Dude has only missed 2 ft's all season. But I'm going with: Manu, Nash and Mehmet Okur. Despite the article I think Ray and Chauncey are known for their "clutch" free throws throughout the league. So to call them "underrated" is ridiculous because they are clutch and are known for that. They are surely on anyone's top 5 list, so I disagree that they are underrated. I think Manu, Nash, and Memo are underrated because I bet they would get left off a lot of people's top 5 "clutch" ft list. Hard not to put Jose on my list. Dude has only missed 2 ft’s all season.

No Doubt He is ten times better in the clutch than he is normally The Blazers don't win so many close games just because of B-Roy, its all about Outlaw too Travis Outlaw is the most under-rated closer in the NBA… No Doubt

He is ten times better in the clutch than he is normally

Kobe overrated? Please. I hate him too, but that doesn't mean we don't acknowledge him as the best in the game right now. And don't be saying LeBron... He's a close 3rd. dag: Ray underrated yes.

It's usually Kobe, Wade, Pierce, Billups and B-Roy that get talked about. Like the article says, it's because most people only think of game-winners from the field when they think "clutch." Same reason people say Dirk isn't clutch, but he's a killer with those late-game free throws.
