Buck Harvey: Hard to deal? Kobe is not the exception (Manu Story)

I don't know about the clutchest player in NBA history as I've seen other many players being as clutch as it gets when it counts (watch out for Tracy McGrady for instance).

What is true is the way Manu plays the 4th quarters regardless of how many points he scores. He just kills the opponent when they are fatigued. He slashed them going into the paint and take hits like a man. He's very smart on finding the right spot, giving the right pass, or getting fouled while attempting a 3-pointer. It's basketball IQ and knowledge. He seems to have an uncanny sharpness when it comes to clutch time that allows him to see clearer than the rest. There's another player capable of doing this in this league and he is Chauncey Billups.

He is really our X factor.
With him playing out of his mind we're unbeatable.

then why do the spurs have one loss?

wow all the Manu lovers here should take it down a notch! Clutchest player ever?? are you insane??

Come on now, lets be real. Manu is clutch no doubt, but far from being the best player ever under pressure.

Now, now. It's widely known that Manu is the clutchiest player in the history of the universe. He's Reggie Miller, Robert Horry and Michael Jordan all rolled into one. Why, just look at the way he avoids fouling the shooter in a game 7 situation. Now that's clutch.

OMG!! Intruder Alert!! Intruder Alert!! Intruder Alert!!

Manu is on Fire, Bitch

Manu is a winner, like Joe Montana, he just wins.

Balls of steelz, no doubt.

true,but maybe that´s the only way to spot him in the 4rd quaters, by sending him to the line and hope he misses,don't you think?

Reggie may be clutch, but never took his team to even one championship,so I wouldn't put him in the same category.

Really? That's what you're going with? Because Rick Smits is in the same category as Tim Duncan, right? Mark Jackson as Tony Parker? But no, it's Reggie's fault that he didn't win a championship, especially when he had all of those easy Chicago teams to go against every year.

If I´m not mistaken Mark Jackson didn't win a championship eather,did he?
Going back to reggie,It´s not his fault that he had to face the Bulls back on the 90's, but if your gonna include all the great players that never won any championships,them the list will be longer thought.

My point is :manu was clutch in many playoff games,even the NBA Finals,and that´s why Reggie would´t go in that category, coze He never won a 7 series NBA final.

Jesus Christ! Did you even see Reggie play? My advice to you, YouTube ReggieMillerNewYorkKnicks and enjoy.

And you realize the only reason Manu's in the Finals is because of Tim, right? Or do you believe that Manu the all powerful could fart his way their with two groupies and five flying monkeys?

I did watch Reggie vs the knicks and His talking to all the front seats people at the Madison Square Garden, but I also watched Manu beat the hell out of the Phoenix Suns in the WCFs in 2005 and the Detroit Pistons in the Finals.

BTW,I have seen Manu win championships without Timmy,in Athems to more acurate.

And we all know that Manu won that gold medal by himself as well.

of course not,But He was the Main man in that team.So He can't be underrated for winning the Gold medal like he is for winning NBA championships.

Who the hell is underrating Manu? We have people on this site declaring him the MVP already two weeks into the season. He's been declared the "clutchest" player ever to breath air by none other than yourself. Remind me who's underrating him again?

you were the one who said that Manu just won something thanx to Duncan,and you also said that Poor Reggie didn't have the same luck to win a championship.
That's why I brought up Athens to your attention,that's all.

Are you really that dense to not see that Manu minus Tim equals ZERO NBA championships? Has the church corrupted your mind in ways that David Koresh can only dream of? Can't you see that Reggie with a player of Duncan's caliber would've been a Finals contender every year in the period after Jordan retired?

:pctoss

Blah...the Jordan excuse again. Reggie had his chance to be a champion when Michael was playing in '98.

Jordan didn't keep the Pacers from advancing to the Finals. He had one of his worst shooting games ever in that Game 7 to be honest. Reggie turned into Houdini and disappeared in the 2nd half and let his team down. He took one shot in the 2nd half of Game 7 and it was a freakin airball :lol

That game went down to the final seconds and if Reggie was just a little more aggressive offensively perhaps the Pacers could have beaten the Bulls in that series. I know one thing for damn sure...you would never see Ginobili disappear like that in a big game.

You mean the same Reggie who forced a game 7 with his clutch three-pointer? That Reggie?

edit: my bad. game 4 was the clutch three-pointer.
