To win a game? Jordan, hands down. No one wanted it more than him... no one. I'd be surprised if he doesn't hold the record for game winning shots in the NBA. Time and time and time again, the man flat out won. Course, I bet RockHard would call him 'overrated'.
Finally, three simple words: Craig Ehlo Cleveland
Or you can use just two: The Shot (the most famous clutch shot of all time)
Kobe is so overrated, and I can't wait for him to fail without Shaq. Remember when Penny Hardaway was "the next Jordan"? Same with Kobe. And now Lebron has taken over Kobe's spotlight. But anyway, back to the original question, Jordan without a doubt.
Reggie Miller could be freaky with his clutch shots at times. I cant remember the game/opposition, but the time he drained a 3 with 10 sec remaining and then stole the pass in and drained another 3 with about 3 secs to go was just incredible.
You'd probably need to go to the stats sheets for who you'd most want. A couple of incredible shots wouldnt make up for dozens of missed ones if you wanted reliability, but they'd still make the highlight reals.

That was against the Knicks, in the playoffs. He scored 8 points in 8.6 seconds.

T-Mac did something similar this season, not comparing him to Reggie, just saying. But 8 in 8.6 is amazing (I saw it).
Speaking of everything he throws up going in, no one mentioned Steve Kerr from beyond the arch...the man was unbelieveable.
I think that T-Mac went for 13 points in 36 seconds. Against the Spurs, the Rockets were down 12 with under a minute to go, and he hit 4 3's and a free throw to give them the win.
