I came across this Michael Jordan video…
and then started wondering who was more clutch, MJ or Tiger?
Both Michael and Tiger were/are the most clutch players in their sports.
Michael was not only the most talented player of all time, but was clutch when the game was on the line. Tiger is clutch and continues to make the important shot when the tournament is on the line.
The edge needs to go to Jordan. Not because he was better, but because of the sport he played. Tiger is awsome and the best golfer ever. The difference: in golf you are not double-covered by two 6 foot 8 inch athletes. Golf is a great sport but it is man vs the course and environment. Basketball is man vs man, or multiple men vs man.
This is not meant as a slight against Tiger. When his career is all over, he will probably be the winningest golfer of all time.
Hoops vs Golf… The basketball player was the better athlete… and more clutch.
