Nowitzki earned that top spot by the end of that year with a title lol

1. KOBE 2. KOBE 3. KOBE 4. KOBE 5. DURANT ^ That's it. You don't need nothing else...

Kobe has 28 game winners in his career, which by far surpasses the rest, INCLUDING MJ. Lebron turned the ball over twice in the 4th of game 6, and once in ot. Im sorry, "clutch" players dont do that. Plus in all star game, he gave up the game winner on twice AND turned it over.

Dirk can't create??

Dirk can create his own shots from anywhere on the court! Are u blind Bayless! Whos manu? hes just the 3rd or 4th option on the team.

I think the finals proved Skip's statement at 2:05 wrong :D

1. Kobe 2. Pierce 3. Melo 4. Wade 5. Joe Johnson/Dirk

@mitchellspenser89 ?

Wade 1st

Dijani Brown is the most ignorant commenter on this video. Kobe has hit more clutch shots than anyone ib lesgue history im sorry your misguided.

As of the 2012 season i'll go with 5. Lebron (he finally did it in the finals) 4. Melo 3. Durant 2. Pierce 1. Kobe

1. Kevin Durant (Game winning shot against Dallas early in the season, game winning shot against dallas to win game 1 of the first round series right in shawn marions face) 2. Kobe Bryant ( self explanatory) 3. Carmelo Anthony (Hitting that three pointer to send the game against the bulls to overtime on easter, then hitting the game winning three pointer in overtime to force the win) 4. Derrick Rose ( Game winning floater against the lakers, game winning stepback jumper against the bucks)

5. kevin durant (great midrange jumper and has deep 3pt range and get his shot over most sf because of his height). 4/3.dwade (blazing quick which often leaves defenders no choice but to give him plenty of space for a good midrange jumper,which hes good at to avoid him from getting to the rim for a acrobatic layup). Cant really decide between dwade and dirk just gowna call it a tie. 3/4.Dirk nowitski (can stand in a single spot not move one inch and just raise up over literally any1 in the nba with a soft touch and the one legged fade to create enough space for jim to nail it). 2. Paul pierce ( not the fastest on the list but like dirk can create space as much if not more than any1 else on this list with his unstoppable step back jumper and can shoot while on the move and fading away). 1. joe johnson (i honestly dont know why the fuck hes doing it because he honestly is less talented than any1 else on this list but hey the numbers dont lie and the numbers say joe cool is 8-11 from the field in the last 1:30 of the game and 7-8 on shots in the last 20 seconds in recent years which is the best percentage with that quantity of shots EVER ). kobe? (sorry to say but kobe doesnt qualify for my list despite the fact that hes tied with paul pierce for the most buzzer beaters and GWs on this list he has a terrible percentage i mean any1 can hit 1000 clutch shots if they take 4,000 of them sorry kobe fans but his %in the clutch is in the 20s which is awful).

Is this serious? Kobe??!! 23% in Clutch time, that Kobe?? The only morons that agrees to Kobe being number 1 are people that only watch highlights

Joe Johnson is underrated, he is great in the clutch!

"Yaayyy"! This was uploaded on my B-Day! =P

this is from 3 years ago

He average 28 piont a game, 9 pass a game, 3.1 rebounds a game, he should be in one in the hall of fame and best point guard in the NBA

This video was posted in 2010...

Paul Pierce is for sure one of the clutchest players in the NBA. He is so underrated overall but being clutch... He is definately one of the best...

I never said he's NOT the best player in the league but I'm glad u admitted it.

perfect list

he is essentially given the ball at the end of every damn game. EVERY SINGLE ONE

Look at the upload date

Thanks a lot man, I agree with everything you just said.

Currently 1. Dirk - The man averaged 10 points per 4th Q on 50% shooting throughout the entire playoffs last year ... You can not say anyone else

Tony Parker's clutchness is underrated, IMO.

statistically (based on game winning shot percentage) the most clutch players in order are 1.carmelo anthony 52% on game winners 2.chris paul 41% on game winners 3.dirk nowitzski 36% on game winners 4.ray allen 35% on game winners 5.lebron james 31% on game winners. you have to go down to 7th to find kobe and all the way down to 11th to find durant

1) Brian Scalabrine 2) Brian Scalabrine 3) Brian Scalabrine 4) Brian Scalabrine 5) Brian Scalabrine's headband

You said he shot a lot of selfish shots when he's really the only one on that team with a consistent perimeter shooting game.

Joe Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, and Carmelo Anthony are the clutchest players today.

Most clutch on 2010? 1. Kobe 2. Wade 3. Pierce 4. Dirk 5. Ray Allen

Paul Pierce and Kobe are the most clutch in this league at this point, enough said.

Kobe, D-Wade, and Paul Pierce are the only ones who are absolute in the top 5 clutch players today

in 2010-11 5. Dirk Nowitzki 4. Manu Ginobili 3. Dwyane Wade 2. Carmelo Anthony 1. Kobe Bryant if you didnt watch the spurs play last season, manu actually made tons of clutch plays and i think the only reason he was in consideration for mvp that year was because of those plays

wow, you can tell this lists were made before this years playoffs

lol you make a valid point, the most unexpected clutch player ever

so right dude...the most clutch thing he does when they lose is pass...

yea i honestly do he's a closer and the playoffs speak for themselves

If they made there list after finals dirk would be one. He hit at least 5 game winning shots in the finals. And a lot of shots to bring his team back.

i see it next year or the year after they are a young team they never stepped on a finals stage i think they had to see how it feels now they are going to be on a misiion this year because they know how it feels

@damroll its not weird, its the obvious point that he can beat up on weaker teams but struggles against people and teams of the same calibur. Great point

This was made two years ago, plus it's at a point where Ray Allen doesn't even need to be clutch to make game winners since his stroke is just so perfect. He doesn't demand the ball in the clutch, it just ends up in his hands most of the time.

I swear Paul Pierce is sooo underrated.

Clutch is playing big and making plays when the pressure is on, whether it is scoring going 40 points 10 rebounds and 8 assists in key game,scoring 12-20 points in the 4th, hitting a game winning/game clinching shot, making a game clinching/game winning free throw,having 8 points 4 assists and 6 rebounds(3 offensive) in the 4th, making a key/game winning block/steal/assist,leading a team to a 2nd half comeback, putting a team away who is trying to make a run, making a series comeback.

i mean the finals was pretty much the team playing as a team. it was him FINALLY getting a supporting cast. im not even talking about the last two minutes of games either. im talkin bout wen ur really behind

so this guy Skip is seriously in love with D Wade

i think it should be 1.Kobe Bryant 2.Keven Durant 3.Paul Pierce 4.Dwayne Wade 5.Carmelo Anthony

why do they talk about other player but not derrick rose. he one of those young player that can run the ball, shoot it, and can pass it.

and yet he still made more then most other players did

Back before the media was trying to erase Kobe from history

For the ones that say y Kobe..... who did y'all pick for number 1???

imagine how this list has changed now!! 1. durant 2. kobe 3. wade 4. rose 5. pierce

Just a fun fact, according to 2K12, Dirk is the most offensively clutch player in the NBA. And Wade is the best overall (average of offense+defense) clutch. Durant and Nash are also put as clutch as Kobe.

thats just stats, Kobe is a guy who can down it when the game is on the line, he is passion personified, that guy has scored more buzzer beaters over the last few years.

First of all, nobody is ever forced to take the shots Kobe takes in the clutch, not even Kobe is forced to take those shots. He decides so on his own. Not all of em mind you. But 2-3 seconds on the clock is plenty of time to just shoot from 28. Second of all, guys like Melo and MJ, don't take wide open game winners, as you are implying, they take shots with just as much pressure, but make the shot EASIER for them by getting balanced and in rhythm, attributing to MUCH higher percentages.

He's 41st on the all time assist list and doesn't set up his teammates? Seems legit.

in terms of when the video was made. I'd say Kobe, Wade, Melo, Pierce, Dirk

I hate when people use stats to determined stuff like this. If you actually WATCH the games, you can tell what player is clutch and how clutch he is

agree with everything you said

Have you seen the buzzer beater vs rockets, okc, bucks? and many other hes easily one of the most clutch players in the nba, he can play defence, hes fast, he can finish and he cab pass. All around hes a top 5 clutch player

it doesn't matter how old he is, paul pierce is still on that list.

Ray Allen has bailed the Celtics out way more times than Pierce ever has.

Agreed!!!

Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, and Kobe.

This year: 5 Kevin Durant 4 Kobe Bryant 3 Rudy Gay 2 Kyrie Irving 1 Joe Johnson

Where's my boy J-Lin!?

@mitchellspenser89 Hes hit the most buzzer beaters and clutch shots of his time....

yeah the won game winner against orlando when they made that title run but that was like 3 years

clutch performers. 1.Carmelo Anthony 2.Kobe Bryant 3.Kevin Durant 4.Paul Pierce 5.Dirk Nowitzki

Lebron has definitely stepped up his clutch performances this season, he scored 17 straight points to catch miami up and win that game against new jersey, and the other night against the knicks he hit a big three pointer to take back the lead late in the 4th quarter

0:49-0:55 is describing Manu to a tee... did he not see what he did against Denver in December 2010? LOL

@imsljr420 what do you mean 38.5% in clutch shots? you mean like game winners? what does that mean? and how is shawn marion in your top 5. do you watch basketball? does dallas give it to him in crunch time?

i agree

wow thats my boy dw3

Boy did Dirk prove them wrong, oh so damn wrong. Warms my heart that one of the most underrated players proved all is critics wrong.

i agree 100 percent

Yeah that is true and I know it's Paul Pierce's team but I would like one of the greatest shooter's of all time to take the shot

i agree he hit that 3 vs cleveland to go to OT

this was also about 2 years ago

he was pretty clutch this year.

@RadicalRattleMusic I put Dwyane Wade as my number one. Kobe would probably be my second choice. 3 reasons I would put Wade above Kobe. First off, Wade's defense in clutch time is simply superb and his ability to actually get a good look as opposed to Kobe chucking up (although sometimes making) ridiculous deep 3s. Lastly, Wade isn't as good of a shooter as Kobe so I feel that he actually IMPROVES his game more than Kobe in the clutch. If that makes any sense.

I don't think the analyst really took that into consideration.. Kobe shoots 35% but he has made more clutch shots than anyone else currently playing in the NBA

look at the date the video was posted mate...

clutch doesnt always mean who can make the winning shot at the buzzer, it means who ever is the best player on the team, they have to step up in important games and put their teams in position to win them

#1 Kobe Bryant #2 Kevin Durant #3 Steve Nash #4 Carmelo Anthony #5 Kevin Love

yes

no when i said melo over bryant i was telling the other guy that was a bad decision. i would never disrespect the black mamba

New List: 1 Wade 2 Durant 3 Kobe 4 Lebron 5 Carmelo

Kobe's fg% in the clutch is 32.7%, whereas Durant is 41.1%.

That's what I want to know. It's the media that controls these kind of things anyways. If people hear guys from espn say he's clutch, they'll believe it no matter what

kobe,melo,paul perice, wade, dirk

or check basketball reference and you see him up there with Melo, Kobe, D-Wade and Pierce

i've only seen one shot by lebron that he made which truly won the game for his team

K send me a video with all of wades clutch shots this season

Henry Abbott has the clutch gene :-P

Kobe also started when he was 17.

You definitely gotta put Derrick Rose up there man, even though he's injured, he hit that game winning floater against the lakers this season, and he hit that step back game winning jumper in Milwaukee right in Brandon Jennings face

A gamewinning/tying shot is a shots made with 24 seconds or less on the clock. Kobe's failures in the 4th far outshines his fourth quarter comebacks

I'd be bold enough to say Kobe is above cp3 but that's a solid list
