How the fuck is russell clutch enough to be listed? where are you and darko getting this from?

Not clutch

He never lost a 7th game of playoffs and finals.10-0,played his best in those games and raised defense to a whole new level.Heck,Jordan lost 3 years in a row from the Pistons.Magic was dubbed as tragic until he lead Showtime LA to title.

Magic led the Lakers to a title his first year in the league WTF are you talking about?

Magic was dubbed "Tragic" by Kevin McHale to describe Johnson's pissed of mood after losing to the Celtics in the 1984 Finals.

He then beat the Celtics the next year on their home-court in game six

Magic is clutch,but that year he was dubbed as Tragic....



that's what i'm saying

Yes he was but who cares,he's a beast arguably the G.O.A.T.

really? defeneded... really?

Good job, you found ONE video of him getting an open look. My turn.


Two clutch threes in one game. The first one was the best possible man to man defense you can play, and the second was great inbound defense and a man in his face


More amazing defense. You can't ask more from Dwyane Wade there


Great defense on Kobe up the court and Bell had a hand in his face when the shot went up


Good perimeter defense and you had two players contesting the shot


Denver was a bit confused in the beginning, but had two guys contesting Kobe's shot


Perimeter defense was alright and a hand in his face on the shot


Perimeter defender got lost but Dirk still got a hand up in Kobe's face


Defender jumped early but recovered and still went up with Kobe


Same as above


Got past two perimeter defenders, kept control with one man swiping at the ball, and finished over another


Good help defense along with pretty good perimeter defense and Kobe finished over two guys


Over two people, in the playoffs

These are just gamewinners. There are most likely countless more videos of gamewinner along with clutch shots late in the game to either put the game away or give the Lakers the lead.

Snow:
It looks like he traveled, is out of bounds, and pushed off his defender. lol.

Amazing shot and all, but weird.

*Waits for Snow's comeback
**Realizes he won't have a good comeback
***Leaves just like he arrived (i.e not answering the thread)

my improved list
----------------------
1.micheal jordan:
since he started in the nba,he was the one taking the last shot,and that a big responsibility.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsI8t7H4V9o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-gdWdj_TEM&feature=related
and he sucseeds,but thats not even close to the complete list..

2.jerry wast:
He is called mr.clutch and he eraned that name by showing how clutch he really was
by plays like stealing the ball and dropping a 30 footer or making a 60 foot jumper..
he prved it everybody why they call him mr.clutch

3.kobe bryant:
People dont want to give him the credit he deserves,but the truth is he is clutch,no one has drained more clutch shots than him..he could be argued as one yet some ppl put him like 8-9th..so he deserve number 3 imo.

4. reggie miller:
he is known as the greatest scorer ever...and he is known for knoking down shots for anywhere on the court,he has proved ver and over how clutch he is,he scored points in 8.9 secs.

5.larry bird:
he is very underated when it comes to clutch..im going to let you decide..read the following and than tell me if hes clutch

One of Larry's most clutch performances,Late in a tied game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Bird told Supersonics forward Xavier McDaniel, who was guarding him, exactly where he would hit the game winning shot. After a timeout, Bird made two baseline cuts, then posted in the exact spot he had indicated to McDaniel, paused, turned, and hit the shot in his face.
^^^^^
that sums up his clutchness

and that is my list..i know people will not agree with kobe at 3 im sticking with it but feel free to argue..

LMAO Bird was badass!

Also,Kobe has drained the most game winning shots but I think he has also tooken the most?


I think i already answered this thread..

Reggie Miller is the greatest 3-point shooter you mean?

West is freakin clutch too.

for reggie i did mean 3 point,

kobe has taken the most clutch shots but that dont mean hes not clutch,i put kobe 3rd,and if he repeats a season like last year i would put him number 2,i mean it..

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Dirk Nowitzki
3. Steve Nash
4. Jamal Crawford
5. Dwyane Wade

HM: Joe Johnson, SUNDIATA GAINES!! lol jk, Manu Ginobili, Durant, a lot more.

you must be stupid..one video where he is not defended..

Kobe is WAY more defended in the clutch than horry or reggie..

Horry plays with dam all stars and never gets the attention so get wideopen looks...most overated in the clutchness factor ever!

Horry highest percentage of FG under 10 seconds. Fisher and Kerr played with all stars too, so I don't see your point
