Stats don't lie tbh

Wow so Bean is only 2 behind Jordan? Bean is going for the GOAT this season. (that's how Laker fans will see that stat).

James and Bryant are the most overrated closers in league history. Carmelo and Dirk are both better options than them since they have the post game.

He sucks in just about every other phase of the game but if I need one shot I might have to give it to Carmelo.

Hit 3 3s in that game IIRC. One to send the game to OT and the other game winner.

Still doesn't win it without Chandler/Shumpert's defensive rotation tbh

Nothing new here Kobe Bryant supposed clutchness was exposed long ago: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/pos...in-crunch-time

If you're asking me to pick one guy to make a shot with the game on the line, there's nothing complex about peeking at the record to see how well he has done that job in the past. Every number in that chart is a real moment of NBA basketball, with ten players on the court, and Bryant in a Lakers uniform, rising, firing, and -- most of the time -- missing. These things really happened, and as much as you might want to ignore opinion, or theory, there's no real reason to ignore 79 misses, broken plays, a shocking lack of passing, a coaching staff eager for more team play, and an elite team that gets below-par results with the game on the line.

As long as your mind is open to all that, it has to be closed to the idea that Kobe Bryant is the king of crunch time.

Eh. Shumpert is a a scrub

Steve Nash is the most clutch Laker right now.
