Turns out he's the most clutch shooter of his generation. Sorry, TOP.

It's only so good because of how many little clutch shots he takes.

Edit: never mind this is just the playoffs.

Our eyes lie to us. Nobody would have guessed Kobe the closer Bryant was this horrendous.

Not to debate Kobe vs Lebron...or discuss anything with you really, but there's a whole lot more to "clutch" and "closing" than five seconds.

I get that. There is a lot of data that suggests he's not that good in the 4th quarter at all.

During his career, Lakers have been highest scoring franchise.

During his career, Lakers have been average at scoring in the 4th quarter....when he supposedly takes over.

So he's retarding their offense for most of the 4th quarter and he's not hitting game-winners....so what is he doing to earn the nickname "closer"?

If you were to expand clutch stats to the last 5 minutes, then the gap between Lebron over Kobe is even wider.

Really there is no debate between Lebron and Kobe, but Shaq gave him 3 rings so therein lies the misconception.

"Playoff Games

Game 7 of a Playoff Series

Kobe 22.2ppg on 38.9% FG with 8.0rpg and 5.0apg (6 games)

LeBron *34.0ppg on 46.5% FG with 8.1rpg and 3.5 APG (4 games) (*NBA Record)

LeBron is clearly the better player when it pertains to game 7s

Elimination Games

Kobe 21.5 ppg on 41.4% FG with 5.8rpg and 3.5apg (19 games)

LeBron 31.5 ppg on 46% FG with 10.0rpg and 6.5apg (12 games)

LeBron is also clearly the better player when facing elimination.

I have deliberately left out the two player’s records in these games because whether a team wins or loses is a team accomplishment. Basketball is a team game and therefore it’s foolish to attribute a loss to just one player alone.

Game 7 of their most recent NBA Finals

Kobe in game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals: 23 points, 6-for-24 shooting (0 for 6 from 3pt range), 25% FG, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 4 turnovers

LeBron in game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals: 37 points, 12 for 23 shooting (5 for 7 from 3pt range), 52% FG, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers."

A few years ago a bunch of kids got the words fearless and clutch confused. Boom, Kobe's clutch.
He'll take any shot, and more times than not, miss. That never stopped him from trying again
