2. Paul Pierce, Boston—in Boston, if you need a shot, you look no further than this man. Statistics don’t tell the whole story on Pierce because his career performances in the regular season are better than his performances in the playoffs. When they won the title, though, Pierce put up nice numbers. 19.7 ppg, 4.6 apg, 5 rpg. Despite what he averages, he is still usually given the chance to win the game if it is close. On their way to a title in 2008, Pierce repeatedly threw in clutch shots against Atlanta, and the L.A. Lakers, among others. As a Laker fan, I laughed at Pierce’s infamous NBA Finals wheelchair incident, only to cry minutes later when he busted threes on the Lakers with time running out.

 

1. Kobe Bryant, Lakers—almost every player in the NBA today will tell you: Kobe is unstoppable. He is the most feared shooter, especially at the end of the game. His ’06 playoff shot against the Suns (Shaq-less). His ’01 Finals shots at the end of a game against the Pacers (with Shaquille fouled out). In the ’09 playoffs, Bryant pushed his scoring average up 5 points to 30.2 ppg and increased his free throw percentage by 4% to 88.3%. In these same playoffs, he made clutch shots against the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets. What makes Bryant a clear #1 to me happened in the first televised USA Olympic practice game in ’08. Here, in the Olympics, only the cream of the crop play, period. When the game was close and nearly over, the ball went to Kobe where he schooled LeBron James with a clutch shot to win the game.
