Role players deserve more credit for saving NBA superstars in critical moments, as these supporting cast members have preserved and elevated the legacies of basketball's greatest players.

• Supporting cast members (anyone outside the top two players) have repeatedly saved superstars at crucial moments
• JR Smith's defensive intervention made LeBron's famous 2016 Finals block on Iguodala possible
• Ray Allen's corner three in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals saved LeBron's legacy after he scored 16 points in the fourth quarter
• Ron Artest's clutch three in Game 7 of the 2010 Finals preserved Kobe Bryant's championship against Boston
• Derek Fisher's .4 second shot against the Spurs in 2004 kept the Lakers' playoff hopes alive
• Robert Horry's game-winner against the Kings in the 2002 playoffs prevented a devastating 3-1 deficit
• John Paxson's three-pointer in the 1993 Finals preserved Jordan's perfect Finals record and prevented a Game 7
