Word, it’s because of the 2011 finals and skip, and the ray Allen shot, lebron is clutch yet some say he is not people. Those people clearly don’t watch or have any knowledge on the game of basketball
Because he doesn't. If you properly define clutch.. which isn't "5m left with a point diff of +/- 5", but is "2-3m left and you're down by 1-3 in Q4 or OT", Lebron is absolute ass. The more important the shot (playoffs, championship, Game 7...) the worse he gets.
Well 2017 celitcs game 3 11 points warriors 2017 game 3 last 5 minutes didn't score 2018 finals game 1 overtime can't really give him hate had 51 but still 2018 game 1 celitcs 15 points
@@keanemanabat8098 Nah, no reason for Jordan fans to get involved with this one. It’s gonna be Bronsexuals vs Kobe and Curry fans more likely for this one
jimmy butler = undertalented overachiever james harden = overtalented underachiever i wasn't a believer in jimmy at the start of rise, but he proved me wrong
@@maiwandali6014 I wouldn’t call harden an underachiever tho, he has one of the highest winning percentages in the league since his career began. He was never able to get over the warriors
All kinds of myths and narratives about Lebron are very negative. Normally beacuse there a lot of people who like to shot out things while never doing research or never using any brain cells. Lebron has the most game winners and game tie shots in nba history, and also at the same time a higher clutch FG% percentage than people who are known for being clutch, like Jordan and Kobe. No disrespect to them because they are NBA greats who make shots when the game is down to the wire, but Lebron is easily on another level.
People will notice LeBron’s greatness once he retires. It’s just sad most people don’t realize he plays the game at another dimension when compared to others
It’s frighteningly funny how someone’s reputation can be the complete opposite of the facts of who they are. Kobe always getting praised for being clutch despite poor shooting and Lebron consistently get roasted especially earlier in his career for be scared to shoot in the clutch despite the numbers saying otherwise.
But the thing is, Lebron is the ONLY great I’ve ever seen that happen to. Literally everyone else gets a pass when they come up short in the clutch while their made shots get glorified, but for Lebron it’s the complete opposite smh. He has to make every clutch shot otherwise He’S NoT ThE goAT. Or his leGAcY GeTS DaMaGED
I’m kinda not sober but did this man just basically say manscaped is one of the best clutch performers of all time? 😂😂 I got that joint at the crib he low key not lying
Those guys arent dumbasses they disagree and say retarted shii like that because it helps the network and if low was there he would be fired if he didnt start acting like skip n them
The fact that LeBron has these stats is amazing for a man who also facilitates, just imagine if you also include assists here, that will show how great of a decision maker he is.
Am i the only one who finds it a little Crazy that you could ask someone “who do you trust to take the final shot” between Curry, Kobe, Kyrie, and Cp3, and you could say cp3 without hesitating, and you’d be right?
This why I hate the stats gen tho, statistically he may have better percentages or whatever but CP3 has never even been in a real clutch situation, he usually messes up the game/series before he can prove he’s clutch. I’ll definitely take all those guys over CP3 until he proves he can actually get in that spot
@@ivandreuxzuev9473 nah if I'm trusting anyone of those guys it's kobe by far and I'm pretty sure even CP3 will chose kobe over himself. Anyone who thinks CP3 is more clutch needs help or needs to stay away from basketball topics.
Somehow, the only part of this list that surprised me was how efficient Jimmy Butler is. I mean, it might be because I tried to check my bias towards him when he was a Bull. Otherwise, every other player listed doesn't actually surprise me at all
I’d love to see something that compiled every clutch stat. So late game assists, steals, blocks, boards, turnovers as well as points scored and could compile a statistic that factors in all of them into an individual point value. I’m fairly good at math but I don’t know how to go about something like that or what number values that would need to be attributed to value each stat
One of the biggest issues with sports media is that perception becomes reality. In most cases, people forget players missing clutch shots because it's not that big of a deal. You get the best shot you can and hope for the best. For example, what happened after MJ hit that shot against the Bulls? Most people have no recollection of what happened. We only keep track of clutch misses when as it pertains to LeBron. That allows for the perception of him not being clutch. It's unreasonable to expect anyone to be above .500 but that can be ignored when doing it on a daily basis. Also, Kobe's numbers are that way because he took bad shots in clutch situations. Player's like Bron and CP3 make sure that offensive is still being operated effectively so they will not just chuck up shots.
I'm not surprised at Chris Paul was at the top when it came to clutch performances and the postseason as a Clipper fan I got to see it all especially on 2015 that shot against the Spurs was incredible that should not have been the 1st round
Kobe's numbers in the clutch: not too great, high-volume shooting with subpar efficiency Narrative: Kobe is one of the most clutch players ever, he was a killer Lebron's numbers in the clutch: efficient, productive, and quite staggering Narrative: Lebron is not a clutch performer, he hides away from those moments, he doesn't have that killer mentality These false narratives should have never existed. There are so many, but Lebron's clutch performance is one of them.
Wrong LeBron is, Jordan played plumbers was carried by pippen paxson AND kerr while lebron carried bums and in 2018 was when he CONFIRMED his "most clutch of all time" title
How many assisted game winners does he have? Zero lol. That's the thing. He doesn't take the last shot unless it's a good shot. That's great and all, and i actually agree with that mentality. But there's a reason why his fg% is high here.
@@Supreme36074 it isn't an accurate way to gauge how clutch a player is. Lebron's lack of assertiveness at the end of games, and his fear of driving because of the free throw line, makes him less than clutch.
@@NikhilAutar well given that his number of FGA in the last chart were significantly above every player, I would say your statement is backed up by very little actual evidence lol
Nikhil Autar that’s not what I see.... I see a player trying to make the best basketball play... basketball is & will always be more than scoring & he’s the best at them all... Lebron usually hits free throws when it matters... he hasn’t lost too many finals game because he missed free throws... perception is everything.... he’s scores as the situation presents itself... it’s how basketball is meant to be played... simply..
I mean the numbers are undeniable but hate gets in the way of a rational and logical way of thinking. Great video, very illuminating and eye opening for sure.
LOW with another video! Always loved this kind of content, and you was the first channel I came around with this type of content. Much love, keep making content and keep grinding! Love you. (No homo)
Great content I'm in statistics class now actually. The only thing this doesn't take into consideration are the games themselves. For example, Kyrie hits a game winner for an NBA finals. Or LeBron misses the rim on a 3 in the Finals then Ray hits the three. Or Kobe coming back from impossible odds in his last game ever and hits shot after shot. I think the magnitude of the games, beyond grouping playoff games all together, could also be looked at. I'm not saying that would change the outcome, only that this part is missing
@@itsnoahgf-_-6757 bruh ur not gonna talk about kobe 04 finals dirk swept kobe in 11 the airballs on the Lakers vs jazz and finally he blew a 3-1 lead in 06
Remember Bronsexuals, he said in the LAST 20 years. MJ is still more clutch. - MJ in the last 5 minutes of playoff games: 45/86 (52.3%). - LBJ in the last 5 minutes of playoff games: 27/71 (38.0%)
@@handlebucket6285 blocks(lebron block on iggy) steals(jordan steal from Karl Malone in 1997) rebounds(Chris bosh on the Spurs in 2013 finals game 6) are just examples of different ways clutchness is measured, but yeah mj is still more clutch, but that doesn’t make lebron not clutch

Because when you love a player, you ignore the lows and focus on the highs, Kobe has missed a lot of clutch shots but the few he did he hit are the ones you remember
@@alexroger4224 I also think we think that because the difficulty in making the shots is stuck in our heads like his game In tornonto in 2013 I still remember to this day.
This video can’t be used to determine which player is most clutch because it is only looking at one aspect of the game and ignoring others such as defense,rebounding, etc
It definitely can first of most people define clutch by offensive results so the video squares that part away, and if you want to take 1on1 D, team D, assists and rebounding into play LeBron is by far the best player compared to the rest of the guys at the top of this list.
@@idrisbanduk8797 I completely agree with you on that so many variables come in to winning Basketball, all I mean to say is that I feel this video makes a fair assessment to suggest that LeBron is the most consistent clutch player of the league. If you want to start Numbering 2,3,4 etc than the other factors you brought up definitely come into account. But I think it's more than fair for him to be Number 1
Kobe had 36 game winners and hit a million game sealing shots in his career 😂😂 there's good reason to think Kobe was the clutchest. Stats never tell the whole story
Its why subjective arguments such as “killer mentality” never make sense since its not a matter of something that can be evaluated or measured to a certain degree, the narrative that Lebron has never been clutch/not competitive/ whatever is simply not true because although theres an extensive amount of data saying he is, people will simply become more attached to what they already believe since they cant handle Lebron is simply better in whatever way you measure his abilities on the court (no offense Kobe fans some of you guys are reasonable)
Lebron in the mid to late 2010's is clutch, but you don't take into account free throw shooting which is even more important in the clutch, and 1 of lebrons weaknesses.
I mean being 'clutch' is just such a broad term it's hard to define. LeBron's game 6 against Miami was clutch imo, even though that was a full game. Kobe being able to play through injury and still win a chip is clutch for some people and that's totally understandable. Personally I would define clutch as "being able to step up one's game in high pressure situations" which ofc LeBron, Kobe, and the other greats are clutch by this definition. But with the exception of 2011, I don't think any player has the clutch moments that LeBron has (20 straight points against the Pistons, game 6 against the Celtics, 3-1 comeback against the Warriors, etc.).
I’m not knocking lebrons clutchness but there is no perfect definition of clutch in basketball. SO many clutch moments have happened outside of every criteria you had. A great elimination game performance is clutch. A great performance to clinch the playoffs with little games left is clutch. When tmac scored 9 straight some of his points didn’t fit in your criteria. Lebron definitely one of the clutches players but idk about the most clutch
What do you want? He's the most clutch Game 7 performer in NBA history and in the playoffs, he has more game-winners than both Kobe and Jordan on less shot attempts. He's had multiple legendary moments and the Warriors run is still insane back-to-back 41 point games and a triple double game 7 while being down 3-1. You can't ask for more when his back was against the wall at its worse he was lights out
@@colewrld901 yeah that’s what happens when you play 20 years the point is more often than not he didn’t thus disproving how clutch everyone claims he was
Nah that's Kobe. But LeBron is up there. I'm not one of those "LeBron isn't clutch guys" he's clutch when he's on....i'm just saying Kobe was more clutch.
Facts not LeBron hater but how yougonna say he's the clutches player of all time not bring up 2011 finals 2018 game 1 overtime had 4 points 2017 game 3 last 5 minutes instead of shooting gigs it to kylekorver and just didn't score last 5 minutes 2017 game 3 colitis 11 points come on
@@teresitopasok1902 But when you factor in level of difficulty for their clutch shots and clutchness on all levels...from defense to free throw shooting I gotta go Kobe
