NBA Playoffs - NYSTOM's Last Second Shot

From the title you should guess that LeBron isn't on this list (that was a good one), but in his defense, neither are a lot of other guys.  This is boiled down to which one person you want taking the last second, free throw, 3 pointer, or just a shot period.  This is based off of the playoff numbers, so don't be mad at me. 

Who I want taking the last-second shot:

Dwyane Wade, MIA 181-for-373 48.5%

Who I want taking the last-second free throw:

Dirk Nowitzki, DAL 175-for-186 94.1%

Who I want taking the last-second 3-pointer:

Jason Terry, DAL 42-for-95 44.2%

All you Dallas fans and Heat haters, is this really true?  And this answers a question I had after the series, the total number of free throws for Dirk.  186?!?!?!  Wow.  It's amazing that he hit 175, but the fact that he had 186 is out of this world. 

NBA 2010 Last Second, Who You Got?

Clock ticking down, game on the line, who should be taking that last second shot? 

Who I want taking the last-second shot:

Amare Stoudemire, NYK   376-for-749   0.502

Who I want taking the last-second free throw:

Kevin Martin, HOU   290-for-326   0.890

Who I want taking the last-second 3-pointer:

Jason Richardson, ORL   96-for-228   0.421

Not sure if I'm on board with you on this one NYSTOM.  Richardson can't continue to stay on this list. 

NBA 2010 Last Second, Who you got?

What player do you want to have the last shot of a game?  Right now NYSTOM has these 3 guys.

Who I want taking the last-second shot:

Amare Stoudemire, NYK   320-for-611   0.524

Who I want taking the last-second free throw:

Kevin Martin, HOU   246-for-275   0.895

Who I want taking the last-second 3-pointer:

Dorell Wright, GSW   79-for-193   0.409

Dorell Wright?  Are you kidding me?  I definitely want him on the bench when the last second shot has to be taken.  Who would you pick?

NBA 2010 Last Second, Who you got? (as of 11-30-10)

We have a little bit of change in the Last Second shot category.  Take and look and give NYSTOM some feedback.  

 

Who I want taking the last-second shot:

Dirk Nowitzki, DAL   165-for-303   0.545

Who I want taking the last-second free throw:

Kevin Durant, OKC   130-for-142   0.915

Who I want taking the last-second 3-pointer:

Jason Richardson, PHO   49-for-105   0.467

I still am not giving Jason Richardson the ball to hit a clutch 3, anybody but him.

NBA 2010 Last Second, Who You Got?

You’re an NBA owner, coach, or player and your team has the ball.  Who do you want taking that last shot?  Who do you want taking a clutch free throw?  Who do you want taking that last second 3-pointer?  Well, from time to time, NYSTOM will provide answers to those questions based on some number crunching and whatever else he does with is formula.  Take a look. 

Who I want taking the last-second shot:

Paul Millsap, UTA   98-for-162   0.605

Who I want taking the last-second free throw:

Kevin Durant, OKC   87-for-94   0.926

Who I want taking the last-second 3-pointer:

Jason Richardson, PHO   31-for-65   0.477

NYSTOM, I’m with you on Kevin Durant taking a last second free throw, but Paul Milsap taking my last shot?  He was hot for a few games there, but I’m not sure he’s earned that rep.  J Rich would not be taking the last second 3 for me.  I know he isn’t that clutch.
