Most Clutch Player in the NBA
Who is the most clutch player in the NBA, statistically speaking? (If you're thinking Kobe Bryant, it's not even close).
This website analyzes just that, defining a "game-winning opportunity" as: 24 seconds or less left in the game, team with the ball is either tied or down by 1 to 2 points.
Why use this definition?
- With 24 seconds or less, then it truly is a "last possession" situation potentially
- With a margin from tied to down 2, the team can take the lead with a made basket (including 3's)
- By excluding a down 3 situation, we don't have the "gimme two point buckets" that defenses will sometimes yield to the quick bucket/intentional foul strategy option you often see exercised.
