Down 3, 5 seconds left in game 7 of the Finals, who do you give the ball to?

[PistonsFan#21]

You can pick any player in NBA history.

:basketball :basketball

Lebron, Curry, or Ray Allen

Lebron

[Ariza4three]

Allen, Bird or Curry

Everything varies on what kind of play were running.
Three pointer? Ray Allen
Drive to the basket? LeBron
Free throw? Three way tie Nash-Kidd-Allen
Mid range shot? Pierce-Dirk

[Smook B]

Larry Bird.

[SouBeachTalents]

Horry

How do you run a free throw play? :biggums:

and in this question, you are the coach so you pick the player and which ever play you wanna run with 5 seconds left and down 3 pts

[plowking]

Give it to someone to set up Steve Kerr or Kyle Korver in the corner.

[Sakkreth]

How do you run a free throw play? :biggums:



U need Harden on ur team, the only way.

[ImKobe]

U need Harden on ur team, the only way.

Jamal Crawford or Lou Will would win the game on a 4 pt play tbh

fukk Harden

[KobesFinger]

Surprised nobody has said Jordan yet. Curry, Mike, Magic or Bird

[dhsilv]

Who do you want to shoot it? Who do you want to inbound it to? Those could be grossly two different people.

Kobe, Dirk, Bird, and Curry (maybe west if there were a 3 back then) are the guys who I feel like you can give to to in either scenario.

Though given the question, it might be who do you have inbounding the ball. The correct answer to that is Robert Horry btw, i'm not sure there's a second choice.

[dhsilv]

Surprised nobody has said Jordan yet. Curry, Mike, Magic or Bird

Jordan doesn't do down at the end of a game 7 by 3. He'd never allow it?

[Sakkreth]

If I was coach of defending team i'd say to foul.

[livingby3's]

Healthy Brandon Roy.

[Proctor]

Darkhorse candidate would have to be Gilbert Arenas.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Harden has the highest 3pt % in NBA history of those with more than 20 attempts when down 3 and under 24 seconds.

[Draz]

and in this question, you are the coach so you pick the player and which ever play you wanna run with 5 seconds left and down 3 pts
I mean like, if I had to have any player at the line during any given moment.. obviously that's what I meant

[Pushxx]

Larry Bird.

[kennethgriffin]

kobe


hes the best 1 on 5 player that can create a 3 point opportunity with any kind of defense on him


and hes better at making difficult shots than anyone. and chances are with only 5 seconds itel have to be some kind of wild look over 2 guys


only choice is kobe really. since hes been in that situation too more than anyone..

don't really care about the percentages later in his career.


they compare kobes crazy shots to other people who only shoot wide open or pass cause they protect their fg%


in this case my choice MUST take the shot



so i'm going with kobe..

[Angel Face]

Mike, Larry, Reggie

3 kings of clutch

[kennethgriffin]

Mike, Larry, Reggie

3 kings of clutch



you seriously taking jordan for a desperation contested three point shot?


:facepalm


has he even ever taken one before? cause i can't remember seeing any

[Mr. Jabbar]

trolls selecting lebron :oldlol: :oldlol:

dude doesnt even have a jumpshot :lol

[red1]

5 seconds is not a lot of time so ideally it would be someone who can create a great shot off the dribble. KD would be a great choice for this type of scenario

[red1]

trolls selecting lebron :oldlol: :oldlol:

dude doesnt even have a jumpshot :lol
game 7 nba finals though. that is when the jumpshot and clutch factor is at it`s highest

Lebron 2013 Finals game 7

0:28 = Uncontested three pointer
0:58 = Uncontested three pointer
1:15 = Uncontested three pointer
1:50 = Uncontested three pointer
2:07 = Contested three pointer
2:23 = Uncontested jumper
2:58 = Uncontested jumper
3:05 = Uncontested jumper
3:29 = Uncontested jumper



spurs dared him to shoot. let him do whatever he wanted

why? because he bricked them all series. then suddenly caught fire


thanks ray allen

so you're obviously happy with 2 for 6

[WayOfWade]

Totally agree, dude has no fear. I would just say Ray Allen, he's come closer to that situation than anyone else ever. Pretty much anyone that has shot greater than 40% in any season is a worthy candidate

[MJistheGOAT]

One on one ... MJ or Bird

Set play with screens ... Ray Allen or Curry

Darkhorses: Reggie Miller and KD

[pauk]

The guy who has hit the most 3pt gamewinners/3pt clutch shots in NBA history and is imo the greatest clutch shooter ive ever seen (even in playoffs, actually especially the playoffs).... Reggie Miller...

[SaltyMeatballs]

Curryyyyy

[LAZERUSS]

Give it to someone to set up Steve Kerr or Kyle Korver in the corner.

Or Paxson.

[k0kakw0rld]

My money on Robert Horry

[La Frescobaldi]

gosh look at all the great names in here

plenty to choose from that is for sure. lotta great names

[FKAri]

Joel Anthony

Give it to him at the top of the key. Flatten and isolate. Watch him go to work.

[sd3035]

Curry
Bird
Allen

[LAZERUSS]

Sam Jones.

Just ask Bill Russell.

[Marchesk]

Carmelo Anthony

Mid range shot? Pierce-Dirk
Why would drive or take a mid-range shot when you're down 3 with 5 seconds left?



kobe

hes the best 1 on 5 player that can create a 3 point opportunity with any kind of defense on him

You really must like losing.

[Rolando]

Bird

[Harison]

Bird. Not just because he is arguably the greatest shooter in NBA history (Curry can challenge that), but he also have qualities other great 3PT shooters dont - GOAT BBIQ, height and shooting form makes it impossible to block, also more cold blooded than anyone else in basketball history.

[bigt]

Larry Bird. No one should be more feared in the clutch than him

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Bird.

HM: Nash

[goldcrow]

Bird or Dirk definitely.

[pastis]

curry. this dude is hitting well defended 3s from way way down town.

even kwahi lenoard could not defend him and looked like rookie out there
