Do people honestly believe that Kobe is clutch?
I just want you guys' honest opinion. Do you actually think Kobe is clutch? And what made you believe that he's a clutch player? It can't be watching him play, because he's missed way more than he's made...so what is it?

kobe is the most clutch player of all time. not even michael jordan could beat kobe in clutchness.

Clutch isn't just shots made with x amount of time left in the 4th/OT with the score tied or within 5. FG% =/= clutch, otherwise you could argue LeBron was clutch in the 2011 Finals because he shot 48%.
He might miss but he doesn't choke under pressure. Choking is where you play unnaturally and make a bad play. For Kobe, this would be passing to Ryan Kelly to create a good look for example.
There are also stats other than points which are clutch. 6/24 in G7 yes, but 15 rebounds. Then there are intangibles. Kobe has/does these things. He is clutch.

Kobe is a mediocre clutch player. He had one year where he made several game winners, which has boosted his reputation, but when you taken his whole career into account you'll realize he's near the middle of the pack.

how is that a bad play? that's unselfishness, not choking.

Kobe was making bad plays all throughout game 7. Boston was inviting him to take bad shots, and that's exactly what he did.
By your definitely he was very unclutch.

Re: Do people honestly believe that Kobe is clutch?
as a kobe fan. i would say he doesn't have the best stats in the clutch, but outside of jordan i would not take anyone else. IMO taking the clutch shot with 10secs or less in a close game is a psychological thing that transcends any other part of the game. Any amount of hesitation or doubt IMO is very detrimental to taking the clutch shot, and because of that there are only a few players i would compare to jordan and kobe. they can take the shot without thinking about any other possibilities outside of making it and winning the game. that mindset is the best for taking a clutch shot with or without the great stats. Lebron is great in the clutch and his stats prove it, but he is the type of player that always finds the best possible shot whether it's him or someone else taking it. this mentality is a great thing to have too.

Because Kobe is better at getting a good shot. He is also a better passer
