It is official Okur most clutch player in the NBA today

I bash all homers. (See Super Bowl thead)

Most people on these boards are "homers". The discussion about who is the best clutch player is over.

You forgot to add "This thread is locked" at the end of your post.

he is apparenty too stupid to back up his ludicrous arguments with any sort of evidence/points

In my book backing up ludicrus arguements without good evidence/logical points is as bad as not backing it up at all.

let me ask you this about okur, can he create his own shot like gilbert can?

Yes.

Okur is a matchup nightmare. He can drive past big men and take the midrange jumper, and if they put a smaller player on him, he shoots right over them.

And while I have the chance to talk about the Jazz, Deron Williams should be in the all-star game over Tony Parker.

^^^^looking at the big shots that Okur hit, they were all hand offs or passes from guards. Okur merely stood on the perimeter or set a screen. I only remember against Phx when he put the ball on the floor, with almost catastrophic results.

Speaking of clutch....Dwight Howard tonight blocks Parkers game winning attempt, and then makes an insane alleyoop with 0.8 left.

I think that Okur received passes for open looks is irrelevant to his clutch factor....he had to 1) get open, 2) hit the shot under pressure....

Robert Horry gets called clutch & the majority of the time he is just getting the ball passed out to him for an open shot, no different situation with Okur....

Yeah, I think this is the most important things that makes a player clutch or not. Guys like Horry, Steve kerr, or other shooters are not that clutch, 'cause they get wide open shots.

The real clutch guys are the one like Arenas, Kobe, (maybe Okur, I didn't watch him play a lot...) and of course MJ in his time, because when they take the ball at the end of the game, evrybody on the other team knows that he is going to take the shot, they double team him and play big D just on him, and this guy is still able to take the shot, and make it, even with the big pressure, which is simply amazing.

Another example is Duncan, last season. He had one of his worst season of all his career, but when the playoffs come, everybody knows that he is going to destroy them, so once again they double team him, but he is still able to put numbers like 35 pts 14 rbnds, at more than 50% shooting (don't remember the exact numbers). Even if the Spurs lost, this prooves guys like Duncan are very good clutch players!

I know, but the question was

obviously he cant

[cklitsie]

Why does everyone bash joejam for being a homer when he isn't any more of a homer than Indy or Riot? He just isn't as well spoken as them or have the ability to back up his ludicrus arguments with equally ludicrus support.

My point exactly.

Wow, you pretty much just called yourself a retard when it comes to discussing the nba.

There's one more thing I want to say about this topic.
I think it's not what you say (joejam) that makes people go at you like this, it's how you say it.
Okur is without a doubt one of the most clutch players in the nba, but like it has been said in this thread, how would you measure who's the most clutch? But instead of making the topic like you made it, it would've been better if you've made a more general topic like "who do you think is the most clutch player in the NBA today?".
Instead of what you basically did "Okur is the most clutch player and anyone not agreeing hasn't seen any Jazz games and is a hater"

Memo just created his own shot and tied up the game against the Knicks with 12.7 seconds to go.

Seems like he does this every single game.

[joejam999]

He hit 2 three's just before that also. David Lee didnt step out.... o wait the 2nd three he did but only ran at him with a hand up.
