Are you trying to say Lebron is more clutch than Kobe?

 

[Jordan8]

Im just presenting facts

I have no opinion on the matter

 

[onetrust]

Steph Curry creeping in

what?? When has Curry EVER hit a game winner, let alone some clutch shots? Dudes are hella overrating steph here now i swear. I like the guy but he is no clutch player.

Edit: Monta seems to always get overlooked i see.

Kobe has shot about twice as many game winning shots. Lebron til this year has wanted no part of those

Kobe took the most fga on that list by far. There's always a correlation with low fg% and high fga so just cause his fg% is low, you cant say someone like shawn marion who only took 30 fga is more clutch. Numbers don't lie, but they can be misleading if you don't think carefully.

The fact Kobe was trusted that many times to take the last shot tells us his team knows how effective is he is in the clutch.

Kobe has shot about twice as many game winning shots. Lebron til this year has wanted no part of those

Of course Kobe attempted more he's played longer.

And even still...thats only 46 shots difference when Kobe played 7 years longer

thats only 6 "clutch" shot attempt difference per year until Lebron got in the league

And even still The percentage of makes is in Lebron's favor

Look Im not saying one is more "clutch" over the other.

If I need a game winning shot attempt Im going with Kobe.

if I need a game winning decision Im going with Bron.

i just wanted to point out that Kobe as this ice in his veins...Clutch....Game winner is not that accurate when compared to others.

And Lebron being not "clutch" is only accurate if you say also agree that Kobe isnt clutch being Bron is actually more efficient when the game is on the line than Kobe.

Also...

That stat is only accounting 96 - '11 by the way...if you add in the shots Bron has made this season when you said "til this year he wanted no parts of" Im sure the gap is wider.

I dont really define clutch as the last shot but more so hitting the shot thats needed in the games. He is def getting in there but hasnt really sealed the envelope hence I said "creeping"
