i'm not talking about just being able to hit the big shot. i'm talking about which players in the league smell the blood in the water and put their feet on the oppositions throats? i'll start...

kobe
pierce
tony parker

Kobe is the only guy that I would rate cold blooded like Jordan.
Lebron doesn't have the shot but he has that triple threat drive that tends to end any thought of a team making a run for a comeback. Those and one plays are killers to any would be run.

Deron Williams
Mike Bibby
Jamal Crawford
Ben Gordon
Ray Allen
Lebron James
D Wade
Tony Parker
Chauncey Billups
Allen Iverson
Brandon Roy
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Paul
Tracy McGrady
Vince Carter
Devin Harris
Jason Kidd
Nate Robinson
Rasheed Wallace
Eddie House
Mo Williams
Boobie Gibson
Chris Bosh
Baron Davis
Steve Nash
Gilbert Arenas
Manu Ginobili
Sasha Vujacic
Derek Fisher
OJ Mayo
Richard Jefferson
Mike Miller
David West
Morris Peterson
James Posey
Hedo Turkoglu

Kobe is definitely the guy who can make every shot when his team needs it down the stretch. He's just a little bit off from Jordan in that department. There is simply no way to guard those guys when it counts.

2 guys that maybe never got enough credit for being assassins back in the day were Stockton and Hornacek. These guys would never miss a jumper at the end of the game.

Ben Gordon is a guy who don't think is that good of a player, but when the game is on the line he completely transforms. Against the Knicks, there is no player that is more ice than Mo Williams. I don't know what he has against us, but he is like a modern day Sam Cassell.

I agree with Manu as well. That guy has some sort of magic ability to will a team to victory.

Kobe should have hit that shot against Miami to force overtime.
