The site www.82games.com just posted a study of game-winning shots/situations from the last five-plus seasons (regular seasons and playoffs since the 2003-04 season) that revealed Kobe was shooting 14-for-56 (25 percent) with one assist and five turnovers, and made 12 of 15 free throws. So let's say that was 70 possessions total, including Sunday night. ... He only had one assist in nearly six years??? That's why Orlando quadruple-teamed him in that spot. Kobe is a phenomenal streak shooter, and he has a real talent for catching fire with a lead and closing games out ... but you can stop him in one-shot situations simply because he's his own worst enemy. He wants to be a hero, he's shooting it, and that's that."

If that stat is legit, then you can't really argue that Kobe is clutch. 45% in the regular season season shooting percentage during that time but in those situations he shoots only 25%? Looks like more of a choke artist to me.

Sure. Its a new article, and it provides some further insight into the legendary closer that is Kobe.
But as I said, I think he will be much better next game. But maybe he isn't god like some of ya'll think?
