Whos a better "Clutch" Player? TMac or Kobe?

[cyanide]

The Yeti's winning by a close margin. Oh god, this is more exciting than the Kobe-McGrady debate!

[air_edwards23]

Kobe.....forget the regular season, that doesn't count. The playoffs do...and Kobe delivers....ex: game winner long 3 ball with Hamilton all in his mug @Finals, Game 2. T-Mac....he chokes in the playoffs.

You mean shaq delived when the lakers were in the playoffs not kobe

[Matt]

when was the last time Shaq delivered in crunch time?

[Cable]

Atta boy Jae.

GO YETI!!!11!!1!

How long have you been watching basketball?

[air gordon]

You know, it's tough. If their a last shot, I'd give Kobe the edge, but to tell the truth when you look at Kobe's whole crunch time [<5 mins in a close game], he takes a lot of shots, but doesn't really make as much as he does through the course of the game. I'd say Kobe is at times a little overatted as a clutch player because he many times forces it too much in crunch time and losses games.

I'd still take Kobe though.

what's up with the Poll being edited?

[fgrep15]

Yea, I don't know what happened to the poll, I didn't think Tmac would be winning though, but can't hate on that.

Shaq delivered down the 4th quarter of every single game in the playoffs. I remember everyone fouling out trying to stop his dominance, but nobody being able to do a thing.

You might not like him since he left, but it's really ignorant of you to act like he wasn't important in the 3 championships.

There's a lot of Will Purdue haters in here

So you were taking this thread seriously I'll add some extra options to keep you two happy.

[air gordon]

some people were actually not using this as a platform to rip on shaun

but whatever- one less Bryant thread is fine with me

i guess i should be thanking you then

[Its_asdf]

fgrep15 I think is the better overall shooter with better shot selection, but Air Gordon has been known to step up big time during the final minutes of the game.

[Scotty]

yeah, this poll is much better

[cyanide]

air gordon's a little more consistent, but fgrep is known to have huge games every now and then. All in all, I voted for the Yeti.

Firstly, when did I say I didnt like Shaq?

Secondly, when did I say he did not contribute to the 3 championships (to warrant you calling me ignorant)?

Now why exactly were they fouling Shaq? Maybe because he was horrible at the free throw line and if he cant make them then it makes catching up a whole lot easier. Why do you think Shaq was left out of various game ending situations?

[Moop_Moop]

Kobe Bryant, without a doubt in the world.

Okay, who voted for fgrep15? The Yeti is obviously the clutchiest player ever, has he ever missed a shot?

he never took one either...

Remember the commercial for NBA 06 (ducks)... "You Miss every shot you don't take.)

Technically you're not missing because you never took a shot in the first place.

[Cable]

Ex-actly

Me.

[Andrew]

In the original poll, Kobe without a doubt. He's proven himself when the stakes are higher and as incredible as McGrady's 13 in 35 was, one amazing performance can't outweigh several.

In the new poll...Will Perdue.

Yeah you are.

If you don't take the shot, you don't get points for it.

If you do take the shot, but miss, you don't get points for it.

Anyway, it was just a tag line on a commercial. Chill out.

[fgrep15]

I own the Yeti in every way possible.

[Sauru]

there really isnt even a question here, i mean, kobe is by far better in the clutch than t-mac. i believe he has proven it plenty of times now, where t-mac really has not done anything with his career. i mean as everyone knows i hate kobe, but people shopuld stop lumping him in the same catagory as t-mac. kobe has done alot more and has had a far better career.
