    Neither Kobe nor Raymone comes close to Mike when it comes to the clutch gene, or the killer gene. Kobe's commitment to visual perfection in movement was akin to Michael, but not in terms of actual effectiveness.

    Good results. Kobe can beat me himself, while Lebron needs Ray Allen to bail him out.

    There were no super spot up shooters and stars near Kobe. Because of that he was defended by 2 and sometimes 3 players. So, it was normal for him to play around 0,4 fg.

    Yeah that makes sense, I mean LeBron's a better finals performer, has put up much better numbers against much tougher competition, and has more playoff game winners for sure Jordan has the clutch gene

    80 to 20%, super yikes.

    44k people vs one troll with 20 alts on ISH, I'm going with 44k people.

    Kobe being clutch is one of the most persistent myths in sport, and it's quite amazing to me, given how much statistical evidence there is against this claim.

    I don't even care about the comparisons to Lebron, since Lebron's record is quite mixed on this topic, the base claim about Kobe is the problem here.

    Jordan was clutch, Bird was clutch, Reggie was clutch, Kobe was not. What Kobe did was take a ton of shots, make a few of them, and somehow people forgot about all the misses, and only remembered the few makes.

    Kobe might literally be the most manufactured media Superstar we've ever seen. And yet people just let that go by the wayside.

    Seasons above .469 = 0

    % in clutch = below league average

    MVPs in 20 years = 1

    Rapes = 1

    Missed playoffs in PRIME = Yes

    Blew a 3-1 lead before it was cool = Yes

    I mean geeze, I could easily go on but I feel bad at this point. I feel like if I keep dissecting him he'll fall into the top 20

    "Clutch" is 2 minutes left with margin of 3 in playoffs,

    I will be only talking about Lebron and Kobe, considering these two were heads and shoulders beyond everyone else for their efficiency and volume.

    Playoffs:

    Lebron

    He is 40/106 in clutch situation
    His free throw shooting is 49/67
    True Shooting is, 49.8%

    His free throw shooting is 67/79
    His true shooting is 58 %
    Assists per 36: 4.3 assists
    Turnovers per 36: 1.7 turnovers

    Finals: Last 2 minutes, margin of 3.

    Lebron

    His free throw shooting is 10/14
    His true shooting is 31%
    Assists per 36: 3.7 assists
    TO per 36: 3.7 TO

    Kobe

    His free throw shooting is 4/5
    His true shooting is 56.4%
    Assists per 36: 7.5 assists
    TO per 36: 1.5 TO
    Finals: Last 5 minutes, margin of 5.

    Lebron

    17/62 in clutch situations in the finals.
    32% EFG
    43% TS.
    Assists per 36: 4.26
    TO per 36: 3.1

    Kobe
