LMAO – Hulk Hogan. That was funny.

Tell me what Steve Nash has really done in the clutch? I guess I would say the same for Kieth Hernandez who I did like as a player. I also think no one compares to Jordan as far as clutch, including Montana who I did have at #2.

Hernandez had nerves of steel and whenever he had to get a hit, he got it. Without Hernandez the Mets never get to the WS, much less win it. I know he is debatable, but from watching him his entire career as a Met I appreciate how clutch he was.

Nash is also debatable, but watching him in the playoffs last year, especially the closeout game in Dallas he nailed big 3's, made clutch passes, etc.

And the Hulkster is the man, he stepped it up for every big match.
