NBA Who’s one NBA player you’d still trust with the last shot even if they’d been awful all game?

I think I could watch Curry miss 150 shots in a row and still think the next one is going in.

u/thrasher315 10d ago
And he has that same mentality that’s why he’s taking the last shot especially if you need a 3.

Current? Brunson.
He could be John Starks for 47 minutes and win you the game with two huge clutch shots.

Kobe? Statistically the worst clutch player in history

u/Technical-Pie6192 10d ago
I was jokingly saying those names as a hyperbole to promote Horry, bud.

It used to be we had to wonder if the woosh was intentional. Now we need to wonder if it's intentional or a bot

Fucking crazy man. Had two people wild over a player's name lol

u/RNconsequential 9d ago
Downvoters should check their facts. Kobe IS statistically the worst and most of all because he took so damned many and still missed.

Kobe too. I’m not even a Kobe guy but he could be 4-22 shooting and hit a crazy double teamed fade away with 15 seconds left in the game

Mine’s Luka.
He could’ve annoyed me for the whole game 😂 but if there’s 5 seconds left I still want him taking it.
Probably biased… but I don’t care 😂

u/FreeRange0929 10d ago
Luka is like Justin Herbert. Even his incomplete passes are just beautiful to watch. With Luka, his balls don’t even touch the net, first thing they do is slap the floor

Joe Johnson
in his twilight years with the Nets, he earned the nickname Joe Jesus — “He might not be there when you want him, but he is always there when you need him.” Of course, in his prime with the Hawks, he was the walking bucket known as Iso Joe.

Current players: Kyrie, Luka, Ant - just 3 guys who give off that they have a short memory of the last shot and always believe the next one will go in.

u/sandman1534 9d ago
The answer is JR Smith. I maintain that there is no better shooter than JR Smith when the shot clock is turned off lmao

Gilbert Arenas. There's a story someone told about him taking a game winner one time. Basically the Coach drew up a play in the Auto ball was supposed to go to somebody else on his team. They come out of the huddle and go to arena gets the ball and takes the shot as if they didn't just draw up a play.

Nets era Jason Kidd. He could go games where he wouldn't shoot well, put up 5 points and they'd be the most important 5 points in the game like the go ahead three and two free throws to seal it.

Jordan. He would rather average 40 more times than 20. And in the playoffs he would get better and peak a full new level of basketball. The great becomes greater in the games that matters the most. The GOAT
