Who is/was most clutch?

[jedi]

Like this will solve anything.

[istewart]

Brandi Chastain.

[Jack of Arcades]

I'd say Willis Reed was pretty clutch, but it was a small sample size, and it was based on intangibles.

[tbach24]

Vinatieri. Wow, I'm wearing my Super Bowl XXXVI shirt right now.

[jaxUp]

I only know basketball, but anybody who votes for a basketball player other than MJ is retarted.

[Vince Young]

[Chairman Wood]

Where is Reggie Jackson?

[The Yugoslavian]

Willis Reed wasn't really clutch at all. He was something else. He does not belong on this list. There are other lists he'd pwn though...

In fact, most of those players clearly aren't 'clutch' - the feats I'd guess that got them on this list were for other things other than being clutch.

[Jack of Arcades]

Yeah, I was being facetious.

Ha ha ha, yeah, UT sure does come through in the clutch in college football each year.

I was going to go with Gibson or Puckett in the poll, but it's hard to overlook Chastain.

[RogerZBT]

I voted for Jordan

Even with last season, Mariano is on the list before Arod and Schilling.

Reggie Miller deserves to be on the ballot also.

[BWebb]

I think this list really only needs 3 names: Jordan, Montana and Elway. Of those 3, I went with Montana. A lot of those names had one instance of being clutch, while these three did it time and again.

[prizminferno]

TOM BRADY

[siccjay]

Jordan
Bird
Montana
Vinatieri
Horry

[The Stranger]

Jerry West

[WEASEL45]

No Tiger Woods /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Ianco15]

Joe Montana.
4 Superbowls.
Greatest QB of all time.


Ship__It.

[Ianco15]

Why is AROD even on the list?


Ship__It.

[MarkL444]

i dont really see how a hockey player can be clutch.

Jerry West

his nickname was Mr. Clutch, and he's the friggin NBA logo. This is clearly the correct answer.

[ThaSaltCracka]

no one.

[eric5148]

Jack Nicklaus

[hoyaboy1]

Shockingly, the best players also perform the best in the clutch. Who would have guessed?

Where is Reggie Jackson?

[/ QUOTE ]

They don't call him Mr. October for nothing. In fact I could make a very strong argument that if you eliminated his post season performances there is no way he makes it into the HOF.

Btw, I threw Moneymaker a vote. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously I left off a few names, simply cuz I couldn't think of all of them, and I added on a few that don't really deserve to be there. (Hey, I have just as many world series rings as A-Rod and I'm getting paid 252 million less.)

Keep debating!

[zaxx19]

Wow, someone thinks a UT player is clutch....

Thats classic. I guess an OU player should get biggest choke artist then, right?

Its gonna be even more funny when Ohio St beats UT like a runaway slave come this fall.

[BadBoyBenny]

I can't believe I voted for Montana, I hate the 49ers.

[jakethebake]

How is Elway getting all these votes? How many Superbowls do you have to choke in to be disqualified?

[sfer]

I don't really care who wins but the fact that Kirby Puckett was included is awesome. Kirby rules.

See my reply above. NY Rangers, Eastern Conf. Finals, Game 6, must win game in NJ.

He guaranteed a victory and delivered on his promise while scoring a hat trick against arguably the best goalie in the league.

The Rangers took the series in the 7th game thanks to another clutch goal (Matteau), defeated the Canucks in the finals, and brought the Cup back to NY for the first time in 54 years.

Apparently it has. Out of 30 choices. Michael Jordan recieved 24% of the votes. Thats what I would call a landslide.

[Gamblor]

clutch != scoring a goal in the last minute or making the final shot/pass in a particular game.

anyone who didn't vote for patrick roy does not know hockey.

random patrick roy story:

1996 stanley cup finals, colorado avalanche vs. florida panthers. patrick roy is in his 10th year in the league and first as a member of the colorado avalanche - he's already won 2 cups in montreal and is widely assumed to be the most dominant goalie in the league. It's the day before game 4 in florida, and the avalanche are ahead in the series 3-0, against a team that is generally accepted to have absolutely no right to be playing for the cup. the whole world knows all that stands between the avalanche and the stanley cup is 60 minutes.

the avalanche hold an optional light skate. maybe half the players show up. 45 mins into it, the reporters have left, the coaches are in the dressing room, the ice is empty except for two guys; one is firing shot after shot after shot at the other, a goalie.

patrick roy and joe sakic.

folks, that's how you win championships. that's clutch.

[zaxx19]

In that case Rocket Richard must be included on the list as a hockey representative.

HUGE GOALS. Yes, I did live in Montreal for 3 yrs so....

[bholdr]

Jack Nickalus (won the masters at age 46)
Mariano Rivera (who's legend may have been tarnished a bit last year)
Sandy Koufax
CARLTON FUCING FISK
Secretariat
Muhammad Ali
Bob Gibson (if i had to pick one starter for one game, with my ass on the line, it's gibson, no doubt)
Jesse Owens (may 25 1935- 4 world records set in a 45 minute strech, aug 3 1936- showed hitler and the rest of the world that there is no master race in what is, IMO, the greatest moment in all sports)

and my pick...

Franz Klammer (if you don't know, that's OK. he was a skier- and raced the greatest downhill of all time on the greatest course in the world, against the stiffest competition in ski history, a split second from a catostrophic crash at 60MPH the entire way; it was late in the day after the course got really dangerous... he won by over a second. in ski racing, that's an eternity. Klammer and his run on the Hammekahn are the very definitions of clutch.)
