If you had to choose one player to make the last shot of the game, who would that player be?
not a fan of kobe or the lakers, but I would choose KB to take the last shot.... too bad robert horry isnt on the list.
Alltime...Jordan, nowadays.... his apprentice. And yes, Robert Horry has hit some killers, nice mention.

-June 10, 2001, NBA Finals, Game 3, Los Angeles Lakers at Philadelphia 76ers
With the series tied at 1, the Sixers were down 89-88 with under a minute to play and with Shaquille O'Neal on the bench having fouled out for the Lakers. Brian Shaw found Horry in the corner and he drilled a 3 with 47.1 seconds left to give the Lakers what proved to be an insurmountable 4-point lead. Horry, who had been a 44% free throw shooter in the postseason to that point, also made 4 free throws in the final minute to seal the victory. The Sixers never recovered.

When that missed as well, Vlade Divac knocked the ball out of the paint to try to run the clock out. However, the ball came right to Horry, who hit a game-winning 3 at the buzzer to give the Lakers a 100-99 victory.

Horry scored 21 points combined, in the fourth quarter and overtime to carry the struggling Spurs.
