Heh, I suppose we have a different idea of what it means to be clutch. I've seen many clutch players have trouble throughout the entire game but deliver when everything is on the line in the final seconds. "Clutch" doesn't mean infinitely indesctructable or all-conquering! It means to have the ability to successfully come through when it matters most.
I meant at the end of games. I didn't mean unstoppable. I figured since we were talking about being "clutch" that this would be somewhat obvious. So let me clarify, "Clutch players don't get shut down AT THE END OF GAMES," i.e. miss 15 of their last 16 shots.

Never did I say Redick was a great player. Rather, he is a phenomenal shooter who has trouble creating his own shots, unlike the hall-of-fame superstars you mentioned. But when he does have a decent look, I want Redick taking the final game winning shot every time.
So basically Redick is clutch when he's wide open. So are 99% of all pure shooters I've ever seen.
