you have no idea how happy it makes me that we gave B-roy some love. The man is one of the greatest nba tragedies of all time (one of many for my blazers). Before there was D-rose, there was B-Roy
Nice to see some Melo love. It's a pity he made such a terrible trade demand to get to New York, it would have been amazing to see what he could have done with a supporting cast (like we saw at the Olympics).
I do like the fact that you're bringing up Allen Iverson in the list because people overlook him and his accomplishments in the league and this shows how much of a threat he really was when it mattered most.
@@brock985 lol bro plz we got to the finals with AI and a bunch of bench players if he had real help like kobe or LeBron or Wade he definitely could have got a championship, they never put another star next to him to give him a chance to win a championship I mean what the hell do you expect every person they got was out of their prime by the time they came to the sixers he definitely could have won a championship if he would have had another star playing next to him in his prime.
@@brock985 Kobe never won a championship without Shaq or Paul gasol when he was by himself with that Lakers team he couldn't get s*** done he couldn't win, that's the truth, Dwyane Wade never would have won a championship without Shaq coming to Miami and when he formed a super team with LeBron and Bosh, Paul Pierce would have never had a championship if Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen never came to Boston so I mean what are you really trying to say @bronco he never won he did something no other player that I just mentioned could do being the only star/ offense weapon on the team he took them to the NBA championship.
8:52 I had no idea that this is virtually the same shot that Dame hit in the playoffs that basically birthed “Dame Time”. Same team and everything. That’s pretty cool,
Not more than Lebron, KD, Curry, Giannis, Embiid, Doncic, Tatum or Booker. Iverson wouldn’t even be better than Kyrie or Ja, Kyrie handles, lay up package, midrange and 3pts are way better than Iverson, and Ja atheticism, handles and lay up package are better. Players todays are better, they took what Iverson, MJ, Magic, Bird, Kobe, T-Mac ect skills and moves, mastered them and added their own skills. You look at a guy like Embiid, the guy is 7ft+ 300pounds and shoot 50% from midrange, has Kobe footwork and Hakeem post moves and tween hezi pull up jumpshot like a guard, same for KD, you can’t tell me 5´10 Iverson would score more than them, and if he would, his efficiency would be horrible just like his career efficiency, the guy won a scoring title shooting under 40% lol.

@@jonnyarnett I posted a top level comment with some stats gathered by some individuals or websites looking at clutch play as defined as final 5 minutes of a game within 5 pts. One looked at all games (regular and playoffs) for select years and it's interesting to see how erratic the stats are year to year. Neither Lebron or Kobe seem to be near the top in most seasons but Carmelo Anthony popped up as near the top a few times which surprised me. another looked at playoff runs by Jordan 1990-1993 and 1995-1998 vs a playoff run of Kobe 2006-2009 and Lebron 2009-13 (minus 2011 because they were bias towards Lebron and 2011 was a bad playoff). Jordan 1990-1993 was way better than his 1995-1998 and yet 1995-1998 was way better than Lebron's and Kobes. Not sure how reliable the older data is but it comes from RealGM post Dipper 13 who seems popular in those circles for going back and manually counting stats before the nba kept those stats. Probably why he limits Jordan's stat comparisons to the playoffs so he doesn't have to look through 100 games a season.
What wins the clutch awards in the 2000s for me, was my Toyota car... That thing have a clutch so smooth that I could gear shift without feeling grind at all!
Yea but that might be a little Myopic. Think anoht how much home court can matter in the playoffs. Think about how much making the playoffs matters lol! I remember watching every wizards game during the wall and Beal run and there were tons of differences between their good and bad team seaons, but a huge reason why 2017 was so good was because wall and Beal consistently closed out games during the regular season, which allowed them home court in the playoffs; and they went 6-0 at home during those playoffs which is what allowed them to be within 1 game of the ECF. They went 1-6 in road games. So without those dozens of games clutch play from wall and Beal led to wins during the regular season; they don’t end up with home court in the playoffs( and they ended up as the 4 seed, so just a few less clutch winning plays during the regular season could have been the differnce between getting swept in the playoffs or making it to game 7 of the conference semis). I understand this is such a weird anecdote, who cares about the wizards? But I think it works.
People forget that in in the early 2000s Allen Iverson was really like the man back then like he was the face of the league there for like a good four or five years.
The 2000s was loaded. Shaq, Dirk, Kobe, Tim, Paul Pierce, LeBron, Carmelo, Bosh, Wade, Iverson, Ray Allen, Garnett, Nash, Kidd… Like damn man, thinking about it… Loaded af.

@@kbak1919 If he's so horrible, why nobody has more than him?😜 Because nobody was able to do it😊 Kobe was a winner and a Dog . 5 Titles, 12 all Defense Teams- 9 times First( Most all time) Again: a winner!

@@hashmoncrief6965 dont really think about him that much lol, just annnoying when people try to make kobe seem way better than what he actually was. Yes he wasnt afraid to take the last shot, but again he attempted horrible shots that made his team lose more games than they should have.
I really like this reward. It finally gives validity to players that are actually clutch and rewards the clutch players who often get overlooked. It also disproves casual "hot takes" when fans determine who's clutch or not.

I didn't see nobody who won at least two of the award, which I don't know if it was because nobody was consistently clutch for two seasons or because you felt like you couldn't do that because people would say there was bias but honestly, I think I speak for not only myself but a lot of people when I say that Kobe Bryant was a really, really clutch player in moments where it was absolutely necessary to be clutch, so, maybe in the 2010's he could get another one, but he definitely deserved more accolades, and this one could really fit In his resume
Reddit post that was referencing a post from RealGm post Dipper13 stated the following in comparing PLAYOFFS of Jordan's 1990-1992 to Kobe 2006-09 to Lebron's 2009-13 (though for SOME reason they say 2011 playoffs where Leberon played bad aren't included).

Without Lebron's 2011 dismal post season included, it looks like Kobe and Lebron are close and both way behind Jordan. Original stats were Per 48 minutes stats in clutch time. here there are: Jordan: 73.7pts 62.5%fg 40%3pt 82.8%ft 5.3stl 0.97blk 9.7reb 4.8ast 3.4 t/o Kobe: 47.6pts 45.2% 26.7%3pt 85.4% 1.5stl 0blk 6reb 5.2ast 1.9 t/o Lebron: 46.2pts 44.8%3pt 77.6%ft 2.1stl 1.1lblk 13.5reb 7.8ast 6.0 t/o And they also measured old man Jordan's clutch in 1995-1998, his short season comback year and the 3 championship years.

Great video as always.💪 One question though. Does the clutch award only refer to a players offensive performance in the clutch or does defense count as well?
@@user-rj3pt1qm7k Kobe hit 28 game winners on a 30%+ clutch %. LeBron is far far worse shooting 20% in the clutch 19/93, 9/25 (35%) in the playoffs and 0/7 in the finals
@@user-rj3pt1qm7k Clutch shots with a 1min or less to tie or to win the game LeBron is 19/93 (20%) Kobe is in the upper 30s% with 28 game winners. Kobe is more clutch than Bron. He hit more buzzer beaters, and more game winners over his career on a better clutch%.. LBJ at the end of games either turns the ball over (2014 and 2011 Finals) or misses a horrible shot the majority of the time, try again
So I was able to find some clutch stats. According to 82games website, they tracked "game winning shots" from 2003-2009. They defined it as 24s or less and tie to down 2. Lebron was 34% 17-50 with 6 ast and 4 turnover. Vince was 16-51 31.4% 3 ast 4 turnover. Ray Allen 15-39 38.5% 1 ast 2 t/o. *CARMELO was 13-27 48.1% * 1ast 4 t/o. Iverson was 13-33 39.4% 1 ast 2 t/o. League avg was 29.8%. KOBE was 14-56 for 25% 1 ast 5 t/o. So with 30% being the average fg%, Lebron was above average 34%, Carmelo was super clutch at 48%, Ray Allen and Tim Duncan and Iverson were very clutch around 39%, Dirk and Vince Carter and Gilbert Arenas were around average 28-32%, and Kobe was well below average at 25%!!! Nobody shot worse than Kobe among the top 30 raned by shots made (so no one who took 7 or more shot below 25%). But 82 games also looked at "4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points" for 2 seasons in 2008 and 2011. In 2008, Kobe was tops in pts per 48 minutes in 'clutch time' with 56.7pts per 48 and shot 45% but Lebron was 55.9pts and shot 55.6%. Carmelo was 54.4% and shot 56.5%. In 2011, Kyrie Irving was tops with 53.5pts per 48 and shot 54%. Lebron was way off with 40.4pts and 45%fg% and Kobe was 39.1pts and 36% so even worse.than Lebron who didn't have a good clutch year. Other notables...Carmelo again 2nd in pts with 46.1pts and shot 45.6%. Durant was off with 45.pts but 37%. Paul Pierce 38.3pts with a hot 51%.
82 games also did the 'clutch stats' for final 5 minutes and OT for last year, 2021-22 season. Here are the top scorers than some other notable players: 1 DeRozan 44.9pts per 36min and shot 54.5% Great clutch year. 2 Morant 40.3pts 42% 3 Embid 39.5pts 47% 4 Young 37.7pts 40% 5 Jokic 37.7 50% 6 Booker 35.6pts 57% 7 Durant 35.2pts 42% 11 Luka 31.5pts 48% 14 Giannis 30.8pts 51% 17 Curry 28.6pts 36% 19 Kyrie Irving 27.6pts 35.5% 22 Lebron James 26.6pts 38.5% Surprising how low on both pts and fg% that Curry, Kyrie and Lebron played last year. I looked at Curry, Kyrie and Lebron for 2020-21 season and here they are: 3 Curry 42.1pts 43% 12 Irving 34.9pts 48% 17 James 33.5pts 46% For 2019-2020 Curry didn't play any clutch minutes or didn't qualify (he only played 5 games) 5 Irving 38.8pts 35% 41 Lebron 23.9pts 35% My takeaway is that Lebron hasn't been clutch the past few years and was above average clutch before the lakers. Kyrie has great clutch years followed by a drop.
Jo totally left out Dirk who Hand the best FG percentage in clutch situations throughout this decade. He should at least get it for his playoff run in 2011 alone.
Clutch is difficult to assess because so many people have different definitions of clutch. Some count buzzer beaters, some last 2 mins, others last 5 mins etc. Personally, I prefer the last 5 mins (of the fourth quarter, then adding the mins in OT if the game goes to OT) because it offers more context to a players impact in the most crucial moment of the game. Averaging the most points in the 4th quarter is useless when in the last 5 mins, a player starts choking, missing free throws and all that. The clutch player is always the one that makes the points that changes the tide of the game in the last few minutes of the game. More importantly, it shouldn't matter if a team is slightly down or slightly ahead to determine "clutch". Protecting a slim lead is just as important as tying or taking the lead. And this is where I find the stats of "the player who had the most shots to tie or take the lead in the last minute of the game" misleading. What about the player who made the crucial baskets to prevent the other team from tying or taking the lead? Case in point, Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Shaq fouls out, the Pacers have a chance to take the lead and tie the series. But Kobe made crucial baske after crucial basket to keep the Lakers ahead. That's one of the most clutch performances in Finals history. But because the Lakers were ahead for the most part, it somehow doesn't count because people only look at the person who ties the game or takes the lead. And that's a huge limitation when looking at what analysts consider as clutch stats.
Great award, good video, sadly I don't agree at all with HOW you picked the players. 4th quarter scoring is hardly the only metric I would take into account. What about 4th quarter blocks or steals? A stop in the last minute is just as important than a bucket and something even more. Also, why not use "close and late" stats, I mean 20 point in the last querter in a blowout is meaningless right?
I agree in the sense that it doesn't tell you the WHOLE story, but in a case like Roy's, his scoring went up, and his efficiency went up all around. Thats still gotta count for something
Player shouldn’t get awards they didn’t deserve. Kobe earned his the same as everyone else. They not taking away Kobe’s, and we not gone take away from others.
Hey Johnny you did an amazing job on this video please do every decade including the 50’s if you can. I like videos that give content and not just bias as most people on these sports shows do. I agree with your choices I may have to look at them again to see if I would make any changes. Other than that great video I watch all your videos keep this series going
06 i considier a tie with Kobe and Melo...without looking at the stats they were even on the eye test...matter fact both of them hit game winners on each other that season both games happening in Denver.
Man I'm so behind in the NBA when they unveil a new award already. There is a bunch of awards created in short span of the year. What's next, the world greatest Basketball player similar to Ballon d'Or where anybody in the world can win it (though it's mostly in the NBA)
I don't even understand the soccer/football award. Why has it changed names 3 times in the past 10 or so years? They each have their own wikipedia page suggesting to me that it's not just a rename but some bigger change possibly who is eligible or who votes.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Yeah me neither. I think there is like some kind of partnership between Fifa and the European club league during the merger and once their partnership is over, they revert back their names. But don't take my word for it, I'm still new to the whole soccer/football world
I'm not going to remember the specific years that players came up clutch but I do remember players who generally played very clutch. I'd say in my lifetime, there were 3 players that appeared to be the most clutch -- Bird, Jordan and Kobe. Jordan is easily tops, with Bird 2nd and Kobe 3rd. One notable player that was very clutch for his actually talent was Reggie Miller. Stat wise, he was probably around 10th best player in the league during his peak but he was often only behind Jordan in terms of clutch. Lebron went from mix clutch through age 27 (one season he might be very clutch but next season he might average and even tank in a playoff series) or so to one the biggest consistent clutch player in the league when he 30-34 with Cleveland the second time around.
@@ktapreswreckd921v9 NBA website has those clutch stats going back to 96-97 season. I looked up playoff clutch stats for Miller and Jordan. Per 36 minutes, below are year by year 1997-2001.

@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Miller showed that he had the clutch gene time and time again by hitting big shots in crucial situations. But he was obviously lacking as a complete scorer like Michael,Bird and the late Bryant. As well as other things.
I feel like Kobe got doubled and tripled much more than the players in this list... How would that affect this list if putting that into consideration?
i guess they started this whole new trend with calling the new awards for best playoff player prior to the finals for bird in the east and magic in the west.... but bird should be the clutch award as well....
I'm a bit surprised they let West be the logo and the award name. Feels like maybe they could have spread the love, but I get that "clutch" goes with West and that it would be displeasing to many for them to switch up the logo just to get another player some limelight. Still...
You should've included the parameter that the NBA wouldn't give the Clutch player award to the MVP other than that if they simply can not explain otherwise. That is how the NBA acted way back, like giving the MVP to malone in 97.
I don't love this trophy bc it just exemplifies everything I hate about accolades, plus being clutch isn't just being good in the 4q it's showing up in the important games so it's weird that this is a regular season award
The fact that the most clutch moment in living memory was LeBron’s chase down block in the ‘16 finals shows that only looking at offence is only half the story.
Kyrie's shot was the most clutch moment because without Kyrie's shot, that block wouldve been 'just an incredible block on an important moment' in a loss. The fact that Kyrie hit that shot and they won makes the block iconic. Kawhi's shot vs the 76'ers was actually the most clutch moment, because it was the first game 7 game winner in NBA history, showing how unlikely it is to hit such a shot with all that pressure. However, it wasnt in the finals, so I'd put Kyrie's ahead. Lebrons block IMO is third. Kawhi's 3 with a block on Harden on the next possession 4th. As for 'most clutch performance in the 4th' as for the last 5 mins of a game, I don't know which was the clutchest.
If Lebron wasn't so famous or if the opposing team wasn't the 73 win Warriors, it wouldn't be as popular. Still a great clutch play on defense which these metrics miss but I think it's maybe 3rd behind what Lonny Breaux said...Kyrie's shot earlier and Kawhi's amazing shot against the 76ers. Maybe even 4th behind Ray Allen's miracle 3pt shot against the Spurs but that was more a sequence of events.

You look at a guy like Embiid, the guy is 7ft+ 300pounds and shoot 50% from midrange, has Kobe footwork and Hakeem post moves and tween hezi pull up jumpshot like a guard, same for KD, you can’t tell me 5´10 Iverson would score more than them, and if he would, his efficiency would be horrible just like his career efficiency, the guy won a scoring title shooting under 40% lol.

They should make a Wilt Chamberlain scoring title award.
Extremely unlikely they named rookie of the year after him though
@@andrewmays8990 i didn’t know that. It’s fitting
MJ has the most scoring titles in NBA History and is the GOAT scorer. Its more fitting towards him
@@FrokuBabayythey already named the MVP award after him, and MJ never scored 70 in a game, Wilt did 6 times lol. Not necessarily arguing since it’s a total lock that Wilt and Jordan are top 2 scorers and nobody else is remotely close but there’s at least a debate to be had there.
@@skolcole Wilt played in an era with inflated stats and milkmen who didn't even play the game full time, try again.
MJ has the highest scoring average in NBA History both regular season and playoffs. Most scoring titles in NBA History (10), averaged 40ppg in a series 7 times, and averaged 30ppg for 8 straight seasons hes by far the greatest scorer of All-Time its not even close
You make incredible content, Jonny. This is so insightful. Where do you like to get your stats?

@@jonnyarnett I posted a top level comment with some stats gathered by some individuals or websites looking at clutch play as defined as final 5 minutes of a game within 5 pts. One looked at all games (regular and playoffs) for select years and it's interesting to see how erratic the stats are year to year. Neither Lebron or Kobe seem to be near the top in most seasons but Carmelo Anthony popped up as near the top a few times which surprised me. another looked at playoff runs by Jordan 1990-1993 and 1995-1998 vs a playoff run of Kobe 2006-2009 and Lebron 2009-13 (minus 2011 because they were bias towards Lebron and 2011 was a bad playoff). Jordan 1990-1993 was way better than his 1995-1998 and yet 1995-1998 was way better than Lebron's and Kobes. Not sure how reliable the older data is but it comes from RealGM post Dipper 13 who seems popular in those circles for going back and manually counting stats before the nba kept those stats. Probably why he limits Jordan's stat comparisons to the playoffs so he doesn't have to look through 100 games a season.
You have many incredible videos. Many, many, many of them... Well, I think that this is the best one. I absolutely love it

What wins the clutch awards in the 2000s for me, was my Toyota car... That thing have a clutch so smooth that I could gear shift without feeling grind at all!
I think this is a cool idea for an award for the NBA season!
This brought back memories
Great video!
Imo this award should be for the playoffs because that’s were clutch plays really matter the most
Yea but that might be a little
Myopic. Think anoht how much home court can matter in the playoffs. Think about how much making the playoffs matters lol! I remember watching every wizards game during the wall and Beal run and there were tons of differences between their good and bad team seaons, but a huge reason why 2017 was so good was because wall and Beal consistently closed out games during the regular season, which allowed them home court in the playoffs; and they went 6-0 at home during those playoffs which is what allowed them to be within 1 game of the ECF. They went 1-6 in road games. So without those dozens of games clutch play from wall and Beal led to wins during the regular season; they don’t end up with home court in the playoffs( and they ended up as the 4 seed, so just a few less clutch winning plays during the regular season could have been the differnce between getting swept in the playoffs or making it to game 7 of the conference semis). I understand this is such a weird anecdote, who cares about the wizards? But I think it works.
How about a regular season and a Playoffs clutch awards?
Fantastic video! Jonny never disappoints. 🔥🐐
People forget that in in the early 2000s Allen Iverson was really like the man back then like he was the face of the league there for like a good four or five years.

@@hashmoncrief6965 dont really think about him that much lol, just annnoying when people try to make kobe seem way better than what he actually was. Yes he wasnt afraid to take the last shot, but again he attempted horrible shots that made his team lose more games than they should have.
I need 2010's and 1990's of this.
Crazy Wade name ain’t get mentioned one time in the video although I agree with the list
I really like this reward. It finally gives validity to players that are actually clutch and rewards the clutch players who often get overlooked. It also disproves casual "hot takes" when fans determine who's clutch or not.
My favorite decade of basketball
Did Kobe really stat pad in 2005 though? He did have an awful supporting cast but any real examples of when he stat padded that season?

I didn't see nobody who won at least two of the award, which I don't know if it was because nobody was consistently clutch for two seasons or because you felt like you couldn't do that because people would say there was bias
but honestly, I think I speak for not only myself but a lot of people when I say that Kobe Bryant was a really, really clutch player in moments where it was absolutely necessary to be clutch, so, maybe in the 2010's he could get another one, but he definitely deserved more accolades, and this one could really fit In his resume
Reddit post that was referencing a post from RealGm post Dipper13 stated the following in comparing PLAYOFFS of Jordan's 1990-1992 to Kobe 2006-09 to Lebron's 2009-13 (though for SOME reason they say 2011 playoffs where Leberon played bad aren't included). Clutch time is defined as "4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points"
Per 36 minutes stats in clutch time:
Jordan 55.3pts 62.5%fg 4.0stl 0.73blk 7.3reb 3.6ast 2.6 t/o 40%3pt 82.8%ft
Kobe: 35.7pts 45.2%fg 1.1stl 0blk 4.5reb 3.9ast 1.4 t/o 26.7%3pt 85.4%
Lebron: 34.7pts 46.2%fg 1.6stl 0.83blk 10.1reb 5.9ast 4.5 t/o 44.8%3pt 77.6%ft
As a reference, Jordan's stats are for a total of 24 games that had clutch time in the playoffs over 3 playoffs 1990-1992 for a total of 99 minutes. Without Lebron's 2011 dismal post season included, it looks like Kobe and Lebron are close and both way behind Jordan.
Original stats were Per 48 minutes stats in clutch time. here there are:
Jordan: 73.7pts 62.5%fg 40%3pt 82.8%ft 5.3stl 0.97blk 9.7reb 4.8ast 3.4 t/o
Kobe: 47.6pts 45.2% 26.7%3pt 85.4% 1.5stl 0blk 6reb 5.2ast 1.9 t/o
Lebron: 46.2pts 44.8%3pt 77.6%ft 2.1stl 1.1lblk 13.5reb 7.8ast 6.0 t/o
And they also measured old man Jordan's clutch in 1995-1998, his short season comback year and the 3 championship years. Here there are per 36 minutes:
Jordan: 45.8pts 52% fg 2.9stl 1.1blk 5.9reb 3.6 ast 2.5 t/o 25% 3pt 83%ft
This was 97 games with 408 minutes in clutch playoff time for Jordan. His last 3.5yrs were still considerably better than Kobe and Lebron. Though it would be nice to compare to all of Kobe's and all of Lebron's career.
Do the 2010's next
You should do if The NBA counted block shots and steals earlier
This 👌

I really likes the way his favorite player is Kobe and he always talk about his flaw.
Great video as always.💪
One question though. Does the clutch award only refer to a players offensive performance in the clutch or does defense count as well?
NOT a great video...when he shows players that arent even in TOP 30 clutch players.
SHOOTING a lot doesnt mean he was clutch...
@@onlyfacts3178 who are you talking about?
@@user-rj3pt1qm7k Kobe hit 28 game winners on a 30%+ clutch %. LeBron is far far worse shooting 20% in the clutch 19/93, 9/25 (35%) in the playoffs and 0/7 in the finals
@@user-rj3pt1qm7k Clutch shots with a 1min or less to tie or to win the game LeBron is 19/93 (20%) Kobe is in the upper 30s% with 28 game winners. Kobe is more clutch than Bron. He hit more buzzer beaters, and more game winners over his career on a better clutch%.. LBJ at the end of games either turns the ball over (2014 and 2011 Finals) or misses a horrible shot the majority of the time, try again
So I was able to find some clutch stats. According to 82games website, they tracked "game winning shots" from 2003-2009. They defined it as 24s or less and tie to down 2. Lebron was 34% 17-50 with 6 ast and 4 turnover. Vince was 16-51 31.4% 3 ast 4 turnover. Ray Allen 15-39 38.5% 1 ast 2 t/o. *CARMELO was 13-27 48.1% * 1ast 4 t/o. Iverson was 13-33 39.4% 1 ast 2 t/o. League avg was 29.8%. KOBE was 14-56 for 25% 1 ast 5 t/o.
So with 30% being the average fg%, Lebron was above average 34%, Carmelo was super clutch at 48%, Ray Allen and Tim Duncan and Iverson were very clutch around 39%, Dirk and Vince Carter and Gilbert Arenas were around average 28-32%, and Kobe was well below average at 25%!!! Nobody shot worse than Kobe among the top 30 raned by shots made (so no one who took 7 or more shot below 25%).
But 82 games also looked at "4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points" for 2 seasons in 2008 and 2011. In 2008, Kobe was tops in pts per 48 minutes in 'clutch time' with 56.7pts per 48 and shot 45% but Lebron was 55.9pts and shot 55.6%. Carmelo was 54.4% and shot 56.5%. In 2011, Kyrie Irving was tops with 53.5pts per 48 and shot 54%. Lebron was way off with 40.4pts and 45%fg% and Kobe was 39.1pts and 36% so even worse.than Lebron who didn't have a good clutch year. Other notables...Carmelo again 2nd in pts with 46.1pts and shot 45.6%. Durant was off with 45.pts but 37%. Paul Pierce 38.3pts with a hot 51%.
82 games also did the 'clutch stats' for final 5 minutes and OT for last year, 2021-22 season. Here are the top scorers than some other notable players:
1 DeRozan 44.9pts per 36min and shot 54.5% Great clutch year.
2 Morant 40.3pts 42%
3 Embid 39.5pts 47%
4 Young 37.7pts 40%
5 Jokic 37.7 50%
6 Booker 35.6pts 57%
7 Durant 35.2pts 42%
11 Luka 31.5pts 48%
14 Giannis 30.8pts 51%
17 Curry 28.6pts 36%
19 Kyrie Irving 27.6pts 35.5%
22 Lebron James 26.6pts 38.5%
Surprising how low on both pts and fg% that Curry, Kyrie and Lebron played last year. I looked at Curry, Kyrie and Lebron for 2020-21 season and here they are:
3 Curry 42.1pts 43%
12 Irving 34.9pts 48%
17 James 33.5pts 46%
For 2019-2020
Curry didn't play any clutch minutes or didn't qualify (he only played 5 games)
5 Irving 38.8pts 35%
41 Lebron 23.9pts 35%
My takeaway is that Lebron hasn't been clutch the past few years and was above average clutch before the lakers. Kyrie has great clutch years followed by a drop.
Jo totally left out Dirk who Hand the best FG percentage in clutch situations throughout this decade. He should at least get it for his playoff run in 2011 alone.
Man... Brandon Roy was a bad man
Nice 👍
Clutch is difficult to assess because so many people have different definitions of clutch. Some count buzzer beaters, some last 2 mins, others last 5 mins etc. Personally, I prefer the last 5 mins (of the fourth quarter, then adding the mins in OT if the game goes to OT) because it offers more context to a players impact in the most crucial moment of the game. Averaging the most points in the 4th quarter is useless when in the last 5 mins, a player starts choking, missing free throws and all that. The clutch player is always the one that makes the points that changes the tide of the game in the last few minutes of the game.
More importantly, it shouldn't matter if a team is slightly down or slightly ahead to determine "clutch". Protecting a slim lead is just as important as tying or taking the lead. And this is where I find the stats of "the player who had the most shots to tie or take the lead in the last minute of the game" misleading. What about the player who made the crucial baskets to prevent the other team from tying or taking the lead? Case in point, Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Shaq fouls out, the Pacers have a chance to take the lead and tie the series. But Kobe made crucial baske after crucial basket to keep the Lakers ahead. That's one of the most clutch performances in Finals history. But because the Lakers were ahead for the most part, it somehow doesn't count because people only look at the person who ties the game or takes the lead. And that's a huge limitation when looking at what analysts consider as clutch stats.
It’s a shame because this is something else that would be added to Derrick Rose’s legacy in his mvp season too
Great award, good video, sadly I don't agree at all with HOW you picked the players. 4th quarter scoring is hardly the only metric I would take into account. What about 4th quarter blocks or steals? A stop in the last minute is just as important than a bucket and something even more.
Also, why not use "close and late" stats, I mean 20 point in the last querter in a blowout is meaningless right?
I agree in the sense that it doesn't tell you the WHOLE story, but in a case like Roy's, his scoring went up, and his efficiency went up all around. Thats still gotta count for something
Do this with all the decades
Nice concept and good arguments, but I need to give more awards to Kobe. He's too good.

Man I'm so behind in the NBA when they unveil a new award already. There is a bunch of awards created in short span of the year. What's next, the world greatest Basketball player similar to Ballon d'Or where anybody in the world can win it (though it's mostly in the NBA)
I don't even understand the soccer/football award. Why has it changed names 3 times in the past 10 or so years? They each have their own wikipedia page suggesting to me that it's not just a rename but some bigger change possibly who is eligible or who votes.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Yeah me neither. I think there is like some kind of partnership between Fifa and the European club league during the merger and once their partnership is over, they revert back their names. But don't take my word for it, I'm still new to the whole soccer/football world
Dame is up there!
I'm not going to remember the specific years that players came up clutch but I do remember players who generally played very clutch. I'd say in my lifetime, there were 3 players that appeared to be the most clutch -- Bird, Jordan and Kobe. Jordan is easily tops, with Bird 2nd and Kobe 3rd. One notable player that was very clutch for his actually talent was Reggie Miller. Stat wise, he was probably around 10th best player in the league during his peak but he was often only behind Jordan in terms of clutch.
Lebron went from mix clutch through age 27 (one season he might be very clutch but next season he might average and even tank in a playoff series) or so to one the biggest consistent clutch player in the league when he 30-34 with Cleveland the second time around.
I agree with you!
Just one issue. Miller definitely had the clutch gene. But he was never one of the best players in the league.

Do a series
I want to see a documentary on why the Blazers and Rockets hate each other. They have so much history.
Yep me to
Does this include playoffs
i guess they started this whole new trend with calling the new awards for best playoff player prior to the finals for bird in the east and magic in the west.... but bird should be the clutch award as well....
I'm a bit surprised they let West be the logo and the award name. Feels like maybe they could have spread the love, but I get that "clutch" goes with West and that it would be displeasing to many for them to switch up the logo just to get another player some limelight. Still...
It’s tmac for me I always took over with less than 2 mins left he defined that narrative
Every time I see the intro I always think to myself. (Kobe) ugh, you BAN, those ankles belong to me.
Honestly thought Billups would be in there. I'm a massive Billups fan.
I really liked him too and considered him. If postseason performances were taken into consideration, then he definitely would have been in there
Missed Ray Allen on the list is quite surprise 🤨
You should've included the parameter that the NBA wouldn't give the Clutch player award to the MVP other than that if they simply can not explain otherwise. That is how the NBA acted way back, like giving the MVP to malone in 97.
The funniest part about the award is that the trophy isn't his iconic moment that's the logo lmao, they still not paying him his royalties😭😭
It should be when he shot a half court shot against the Knicks in the finals
The LeBron take is a great way to combat Skip Bayless who says that Bron doesn’t have the clutch gene.
JONNY ARNETT COME ON….CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON DREAM TEAM 2 (94 FIBA TEAM). LIKE COME ON!
👏🏾
I don't love this trophy bc it just exemplifies everything I hate about accolades, plus being clutch isn't just being good in the 4q it's showing up in the important games so it's weird that this is a regular season award
The fact that the most clutch moment in living memory was LeBron’s chase down block in the ‘16 finals shows that only looking at offence is only half the story.
But it isnt LMAO only lebron dik riders think so. The giannis block was crazier
Exactly why this shouldn't be an award
Kyrie's shot was the most clutch moment because without Kyrie's shot, that block wouldve been 'just an incredible block on an important moment' in a loss. The fact that Kyrie hit that shot and they won makes the block iconic.
Kawhi's shot vs the 76'ers was actually the most clutch moment, because it was the first game 7 game winner in NBA history, showing how unlikely it is to hit such a shot with all that pressure. However, it wasnt in the finals, so I'd put Kyrie's ahead.
Lebrons block IMO is third. Kawhi's 3 with a block on Harden on the next possession 4th.
As for 'most clutch performance in the 4th' as for the last 5 mins of a game, I don't know which was the clutchest.
If Lebron wasn't so famous or if the opposing team wasn't the 73 win Warriors, it wouldn't be as popular. Still a great clutch play on defense which these metrics miss but I think it's maybe 3rd behind what Lonny Breaux said...Kyrie's shot earlier and Kawhi's amazing shot against the 76ers. Maybe even 4th behind Ray Allen's miracle 3pt shot against the Spurs but that was more a sequence of events.
Well said.
Need the 2010s
this funny., for me it's between Iverson and Kobe but my favorite player is Tracy which I'm not taking😁
Why honor Jerry West with this award, when he already has the actual logo of the league designed after him? Why not Bird, or Kobe, or Reggie?
Was Brandon Roy 2000s or 2010s
I struggle to understand the sense of giving a clutch award for the regular season other than social media algorithms
