Who in the NBA has the best last second shot?

Question

Who has the highest percentage of making last second shots? Don't make a guess. I want actual statistics. Many of the NBA stars who like to take the last second shot have very low field goal percentages (Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant for example).

Answer 1

Statistically, Carmelo Anthony.

______________________________________...

Game Winning Shot Opportunity = 24 seconds or less left in the game, team with the ball is either tied or down by 1 to 2 points.

Why use this definition?

With 24 seconds or less, then it truly is a "last possession" situation potentially

With a margin from tied to down 2, the team can take the lead with a made basket (including 3's)

By excluding a down 3 situation, we don't have the "gimme two point buckets" that defenses will sometimes yield to the quick bucket/intentional foul strategy option you often see exercised.

Obviously though this definition means a shot may not actually be a game winner -- it may only tie a game (if down two points) or it may allow enough time for the opponents to get a game winning shot of their own. Still it seems a reasonable compromise.

Answer 2

When your name is

Answer 4

Carmelo Anthony

Answer 5

well There A Few People i Would Like Share on who i Think,

Dwyane Wade: Even Tho He's Not The Best , He's Very clutch And Makes Big shots When it's A Close Game, Sometimes, But He's clutch Based on The team He Hates he's very clutch but the team he doesn't hate, ( Like The Spurs ) well He's not really clutch,

Robert Horry: Man i Love This Dude! big Shot Rob! Is old Doesn't Take Shots, But Why Does Coach popavich Put Him in With like 10 Seconds Left? Too Win The Game,

Hedo Turkoglu: Had A Great Year This Year, Was Very clutch And Even Tho He barely Takes The Last Shot, He Still Tries Too make Some Magic in Orlando,

But The Best i Think Is Robert Horry,

Kobe is the best at this. Not lebron thats for sure

Answer 10

there is no "last second shot" statistic, but i'd say the best is gilbert arenas

Answer 11

  my best bet would be ray allen, he had a couple game winners this season.

Answer 12

Robert Horry probably has one of the highest shot percentage.  But he doesn't take as many final shot attempts as T-Mac, Kobe, or Lebron, etc.

On a side note, Kobe has missed more last second shots than Lebron percentage wise.  Lebron is actually made last shot 26 and missed 42 and Kobe is 24-83... Yes, Kobe is clutch, but he's just not THAT clutch...

Answer 13

I'd say Dwyane Wade.

Answer 14

im gonna rank them in my opinion

1.dirk nowitzki- he always makes those last second 3 pointers

2.dwyane wade-arguably the best clutch player in the nba

3.kobe bryant-great in clutch
