Dog On It!
A lot of players, great or not, are going to miss game-winning shots. I believe Jordan said he missed a lot more game-winners than he made. Doug Christie air-balled a rather important game-winning 3-pointer. So what? At least they took the shot.
I'm not declaring Peja clutch, but neither do I think he was the complete wimp many here want to paint him. Peja suffered from not being the player so many Kings fans wanted him to be. If he'd been seen as a role player, there to do what he did best, there wouldn't be so much criticism, IMHO. A lot of games wouldn't have been close enough to win without Peja burying a boatload of 3s. And I loved watching him do it.
