Who do you think is the most clutch player in the NBA?
Colin Cowherd lbj
Brian Scalabrine
LeBron. But too many haters don't want to admit it.
Kyrie clutch shooter - Lebron clutch player
ISO Joe Johnson. Just fact. LeBrons makes the right play tho
Dirk Nowitzki and Joe Johnson don't get enough credit for how clutch they are
Alexander Patrick you're right stats don't lie at this year on at least 31 clutch shots attempts Lebron leads with 66% I can link you the video if necessary
QBeezzy11 link me that plz
RACEWAY 500 Dirk is clutch AF
+RACEWAY 500 Yes do. Everyone know they're clutch. That's why Joe gets the ball at the end of games.
RACEWAY 500 Joe Johnston yes he is clutch king
There's a lot more that goes into "clutch" than just making big shots. So I want the ball in lebrons hands over anybody else in the last 2 minutes.
Ray Charles for sure
Aulo unfortunately people won't admit it
Ray Charles yeah I wpuld definitely want the ball in his hands if i wanted him to pass the ball to someone actually clutch.
Yo Mammas Boo I see you everywhere hating on LeBron. Keep it moving.
Ray Charles the thing is , if lebron took half the stupid shots dudes like Kobe took he would be ethered over how he was a ballhog and made dumb plays but instead getting high percentage looks is looked down upon in terms of being clutch
Ray Allen wasn't even mentioned. tsk tsk tsk...
Skip covered that part.... over... and over again
kwahi Leonard is great
vinul g Kahwi jus air balled a game winner
Jesus Bggg u must have not seen the other 8 clutch shots that he hit before and after that
Wesley Griffin I did but he air balled the won that could've iced it 💁🏾♂️
let's be real Kobe air balled a game winner too, so Kobe isn't clutch?
NlneLives210 kobe demanded double teams, meanwhile LeBron always get guarded singlehandledy
Yes He Is!!
Aisian ThreeQUISIANS nope
Agree
Aisian ThreeQUISIANS Nice trolling Borat.
Bruh he always finds a way to talk about lebron
I mean, did you not see how clutch Lebron was against the Pacers?
Jamie Horman bro Lebron is the best player in the world, whom do you want him to talk about? Jeremy Lin ?
They just finished their sweep of the pacers yesterday in a close game in which lebron played great. Why wouldn't he talk about him?
I agree that he talks about him too much (even though that's debatable, it's his channel after all), but when I come to this channel I already know what I'm going to see. It's like, if I go watch Skip Bayless (I usually don't like him because he manages to be even less objective when it comes to LeBron, but sometimes he makes good points) I know I'm going to hear him dismiss everything good he does and somehow talk about Ray Allen's shot in 2013.
Also, I think in this instance talking about LeBron is appropriate since he just swept Indiana while averaging a near triple double.
For those that don't consider LeBron clutch: Go back and watch the final 1-2 minutes of the biggest games LeBron has played in recent years (specifically Playoff games). If the games are close, just watch him. Have you ever seen him make a mistake? Seriously. He orchestrates EVERYTHING. He brings the ball up, he directs traffic, he knows what the defense wants to do. He gets the matchup he wants for himself or his teammates, and he executes it to perfection. He does it on defense too! Orchestrating and executing. Blocking shots, getting rebounds and steals. He makes the play because he is one step ahead of everyone. He's playing chess and everyone is playing checkers.
Now, does that mean the shot always goes in, or that the Cavs always win? Of course not! But the definition of clutch is to not shrink in the moment. To not play too fast, to know exactly what to do and to make that play. LeBron is the smartest basketball on Earth right now. He knows what to do, and he makes it happen. Just look at what he did to the Pacers! Not only last night, but all series. He picked them APART. Last night, with the game on the line, he brought the ball up, and direct his teammates to PnR so that he got Myles Turner on him. Then he torched Turner. CLUTCH.
Trent Kinsey he has a superteam that takes the pressure off. so he isn't clutch
The players around you have very little influence on how clutch you are (not to mention Kyrie and Love are hurt ALL THE TIME). LeBron blocking Iguodala last year with the Finals on the line wasn't b/c of a superteam, neither was the way he finished off the Pacers. Being clutch is not just about hitting last second shots, that was my whole point. Being clutch is executing the offensive and defensive gameplan with the game on the line, and no one does that better than LeBron.
Lebron is a lot more clutch than the people give him a credit. But I wouldn't classify Lebron as a clutch player.
I think a lot of people think of clutch as only taking the final shot and honestly Kyrie should be taking that shot. But Lebron is clutch in the sense that there is no other player you would rather have leading your team in game 7 of a playoff series.
Harry Garris true
What about Isaiah Thomas tho he scores the most points in the fourth
Malik Elarbi i would put him as a clutch player. he can really score a ton of points and make the right pas or Defense in the finals 3 minutes of the game. its not purely taking the final shot
Colin: "I don't care what the numbers say" for Lebron and Kobe
*Brings up numbers for Westbrook only* lol
Short answer: No
"No" -Skip Bayless
No. But that doesn't mean he still can be the greatest player, you don't have to be the most clutch to be the best. You can average 2 points a game, those shots are the last seconds, I will take the guy who makes points, assists, rebounds and everything that makes a team into a championship contender.
Did Colin just admit to the Dallas mavericks series disaster, IS THAIS A FAKE VIDEO
I trust LeBron in the last 2 minutes to make the right basketball play. But taking the last shot??? Nah fam..
How much is LeBron paying this guy lmao
voibits u corny bro lol
Richard Torres he is corny 😂 smh
Richard Torres Lebron still the 🐐
Lol for stating facts?
Wow a rare Lebron video!
Thank God somebody on a national sports platform is logical and unbiased shout out to Colin!
Kyrie still the clutches player in the NBA
He wasn't clutch against the pacers though, it was all Lebron.
Donkey Green OK that doesn't mean LeBron is the clutches player
Clutchlikekyrie 2 proof. ?
QBeezzy11 of what
QBeezzy11 so you just took info from a random page that doesn't even show stats it's based on their opinion
Let's not get ahead of ourselves the clutchest players in the NBA are Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving
trevion sewell Damian Lillard?
Kawhi? Dude missed a free throw where if he hits it they win the championship. And missed the GW shot last game.
MrRedbull901 Damian lillard is the most overrated point guard in the NBA
trevion sewell Kahwi jus air balled a game winner
Airball Leonard
here's one statistic:
in 52 playoff games Lebron-led teams went to the 4th quarter with a 10 point lead or more, they are:
52-0.
Never would of though that THIS would ever be a legitimate question... c'mon now. I'd take my dude Kyrie before LeBron right now.
Update: Skip would love to be on this show with a LeBron topic lol
Jay Kelz 😭😭😭
I wouldn't say most clutch. I'd say that title goes to kyrie or kawhi. But lebron is certainly up there.
Kyrie? Bro hes made 2 clutch shots in the playoffs chill out with that. Lebron is the clutch master rn maybe one day kyrie and kawhi will get there but not yet
Kahwi jus air balled a game winner
Jesus Bggg did u see he out scored the grizzlies 22 to 21 in the 4th and ot.
NlneLives210 yes I also seen him airball a game winner
Jesus Bggg Kobe has air ball a game winner .so Kobe isn't clutch ?
Finally Colin has something positive to say about Kobe.
Kyrie Irving, Joe Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Isaiah Thomas...Just to name a few.
wtf no... Kawhi has been the most clutch all season... they try to give this man anything
How have skip and Colin not had a debate on lebron??
He's had key clutch moments in his career can't deny that
no one's mentioning Carmelo? Dude has the most go ahead FG in the last 5 secs since 2003
Dirk, Ray Allen, Kobe, Kyrie, Joe Johnson are some of the clutchest I've seen.
Saying Kobe aint clutch is like saying cows dont drink milk
skip bayless had a heart attack when he watched this
If Russell Westbrook called a timeout they didn't have, you'd call him careless
Westbrook definitely is
Joe Johnson is the definition of clutch
LeBrons middle name is Raymond but he's Mr.Clutch
There was absolutely a time in Lebron's career where he was not clutch. But to his credit he's gotten way better at it, and now is definitely one of the most clutch guys in the NBA.
Is LeBron the most efficient in the League? Yes. Is LeBron the most intelligent? Yes. The most clutch? He's has his moments. Depends on your definition. Most people only consider Offensive circumstances clutch. But to me there's NO way you can't call that chase down block on Iggy clutch. He made the free throw that made it a 2 possession game. "Clutchness" is necessarily his strongest attribute, but he has his moments.
There are players who play better under pressure. Joe Johnson for example.
so as long as you're confident in clutch situations you are clutch?? regardless of whether you actually perform? okay.
For the last shot? Nah. Would rather let Kyrie take it. But if you're asking someone to dominate in big games, LeBron James is the man.
Colin can't hold 1 minute without taking shots at Westbrook
The problem is the casual fans think clutch is the only shots you make in the final minutes. They don't factor in much weight for the shots they miss and played efficiency.
That's why these Kawai, Kobe, and MJ fans think they are way more clutch since they can hit pretty jump shots but they also missed many of them.
I think Peyton manning had a record for most 4the quarter comebacks in a season
Westbrook nailed a buzzer beating three from about 28 feet to win a game. That's "clutch"
Collin made a lot of since. Hard to refute that argument.
Joe Johnson, Chris Paul, Mike Conley and Kawhi Leonard are showing what clutch is on their respective series
oh btw, I think Joe is the best clutch player. Thats almost all he does
I wish skip and colin would go head to head about lebron just so colin can expose skip.
The King of Akron is clutch!!! He will keep showing it.
James is clutch. Since the '11 Finals that narritive has been rewritten.
Jesus Colin! It took a full 3:15 to mention Russell Westbrook this segment, is something wrong?
Again he brings up Westbrook and starts bashing him lmfaooo. Colin and Skip should have a show together, that would be golden!
As long as he's not being tripped by Richard Jefferson, I'll take KD in the clutch all day
Lebron is definitely far removed from the 2011 choker and 2014 choker but to say he's the most clutch is a bit of a stretch imo
This is a fair assessment
Lebron is clutch because he often stays calm and makes the right plays in final moments. He ensures that the chance of winning is the biggets possible. He doesn't necessarily take the last shot, but he will sure send the ball to the right person at the right time.
So this argument falls apart when you first talk about Russ bringing in numbers, then you mention Kobe saying you don't care about the statistics. Don't you feel like Russ much like Kobe shoots it with the same level of confidence everytime?
I think carmelo Anthony is very overlooked when it comes to clutch shots
Follow me on this analogy y'all.... Player 1 is a 45% 3 point shooter who took a game winning 3 and made it. Player 2 is a 38% 3 point shooter who took game winning 3 and missed it. Is player 1 clutch and player 2 a choker?
No, Kawhi Leonard is.
Yikes.
hmm, as a lebron fan. yes, kawhi, iso joe and kyrie are the clutchest players in the league.
Lebron has 6 playoff game winner. Kawhi has 0. Iso Joe has 1. Kyrie has 0.
Lebron is 0-5 in game winning/tying shots in the Final 10 seconds of NBA Finals
Lebron has 6 playoff game winners.
You're nit picking stats (last 10 seconds ? c'mon man, why not last minute or 30 seconds.) LeBron hit the shot to put the Heat up by 4 in game 7 of the 2013 finals, also being clutch doesn't mean you have to hit the last shot.
2013 game 6, Lebron shot 1 of 4 with 3 turnovers in the last 4 minutes, including 2 turnovers and two missed 3's in the last 45 seconds. Saved by Ray Allen.
For his reg season career, Lebron is 10-64 on game-tying/go-ahead shots in final 5 seconds (top 5 worst all time).
Playoff game-winners/tyers with 25 seconds or less
- Jordan 10/19 (53%)
- LeBron 8/23 (35%)
For his career in the Finals, Lebron has shot under 30 percent in clutch time.
"Saved by Ray Allen?"
Uhh yes b/c he would have blew the game if not for ray allen being so clutch. What he did in the 3rd is irrelevant especially if he chokes at the end of the game. Clutch is the last mins of the game with the most pressure.
"What about these times blah blah blah"
You're focusing on the few times he was clutch and not on all the times he wasn't. No one is saying he's never clutch. It's about is he more clutch than not.
"Lebron is 6-13 (46%) in game winners while Jordan is 5-11 (45%) in the PLAYOFFS"
Cherry picked. That doesn't include game-tyers and is only in last 5 seconds. And in the most clutch moment, finals game winners, he is 0/5. MJ is 4/8.
"In last 24 seconds your stats ARE COMPLETELY WRONG! According to Bleacher Report & Pattani, Lebron is 7-16 (43.8%) while Jordan is 9-18 (50%)."
Not wrong. 8/23 includes game tying shots.
And game winners they are wrong. He is 7/18
bkref.com/tiny/GTHwY
"in the playoffs, in the 4th quarter or overtime, 0:24 or less left in quarter, shot to take lead"
"In last two mins in the clutch Lebron is 21-43 (48.8%)"
Not sure what the parameters on that are but playoff 2 min clutch (score within 5 pts), he is 59/149 (39.6%)
bkref.com/tiny/eK00D
"in the playoffs, in the 4th quarter or overtime, 2:00 or less left in quarter, scoring margin between -5 and 5 points"
Not to mention his career is not over, so expect the % to go down further.
scoop245 You realize LeBron also hit the 3 to make the score 92-94 with 20 seconds left, right ? Once again if LeBron didn't make that shot Ray Allen's shot is meaningless, saying Kyrie or Ray Allen saved LeBron is just like saying the kicker saved the qb just because he kicked the game winning field goal in the super bowl even though the qb was the one who drove them 50 yards to get them in position in the first place.
Colin always finds a way to bring up LeBron....even during non basketball topics
Wow, as we all know this is a very nice show but, I have never seen someone talking about LeBron James like that......
some people think clutch is just making a shot at the last second. Clutch can be coming up from a deficit. And locking down a good player for a good amount of a end of a game. Some people see the pretty last second shots and think that's the only thing that counts for a clutch player
Carmelo Anthony is by far the clutchest player in the regular season in the league now, its unfortunates he hasn't had the opportunities to do that in the playoffs.
This guy cannot go a day without doing a segment about Lebron. He is the best player I will give you that but he beat the 8 seed pacers. Calm yourself man
7 seed
I'm about to stop watching Cowherd's Lebron segments lol no objectivity juss Lebronitivity. Lebron is not the best clutch player in the league. Stop
How does Paul George not feel the same? He missed one shot got damn
Clutch is more than shooting game winners so LeBron is definitely clutch in making clutch plays, clutch defensive stops and clutch shots..#Witness👑
Peyton Manning clenched his teeth in pressure except for the 2009 season (minus the Super Bowl).
Clutch?? This man is crazy
No one is taking anyone else but lebron in the last two minutes.
Anyone else put on some Colin and go to sleep?
Just saying Lebron has the 2nd most playoff game winning shots in postseason history. He has 6. Jordan has 7. Curry has 0
LIKE FOR COLIN AND SKIP TO DEBATE THIS LIVE
MJ. Ow wait ..
Golden state versus Portland-you know what that reminds me of...............................LeBron James
Of all the praise you can give lebron, clutch is not one of them
whenever he bring up lebron. i already know what he gonna say. hes the biggest lebron fan.
Uses stats to discredit Paul George then is like " I don't care what the stats say on Kobe, he looks the same in the first as he does in the 4th". This shows getting worse
I wouldnt let him take the last shot to win but he is good coming down to crunch time
Colin is just trolling at this point.....
Lebron also missed a clutch 3 but nope people don't talk about that
Jordan is the most clutch but he's only known for 2 shots, (Jazz and Cavs)
maurice watson m j overrated fading on 6'2 guards
he's not even the most clutch on his team
Kyrie is overrated just because of the shot over Stephen Curry. Lebron is an underrated clutch shooter. And clutch does not just mean game-winner. It also means decision making, defense and so on.
Kyrie is the most clutch player in the league. Dude hits the big shot all the time but yes LeBron is very clutch when it comes to making the right play to get a bucket.
I don't think he could face up curry in game 7 of the finals and drain a three in front of his face to take the lead with 50s left though.
Of course he's the most clutch why this is even a topic to discuss?
Are we really gonna act like Brian scalabrine isnt the most clutch player in NBA history!!!
yo why does colin's mouth get watery so quick? just one sentence in and he has a saliva packed mouth hahah
It depends on what you mean by clutch. If you mean clutch shots, I'd prefer many other players before LeBron. But if you mean clutch performance, considering his passing, basketball IQ and defense; you could argue LeBron is a great clutch player.
Kyrie Irving is more clutch the LeBron James
The man has been hitting his threes for the past few games and now there tryna say hes the most clutch. Chill Out.
He also had key turnovers missed 2 daggers and struggled to close out against a terrible 4th quarter team...
Another day, another LeBron James video
I think clutch goes to all statistics ball handling, shooting, facilitating, high IQ, and closer. 🤷♂️Tough one but my top would be Lebron,Kyrie,Kawhi,Harden,Lilliard
Lmao he said "Westbrook isn't clutch cuz he missed a bunch and hit one..." that's what clutch is... you can miss all day long but if you hit the one that wins the game... it's clutch. Fisher's .4 shot isn't clutch cuz he dropped single digits that game?
I would have drop the Mic, that's Answer is absolutely On point! That for Any Top Athletes in all Sports! I agree💯
cmon now the most clutch player in the league is lebrons teammate not him.
very very good explaination of being clutch
