With all the talk about 4th quarter choking by certain individuals in the playoffs, what are some of the more memorable 4th quarter performances in recent memory?

Lebron James, Game 5 of 2007 Eastern Conference Finals:
Lebron scores last 25 points for Cleveland from 4th to double OT.

Dirk Nowitzki, Game 5 of 2006 Western Conference Finals:
Drops 50 after getting punked by Tim Thomas, including 22 in the 4th quarter.

Tim Duncan, Game 6 of 2003 NBA Finals
Almost had a quadrupule-double and led Spurs back from 9 point deficit to clinch title.

Allen Iverson, Game 6 of 2001 Eastern Conference Finals:
Iverson scores 26 points in the 4th, and finishes with 46 points. Cuts a 26 point Bucks' lead to 10.

Michael Jordan, Game 6 of 1998 NBA Finals
45 points in what should've been his final game, including key steal and winning jumper.

Reggie Miller, Game 5 of 1994 Eastern Conference Finals
Led Pacers back from 12 down in the fourth quarter against the knicks, scoring 25.

1. Michael Jordan- (championship clincher)
2. Tim Duncan- (championship clincher)
3. Lebron James- (final 25 points at detroit? are you kidding me?)
4. Allen Iverson- (hands Lakers first loss of playoffs at LA)
5. Reggie Miller- (kinda pushed off but amazing clutch shots)
6. Dirk Nowitzki- (great performance, just not better than the top 5)

Well, it certainly ain't last night's performance by Kobe "Amelia Earhart" Bryant who pulled off a great disappearing act in the 4th qtr. :lol

Pau "The Lllama" Gasol got yet another big ball shoved down his throat & Amelia Bryant vanished! :lol Maybe he was in the locker room getting tended to for that MAMBA bite! :lol
