a step ahead. Every. Damn. Time.
