Last second shots are a major part of the game. I can't tell you a basketball related movie where it doesn't come down to a last second shot. The NBA needs somebody to tie with "clutch". & when Jordan left, they needed somebody new. Now we have Kobe. LeBron is still young. I'm sure down the road, he'll be that guy & then Durant & then some guy who is in college or high school right now.

I know when LeBron was losing a game & when he went three possessions in a row scoring, I would say to myself, "Oh here we go. LeBron is about to go off". It's what we want to see.

I always said, if you're a 40% shooter in general & you shoot 40% inside of two minutes, you're not "stepping up", you playing like yourself. If Kobe is playing a game and he's shooting like 30% with like five minutes left in the fourth & he starts hitting shots & he finishes the game shooting 40%, he's not stepping up, he's just doing his average.

I think if you shoot 40% from the field...and shoot 40% in the clutch, you are stepping up in a way. Only because it seems that on average, players shooting percentages all go down during the clutch. So if you stay the same, then you are outperforming others. Since you mentioned Kobe though...he drops to shooting 31.3% in the clutch

Yes in Crunch time them opponent's niggas defense is tightening up and shit so if you can score your average it's an improvement. Anyways niggas only be focusing on national televised shit and playoffs and nba finals n shit, cause Dirk has been a real nigga in crunch time a lot. Any Mavs can tell you this shit yo. Especially in his very best years he's been pretty off the hook with this shit. Still, niggas out of town do and will always see him as a choke bitch, cause he didn't win the title in 2006 due to Salvatore and other Mafia structure related niggas. Nigga is missing a free throw in the most fixed big game since Lakers-Kings in 2002 and he's a choke bitch. Perception is everything regarding clutchness, that's what I wanna tell yall niggas. Of course there's niggas who exceed under pressure and niggas who fold under it. Yet however, sometimes you just miss a shot cause you miss it, and hit it cause you just hit it. It can be that random. Most players also have streaks in general. So if you hit a hot streak during crunch time, you gon be that nigga. If you however hit a cold streak, you gon be that bitch nigga.

One thing that Kobe does well is clutch on national tv and playoffs, as the Lakers do in general. I can tell you watching many Laker games, in the regular season they can lose many games in the clutch, and look like they don't care. Hell, sometimes I swear Phil Jackson coaches to lose, just so he don't have to coach the all star team in the mid season, or he has a reason to teach them a lesson. But come playoffs, Kobe and the Lakers are pretty clutch, or else they would not have won those 5 titles with Kobe, Fisher and Phil.

Shaq for 3 of them. The center that most Laker fans believe was better than Hakeem in his prime, but somehow wasnt the focal point during those first three championships. lol

Its funny to me when Lakers fans say the Lakers dont care about the regular season lol. Its like theyre stealing Popovichs approach, but using it as an excuse for when they lose. The Lakers and Phil have typically CARED about the regular season. Its why they were the #1 seed last year. They usually try to jump out to a big lead (in the standings) to sure up the #1 spot for the playoffs. If any team typically doesnt care one bit about the regular season its the Spurs. This is the first year Pop has decided to put his foot on the gas early.
