50 Cent famous hip hop banger “Your Life’s on the Line” is a great song to workout too and gets your head popping. But what If your life really was on the line and you had to choose one player in the history of basketball to shoot a shot for you, If they score you live, If they miss you die.
Who would you choose? And why? And what if you had to choose 10 guys to shoot for you?
Well that’s what I’ll be doing today, as I rank the top 10 clutch players in NBA history.
The guys you’d trust most to shoot the basketball through the hoop with your life depending on it.
NBA.com defines clutch time in a basketball game as ‘the last 5 minutes of the game with the teams within 5 points of each other’.
Executing in clutch time requires a high basketball IQ, an even better skillset and most importantly, composure.
I looked at a combination of championships won, game-winning shots made (regular season & playoffs), big-time late-game plays and big-time playoff performances.
I’ll start with number 10 and work my way up to number 10. First a few honourable mentions who just missed the cut.
