Between 2000 and 2012, Kobe shot by far the highest number of attempts (230) in the final minute of games with a margin of five points or fewer for regular season games. Of those 230 attempts, he only made 80 of them. 80/230 puts him at a mediocre 34.8%, only slightly above the atrocious league average of 33.7%. This means that for every clutch basket that Kobe makes, he has 1.87 clutch misses. If those numbers are considered worthy of being considered one of the clutchest players of all time, Amar'e Stoudemire should be up there, as well. When your clutch numbers are worse than this guy, you probably should join a depression clinic before an all-clutch NBA team.
Regular season games are great and all, but the playoffs are the games that really matter. If you think Kobe's clutch numbers are better there, boy are you wrong. In the final minute of playoff games where the margin is within five points, Kobe has gone 10/31. That's 32.3%, which means that for every one amazing make Kobe has he has 2.09 bricks. Granted this playoff number comes in a small sample size; LeBron James (apparent, notable choke artist) has actually made the same number of clutch shots in the final minute of a playoff game as Kobe between 2000 and 2012 with 11 fewer attempts. That's not even including the plethora of clutch makes LeBron had against the Pacers and Spurs. Kobe's numbers are certainly not indicative of a player who shows up in big games.
You'd expect Los Angeles to also have one of the league's best offenses in crunch time, right? Especially with the ball in the hands of the player most suited to those moments.
That's not what happens, though. In the final 24 seconds of close games the Lakers offense regresses horribly, managing just 82 points per 100 possessions...
The Lakers are not among the league leaders in crunch-time offense -- instead, they're just about average, scoring 82.35 points per 100 possessions in a league that averages 80.03. They are, however, among the league leaders in how much worse their offense declines in crunch time.
When Bryant is on the floor in crunch time, Bryant's Lakers are actually outscored by their opponents.
5 minutes on the clock
Kobe: FG: 81/203 (.399%) 3PT: 11/41 (.268%) Ast' on 12 makes (.148)
Lebron: FG: 70/154 (.455%) 3PT: 17/48 (.354%) Ast' on 10 makes (.143%)
Rundown: Lebron is on a higher level than Kobe in every aspect with 5 minutes to go. He even converts his atrocious 3PT clutch % in the regular season to an astonishing 35% in the playoffs, while Kobes percentage sinks in the playoffs. Could Lebron be the one with the "clutch gene" after all? Moving on to one minute left.
1 minute left on the clock
Kobe: FG: 10/31 (.323%) 3PT: 2/10 (.200%) Ast' on 2 makes (.200)
Lebron: FG: 10/20 (.500%) 3PT: 1/3 (.333%) Ast' on 1 make (.100)
Rundown: Lebron still topping Kobe in every respect. His FG percentage mirrors his regular season average and he creates his own shots, more-so than Kobe does. Kobe is shooting dangerously low here. But, Kobe is known for his last-second shots so lets see how 24 second's goes
24 seconds left on the clock
Kobe: FG: 6/21 (.286%) 3PT: 1/8 (.125%) Ast' on 1 make (.167%)
Lebron: FG: 5/12 (.417%) 3PT: 1/3 (.333%) Ast' on 1 make (.200%)
Rundown: Lebron is clearly on a higher level with 24 seconds to go. The clear gap between the stats took me by complete surprise. I didnt expect them to be on such different levels in Lebrons favor.
