Number of T-Mac's Clutch Plays So Far This Season...

I dont see how making a free throw (even late in the game) can be considered "clutch". Besides as you said he missed the second one. I agree with the other ones.

Hopefully he will have many more "clutch" moments throughtout his career here in houston (especially in the playoffs).

 

Pls remove the game vs. dallas, otherwise I agreed with u whole-heartedly. T-mac is super clutch with us this year.

People keep saying kobe is the most cluth player in the league but stats from 82games.com showed otherwise: "Super Clutch" NBA Players (last year stats). Many players made clutch plays without their names being mentioned.

I think it has more to do with the exposure. 1)Lakers is the latest dynasty 2)Kobe play in LA 3)kobe's almost the only one to take last shot of lakers(as shaq cant hit FT) 4)Kobe also has hit few clutch shots late in the playoffs, the stage where players like Pierce and t-mac that never reached. I think all these factors helped Kobe's exposure and gave fans an impression that he is the most clutch player. However it may very well be a wrong impression.

One more point, I have seen more miss shots and turnovers than clutch shots (actually none) from kobe this year. I think it has to do with no one share his burden now. Kobe could coast 3 qtr of the game and the game was still close with shaq in the game, the privilege that T-mac never had. Kobe would have more engergy than any other players to expode at last few mins. Now u can only see the bricks and TO from kobe at the end of game.

 

I think alot of Kobe's clutch plays have come in the playoffs. As much as i dislike him (and i really do) its hard to argue that Kobe is not one of the top 3 or 4 most clutch players in the league right now (I put reggie miller at the top of that list).
