Each NBA team’s most clutch player of all-time

Most clutch player in Philadelphia 76ers history: Allen Iverson

The Philadelphia 76ers have seen multiple waves of success, driven by some of the league’s most colorful stars. Moses Malone and Julius “Dr. J” Erving brought titles to Philadelphia, and Charles Barkley brought a shocking combination of skill and personality. In recent years Joel Embiid is one of the NBA’s most enigmatic stars.

Topping them all was Allen Iverson, he of incredible on-court moves and incredulous off-court comments. Although the 76ers of the early 2000s never won a title, they were perennial contenders on the back of Iverson and his clutch-time heroics.

Key Moment: In 2004 the Sixers were taking on the Indiana Pacers, an Eastern Conference rival and a team that always played with an edge. With the game tied at 104 in overtime, Iverson walked the ball up the court as the clock dipped below ten seconds.

Iverson drives into the paint, stopping on a dime at the free throw line. He fakes the defender away, then pops up for an open shot that rattles home at the buzzer. Iverson was never afraid of the big moment, and his play backed that up.
