Most cluth player in the NBA according to GMs...

(1/4) > >>

Teddy Roosevelt:
Durant - 39.3%
Kobe - 32.1%
Carmelo - 7.1%
LeBron James -7.1%


What do the stats say?

In the final 10 seconds of a game where their team was +/- three points, Durant was 0-of-5 last season but he did get to the free throw line for nine shots (hitting 8), while Kobe was 3-of-9 from the field and got to the stripe eight times (hitting 7). To throw the other guys in there, LeBron James was 4-of-10 from the field with four free throw attempts, while Carmelo was 0-of-4 with just two trips to the line.

The guy I would give the ball to? Joe Johnson of the Nets — 4-of-4 from the field plus he got to the line 8 times. He's been clutch. But that Durant guy is still a good call.

Clutch isn't real. Statistically last five minutes of the game LeBron and Melo are head and shoulders over the league. But niggas are lost in this perception that clutch = hitting a shot in the last five seconds of a game.

I've seen Derek Fisher hit a shot with .3 on the clock. Guess he's just absurdly clutch. ::)

That chart is since 2006 "clutch" meaning last five minutes of the 4th quarter + overtime (if needed) where neither team has more than a five point lead.

Sorry for it being askew but you clearly see LeBron is more efficient.

"LeBron ranks above Kobe in seven of eight samples".

Teddy Roosevelt:
I knew Cham was going to come in here and defend his hero. All that's left is for NIK  to defend Kobe and this thread will be complete.

Remedy360:
I wasn't aware of this "cluth player" stat. Guess I don't really keep up with all these new advanced stats  ;D
