EXACTLY. it's a shit comparison to begin with cause what if MJs last 2 seasons were his worst or something? But even then he outperformed em all lol straight up 🐐
But what if I need a 3 pointer to tie or go ahead? xD Such a poetless stats without context, Both Kobe and MJ are much more clutch players than Lebron and I would prefer Kobe over MJ to take the last shot for my game
Roy Mark Ariosa It’s not, it’s most likely 93 or 92. In 93 the last 5 minutes score within 5 points he went 11-23 47.8% for 30 points. That’s not even counting the other 7 minutes in 6 games in those 4th quarters. That’s a total of 42 minutes left there. He legit is the best clutch performer ever.

More interesting clutch stats... Last 5 minutes score within 5 pts--in potential clinching/clinching games in the finals MJ 12-25 48% LBJ 3-9 33.3% Kobe 1-4 25% All finals 1 minute score within 3 points MJ 9-20 45% LBJ 4-16 25% Kobe 4-8 50% Last 25 seconds to tie/take lead MJ 4-8 50% LBJ 0-6 0% Kobe 1-2 50% Last 5 minutes score within 3 points MJ 33-69 47.8% LBJ 11-46 23.9% Kobe 20-45 44.4% Last 2 minutes to tie/take lead MJ 8-17 47% LBJ 3-13 23.% Kobe 3-8 37.5% Was gonna put the “last 5 minutes score within 5 points” too but I saw you posted those, but I did exactly what you did for MJ. Years ago I manually put down his clutch stats but just the finals. Might do his whole playoff career but it’s too much, might go with his championship playoff runs first to be easier. Honestly LBJ/Kobe are nowhere near MJ’s level and that includes clutchness. I remember growing up watching him play and the dude was like on a different level than everybody else in clutch moments. I have yet to see someone match him.
Jordan is the clutchest player ever. But before the finals, LeBron is just as clutch as Jordan. And your just looking as last second or last minute shots. LeBron also has played great in elimination games in the finals since 2012.
Elijah Ruderman I see you’re using that Nick Wright/Shannon Sharpe logic where they say the last few minutes don’t matter to a specific clutch stat bc it doesn’t favor LBJ but somehow the last 10 seconds do in game winners bc he has more than MJ there. Doesn’t work like that. LBJ is clutch at times before the finals, guess what though? MJ is way better there too. In the finals he’s clutch as hell and again LBJ isn’t when compared to MJ. Lots of players play great in elimination games, doesn’t mean they’re more clutch than someone. Kyrie/Wade have both played great in elimination games yet LBJ fans never mention that. Go figure.
Bird definitely deserves to be in the conversation. Those number are just the top of the iceberg. If u want to compare players clutchness u need to go much much deeper. Still a great work and a large amount of stats given in ten minutes. Keep up uploading bro ur videos are really really interesting
Lebron has 2 of his 10 NBA finals that he was particularly bad in the clutch it lowered his overall finals clutch numbers . Every knows 2011 Finals , Lebron was 0/7 in the clutch and 2015 without Kyrie and Love, LeBron was 3/17. A combined 3/24 12.5% Lebrons other 8 finals he is a combined 23/51 45% So Lebron's lows were lower but overall 80% of the time his performance in the clutch was good. Not to mention he has more game winners in the playoffs than Kobe and Jordan combined . Most people's negative perception of Lebron is based on them pretending these 2 bad clutch finals represent 80% of Lebron's Finals narrative when it only represents 20%.
This is false man and the stats literally prove that he was the least clutch out of all of them. The thing is that he took ridiculous shots and made very few of them but the very few he did make were incredible and that’s why we all think he’s clutch. At the end of the day though he’s still barely made any.
@@jaapster11 Barely? He has the most game tying/go ahead shots in the final minute of a game in nba history. Also has the most game winners. Yeah that's not clutch.
Kobe who scored like this in a west teams like spurs, suns (2004-2008) denver portland dallas rockets etc keep in mind that the west was stacked during these times even until now.
Just like they came to the game 1 Michael Jordan 2 love Bryant 3 LeBron James That is what my eyes tell me about them when you really really really got to have the points
I totally agree. But host wasn’t alive when Bird was playing so he has limited knowledge except highlight videos. I started watching ball in ‘80 so I was fortunate.
It's amazing how MJ would shoot around 50% in any circumstance, which is also his career average. Mental pressure, what !? Those stats and examples are cool but LJ is several times mentally weaker than KB in any parallel universe.
Shaq and Kobe shared their titles and MVPs in Lakers...two (2) superstars... four (4) superstars in LA, but defeated by piston in 2004... Three (3) superstars in miami heat; Wade, bosh and Lebron...defeated by Dallas in 2011.. No superstars traded in chicago...undefeated in 6 titled championships...
That's exactly my point made, i don't tend to talk bs bout bron, but his fans are always saying that MJ played with a best roster, but if you look back the only superstar that he had was Pippen and he was made superstar because of jordan constant pushing and advices, everyone else where decent players not superstar and rodman was legit but using the logic of lebron fans he was way to old when he got to the bulls (35 years old), but in Lebron's case, every team that he had and managed to win had also a superstar but a already made superstar, not a rookie who started with him and actually he made him better into a superstar and win alongside him, so i really don't understand that logic, but anyways I'm gonna get dissed for this comment, but in the finals its all personal opinion.
Everyone forgets that Lebron made that super team they boasted saying they’ll get more rings than Jordan and were up 2-1 in that series against the mavs and got destroyed by goated Dirk
I'm pretty sure Jordan in 97-98 played most of the season with a broken index finger on his shooting hand (it did effect his shooting %. I mean if you last quarter stats only came from his 97 and 98 seasons then that matters
@@kabal.2461 No I'm not talking about his cut tendon in his finger in the Bahamas I think, his broken or maybe only injured finger was while they were playing during the season. But yeah you're right no excuses, Kobe played with injuries too
@@kabal.2461 it's kind of not relevant anyway even with lesser shooting % in 98, MJ is still clearly better But yeah man I heard Mj injured his finger before the playoffs (or maybe in a series) in 98 that's all. It could be wrong, I was never referring to his cut tendon
@@bobbyd1632 I think he injured his finger before the 98 season. He started out the season on bad efficiency but then learned How to shot during the season. His efficiency went up but the damage was already Done so his season FG% was only 46,5% which is usually great for any shooting guard.
in clutch stat totals or in career finals points? cause career finals points the list is 1) jerry west 1679 2)lebron 1383 3)kareem 1317 4)Mj 1176 (only played in 6)
@@boated23 you specified that mj played less finals than those other guys so you cool, also they obviously will have more for that reason and longevity too.
LeBron has done pretty good in the clutch. His shooting percentages in the clutch are better than Kobe’s, and his game 7 numbers are much better. Not close to MJ though
Clutch shooting % in playoffs: scores within 4 points and less than 2mins in the game) Jordan 48.2% Kawhi 47.8% Tatum 47.6% Butler 46.3% Siakam 45% McCollum 44.1% Kyrie 43.8% Lebron 42.8% Someone know Kobe’s numbers?
Was this a dig at Kobe? Anyway he’s right there with LBJ, he’s 49-120 40.8%, but I will say he’s also 14-29 48.2% in that same stat but in the finals. For comparison LBJ is 9-29 31% in that same stat.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nxReal clutch is last 2min ...kobe def more clutch. LeBron gets nervous when the clock is that down..5min? That's half a quaryer damn near..aint nobody worried at 5mins. Lol also kets not forget the regular season where Kobe is on an island all my himself with the most Game winners and league history
Manny Perez Yea that’s true but so is the last 5 minutes, that’s even the criteria for NBA.com. I agree Kobe is more clutch than LBJ, and I do think LBJ isn’t clutch in the finals in the closing minutes but neither are close to MJ at all. I was specifically talking about that certain clutch stat that the op posted. That stat LBJ/Kobe are pretty much even. How long have you been watching basketball? Playoff basketball at that? Last 5 minutes players ain’t worried about that? Did you see game 7 in the 2016 finals? The score was tied at 89 for damn near 5 minutes. You mean to tell me players didn’t give a damn. This is where LBJ was nowhere to be found and Kyrie had to step in and take that 3 for the lead which eventually lead to the win. Regular season clutch stats is nothing compared to the playoffs especially the finals, now that is something that players ain’t worried about. You don’t win titles in the regular season.
eazyduzit5150 LeBron scored or facilitated on 13 of his team’s 18 points in the fourth quarter of game 7 of the 2016 finals. Yes he went like 0 for 4 in the last 5 minutes of that game, but he was great before the last 5 minutes throughout that game and had an extremely clutch block.
@@joyfulhvh Kobe is easily the least clutchest in this list and the most overrated clutch player of all time. Actually, he is overrated in general. He’s not even top 5 all time and Lebron is top 4. Kobe = 3rd most overrated player of all time.
@@gggyy7104 Kobe beat most 50+ wins teams in history of NBA playoffs, almost get two 3peats like MJ, undefeated in international games, in 10 years of his prime he get to 7 finals and won 5 of them, most skilled and complete NBA player ever, he is either top 1 or top 2 of all time, easily
Lebron has hit game winners before yes...but he shys away from the big moment on offense and defense too many times for me. And the higher the stage the more Lebron looks to pass and or not guard the other teams best offensive player or the player who is hot down the stretch. Jordan and Kobe always wanted that moment with the ball in their hands! Lebron's major weakness was from the free throw line. These were some good stats. Its MJ all day everyday and twice on Sundays!!! 😆😆
This isn't even a real question! When Jordan needed clutch points, he came through! How do you think he's 6 for 6 in the finals! I've watched all them play and when the game was on the line NO ONE was more automatic than Jordan!
MJ is the most clutch of these 3. He was the most trustworthy in the clutch very rarely didn’t perform. Yes Lebron has playoff winners.... how about finals winners?? MJ clutch wise has done it on every level in every round and regular season more often than the other 2. That is how it is.
Awesome data research. I hope you update it further when someone gets MJ’s 4th-quarter stats from 91, 92, 93, 96. Then you would have is 2 Best Years which would separate him even further!
Keep in mind ya'll this video was uploaded on June 1st. the Playoffs didnt start till August 17th BUT even as a huge huge LeBron fan, barring the 2020 stat its very very very clear Jordan was the best in the clutch
Great video I love your work! However, you forgot the most important stat column, “ The Clutch Career” I have Jordan leading in this stat by a landslide!!! 1985 Jordan 100% Clutch 1986 Jordan 100% Clutch 1987 Jordan 100% Clutch 1988 Jordan 100% Clutch 1989 Jordan 100% Clutch 1990 Jordan 100% Clutch 1991 Jordan 100% Clutch 1992 Jordan 100% Clutch 1993 Jordan 100% Clutch 1995 Jordan 100% Clutch 1996 Jordan 100% Clutch 1997 Jordan 100% Clutch 1998 Jordan 100% Clutch 2002 Jordan 100% Clutch 2003 Jordan 100% Clutch Lol...🤣✊🏽
Why? He clearly said he grabbed Kobe’s best scoring years… if you show his stats from 09-10 they will hurt him. He literary did better when playing under shaq since the opposing team had to worry about guarding two guys
Totaling clutch should actually include assist within the last 5 minutes also. Really it's the only stat you left off that creates points on the board. This was a great video. Thanks for these specific stats. I've been researching to gather these stats and you did it for me. Again great video.
jocriss why assists? because it puts points on the board no matter who you're putting in the spotlight. You must not keep up with basketball much or you just started watching it or your knowledge of the game is low like real low.
@@Youngster543210 turnovers are higher with people who have more assists so lebron obv would have more because he is more of a pass verse guy the others dont move the ball as much so it would kind of be unfair
@@luminousrxk7288 Turnoverss correlate more with overall usage than they do APG. Jordan's usage rating was higher than Lebron's, he also generated more total offense with 33.4/5.7 vs 28.7/7.2 while turning the ball over less. Most assists just come from simple entry passes to scorers that did most of the heavy lifting, the more you dominate the ball (like LeBron) the more of these basic assists you'll get.
Until someone pulls 6 rings in 8 years a lot of these discussions are moot. when a squad does that. A LOT of records or broken , never to be repeated or challenged even closely.
Also Kobe and Lebron both faced elimination games when they had championship teams. When they had good teammates good help they played elimination games. MJ played a large chunk of his elimination games when he had no help and generally against all time competition. The Bulls 2 3-peats the Bulls only played in 2 elimination games. They won both.
Little do people remember that not only was Pippen out for game 7 in 1990 - so was John Paxson. MJ had to play point and had 31-9 assists-8 boards on 48 percent shooting but the rest of the team shot...23 percent.
I'm going to debate with you right now it's simple Michael Jordan is the goat greatest player clutch performer ever number two is Kobe and this choke card is that you have a LeBron you shouldn't even be putting him here cuz he didn't he doesn't even like the ball and the final minutes he's always passing so why are we having this conversation.
Let’s talk about how clutch each player is as the underdog. Jordan did great when his team was the favorites. As the underdog he performed terribly. In 1988 ECSF vs the Pistons.Let's see how Jordan did. G3: scores 3 4th Q points in a 22 point home loss G4: scores 8 4th Q points in a 19 point home loss G5: scores 5 4th Q points in a 7 point loss. In 1989, Jordan's Bulls went up 2-1 in the ECF, but then lost 3 in a row. Let's see how he did in those games: G4: Scored 11 points over last 3 quarters in a 6 point home loss G5: Scored 1 4th Q point in a crucial 9 point loss G6: Scored 6 4th Q points in 9 point season ending home loss. In the last 5 minutes, Jordan scored just 2 points, and didn't take a shot in the last 3 minutes of the game. Result? Bulls go home. Jordan made just 9 shots COMBINED over Game 4 and Game 5(both losses) In the '90 ECF. The Bulls lost all 4 games on the road. Let's see how Jordan did in those games: G1: 3 4th Q points (lost by 9) G2: 5 4th Q points (lost by 9) G5: 5 4th Q points (lost by 14 G7: 9 4th Q points on 10 shots (lost by 19). Jordan scored 0 points in the last 4:50 of game 7. Easy to go over his winning seasons without going over his entire career as a whole. He played more than 6 seasons.
Firstly man we’re comparing MJ to Lebron not MJ to perfection yeah? How’s Lebron’s 4th quarter numbers when he faced actual quality defense (and Lebron’s never faced defense as aggressive as the Pistons from 89-91). I mean he went scoreless in 4 straight 4th quarters vs the Mavs, he had a 11% fg game vs the 2008 Celtics (I’m pretty sure Bron blew a 2-1 lead vs the 2010 Celtics too), Lebron has the finals record for tov per game vs the 2007 Spurs… it’s a pretty long list (certainly longer than MJs) oh and you knock MJ for game 7 vs the Pistons in 1990 (that game was famous for how badly the entire bulls team played aside from MJ go look it up) and MJ was aggressively doubled every time he touched the ball, he has to work just to get the ball (Lebron’s never faced that)
Gabriel Uwalaka Does LBJ have any game winners in the finals though? His fg% in clutch situations in the finals is nowhere near as great as MJ’s. Am I hating here again or nah?
@@vanthom9185 does that mean he is better then giannis is at defense. No, the stats show some part of the story but defensively it’s giannis and that’s what my eyes tell me. Idc what the stats say, my eye tells me I will take giannis, kawhi, and AD over lebron on defensive possession all day everyday.
@@vanthom9185 wtf are you talking about? Lebron's defensive rating was abysmal last season at 106. Giannis' was 97 lol. You do know the lower number is better with defensive rating, right? Its the number of points allowed by that player per 100 possessions.
the eye test is so effective for this.. there is SO much you can see outside of just numbers. in fact, watching in real time is almost the only way you can grasp it fully. counting buzzer beaters is a LAZY way to account for clutchness.. seriously. most of the most clutch performances I've seen dont come down to a buzzer beater.. or it came down to several key shots, steal, or defensive stop at the tail end of a game. numbers also don't account for the pressure and magnitude of the clutch moment. using the eye test I see Jordan an Kobe way out ahead of Lebron. I can think of several of Mjs famous "buzzer beaters" that few know were actually the last of 2 or 3 clutch shots in the game.
Also sometimes I try to avoid using total points in the 4th quarter to define if a player is clutch in big close moments bc at times there are games where the game is well over with and certain players love to stat pad during those times. Whether their team is up or down. For example LBJ is notorious for that shit. Look at his total 4th quarter stats in the 2015 finals.... 10.2 ppg 40.4% Decent fg% right? Yet when you see him in tight situations in those very same games he’s not delivering.... Last 5 minutes score within 5 points 3-17 17.6% Last 5 minutes score within 3 points 2-12 16.6% You see how sometimes showing total 4th quarter points can be misleading, he does this a lot to make it seem like he was always going hard all game but really wasn’t in the end when the game was close.
Gabriel Uwalaka This is literally what you Bron groupies do, avoid facts and just call folks “haters” when y’all see something y’all don’t like. Truth hurts I guess •shrugs• keep it moving little one.
Reggie Miller, Robert Horry, I Ray Allen and Chancey Billips were also extremely clutch basketball players as far as making big-time last second shots.
My answer would be truthfully be Larry Bird, and I think Kareem, Jerry West and Bill Russel have to be considered as well, but from these 3 choices I would say Lebron is most statistically clutch, while MJ is the most clutch when it matters the most. Kobe is the most fearless but not more clutch overall. He choked several times in big moments, he only was the best player on his team for two titles and his only really memorable playoff game winner was in a first round series that his team went on to lose after going up 3-1. Lebron never lost in the first round, and neither him or MJ choked a series that much. Kobe can’t be completely blamed for that given his help, but I still think it’s interesting that his game winner against the Suns is the only playoff shot people really remember from him. MJ on the other hand had two series clinching buzzer beaters, a finals buzzer beater, multiple finals game winners aside from that, and several times he completely took over and scored big in huge moments. Lebron has a couple choke jobs as well but from 2012 onwards he has been as clutch as they come unless the team he’s facing is just outright unfair. He has the best statistics for Game 7’s of any player, the most playoffs buzzer beaters of any player, many times he took over to will his team to victory (vs 2007 Pistons, 2012 Celtics, 2013 Spurs, 2016 Warriors) and in year 17 is still the person I most trust to win the game for me in the league currently. I mean in his last playoffs he won two Game 7s and had two buzzer beaters. People forget that because he lost to the most loaded team in NBA history in the finals. But at least he got there, unlike how Kobe couldn’t get near there for years after Shaq left.
@@fury_021 I’m not saying lebron is more clutch than Jordan but to say why lebron is even mentioned with Jordan is crazy, both are clutch players but Jordan is more clutch than lebron
In 2011 Finals Lebron was 0/7 in the clutch. 2015 Finals 3/17 for a combined 3/24. 12.5% The other 8 Finals combined he was 23/51 45% I've always said 2011 Finals is Lebron's only reasonable career blemish but people want to pretend it represents 90% of Lebron's Finals story when it only represents 10% factually speaking. People justify this by the other 5 finals losses and below .500 finals record that were a result of the other team being better not Lebron being a loser. 2015 Finals was in Lebrons 5th straight Finals, and Kyrie and Love were out. Lebron averaged nearly 46 minutes per game in the series because the rest of the team was so beneath the talent of Golden State fully healthy, they couldn't survive a minute without him. Thus Lebron was worn down and exhausted from having to be the best at litterally everything on the court, thus in the final minutes he would just desperately shoot bad shots or attack vs loaded up defenses in desperation because Warriors knew no one else could hurt them if they just played man to man a converged late with help. Very few players would do well in these circumstances if any. But of course Lebron haters are just happy with the narrative of 2011 Finals choke/ 4-6 Finals / lost with a better big 3 than his opponent in 11, 14, and 18. But this narrative has always been unfair purposely because it paints Lebron as a loser 60% of the time when you don't use context.
Kobe Bryant has the hardest task among the three during playoff especially during final because their opponents doubled and tripled him unlike Jordan and LeBron does not need double team..that's s big diifference 1 vs 5 or 2 vs 5 in almost every position.
Lebron James is not clutch, stop it. If you look at games with a much bigger sample (i.e. the regular season), MJ is the most clutch BUT Kobe is the second most clutch and has the most game winners in NBA history; lebron isn't even third, Melo is. 😂
Kobe Bryant played in a harder conference Kobe used to trash The East Conference can you break down these players stats by conferences??? See how their stats compare from East to West by the teams they played against. I know if Kobe Bryant played in the East playing Knicks 4 to 5 times a year instead of twicehis stats would look way better
Even against the West his clutch stats weren’t better against his finals opponents, so what you said isn’t accurate. Kobe Last 5 minutes score within 5 points Vs West 79-208 37.9% Vs East 24-57 42.1% Last 5 minutes score within 3 points Vs West 56-149 37.5% Vs East 20-45 44.4% Last 24 seconds to tie/take lead Vs West 6-26 23% Vs East 1-2 50% His clutch stats are better than LBJ in the finals though, LBJ hardly shows up there compared to his weak East opponents but neither are clutch as MJ. He was clutch every playoff series no matter what it was. The finals is where it matters most and MJ was the best there as well.
Something about this and the data isn’t sitting right. Because LeBron in the finals in 2013, recorded 54 points in the 4th quarter in the finals series against the Spurs which would rank number over Jordan’s 98 season with 30 points.
To the people watching this , please get to know that he compared Jordan's last two years of his career and Kobe's and Bron's best two years and MJ still stood out as the best.
Last 2 years of his career? Seriously? MJ retired at 2003 when he is at wizards. Are you that stupid? He clearly compared MJ at his prime same as LBJ and KB
Lol... Lebron is not a clutch player dude..have you ever waatch the game or what kobe have more..clutch plays than lebron ever has .lol making me laugh
@@applycontext9161 lol do you know what clutch means..how many buzzer beater does he had. In close game situation.how many game winning shots does he had..lol he is not comparable to kobe and lebron..

Larry Joe Bird. Don’t sleep
Please send this to me
Jordan is the clutchest player ever. But before the finals, LeBron is just as clutch as Jordan. And your just looking as last second or last minute shots. LeBron also has played great in elimination games in the finals since 2012.
Elijah Ruderman
I see you’re using that Nick Wright/Shannon Sharpe logic where they say the last few minutes don’t matter to a specific clutch stat bc it doesn’t favor LBJ but somehow the last 10 seconds do in game winners bc he has more than MJ there. Doesn’t work like that.
LBJ is clutch at times before the finals, guess what though? MJ is way better there too. In the finals he’s clutch as hell and again LBJ isn’t when compared to MJ. Lots of players play great in elimination games, doesn’t mean they’re more clutch than someone. Kyrie/Wade have both played great in elimination games yet LBJ fans never mention that. Go figure.
Context needs to be added on this since most of Kobe’s elimination games and game 7s came pre 2000 when he was a bench player
Exactly this makes him look like a role player.
Then also Kobe games really didn’t have game 7
@@dwightturner2642 true

Jordan with the ultimate clutches Winning semi finals and championships from day one in college. The goat. Everyone else just followed
Jordan is the most clutch by a decent amount. Also this shows that Lebron has become clutcher as his career has gone on
@Ugur Oselemis true my top 3 most clutches of all time in no order is mj lebron and Larry bird
Lebron has 2 of his 10 NBA finals that he was particularly bad in the clutch it lowered his overall finals clutch numbers . Every knows 2011 Finals , Lebron was 0/7 in the clutch and 2015 without Kyrie and Love, LeBron was 3/17.
A combined 3/24 12.5%
Lebrons other 8 finals he is a combined
23/51 45%
So Lebron's lows were lower but overall 80% of the time his performance in the clutch was good.
Not to mention he has more game winners in the playoffs than Kobe and Jordan combined .
Most people's negative perception of Lebron is based on them pretending these 2 bad clutch finals represent 80% of Lebron's Finals narrative when it only represents 20%.
He always been clutch that game 5 vs the pistons when he was 22 was best thing I’ve ever seen a young player do
According to your stats, the three most clutch are:
1. Mj
2. Kobe
3. LBJ
Makes sense:
6 Rings
5 Rings
4 Rings
Bird and Allen would be in the discussion, but this one is only for the current debate

Kobe was never been sided by stats(except points) in his career but we all know Kobe is the most clutch player in this generation has ever seen.
and MJ, he learned everything from MJ lol.
This is false man and the stats literally prove that he was the least clutch out of all of them. The thing is that he took ridiculous shots and made very few of them but the very few he did make were incredible and that’s why we all think he’s clutch. At the end of the day though he’s still barely made any.

It's amazing how MJ would shoot around 50% in any circumstance, which is also his career average. Mental pressure, what !? Those stats and examples are cool but LJ is several times mentally weaker than KB in any parallel universe.
Great video, man! The debate is OVERRRRR. MJ all day. These aren’t even his most prime years, and he STILL slays.
Shaq and Kobe shared their titles and MVPs in Lakers...two (2) superstars...
four (4) superstars in LA, but defeated by piston in 2004...
Three (3) superstars in miami heat; Wade, bosh and Lebron...defeated by Dallas in 2011..
No superstars traded in chicago...undefeated in 6 titled championships...
That's exactly my point made, i don't tend to talk bs bout bron, but his fans are always saying that MJ played with a best roster, but if you look back the only superstar that he had was Pippen and he was made superstar because of jordan constant pushing and advices, everyone else where decent players not superstar and rodman was legit but using the logic of lebron fans he was way to old when he got to the bulls (35 years old), but in Lebron's case, every team that he had and managed to win had also a superstar but a already made superstar, not a rookie who started with him and actually he made him better into a superstar and win alongside him, so i really don't understand that logic, but anyways I'm gonna get dissed for this comment, but in the finals its all personal opinion.
That 4 SUPER STAR team u have for the lakers is Kobe, Shaq, and KArL Malone and the glove both being 75 years old
Everyone forgets that Lebron made that super team they boasted saying they’ll get more rings than Jordan and were up 2-1 in that series against the mavs and got destroyed by goated Dirk
Nice job. Now we just need to get Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe to see this video.
I'm pretty sure Jordan in 97-98 played most of the season with a broken index finger on his shooting hand (it did effect his shooting %. I mean if you last quarter stats only came from his 97 and 98 seasons then that matters
It was after that year, dont make excuses

@@kabal.2461 it's kind of not relevant anyway even with lesser shooting % in 98, MJ is still clearly better

@@bobbyd1632 I think he injured his finger before the 98 season. He started out the season on bad efficiency but then learned How to shot during the season. His efficiency went up but the damage was already Done so his season FG% was only 46,5% which is usually great for any shooting guard.
it’s insane that in only 6 Finals MJ has more total points than kobe who had 7 finals appearances & lebron who has 9! final appearances.

Yea that’s true but so is the last 5 minutes, that’s even the criteria for NBA.com. I agree Kobe is more clutch than LBJ, and I do think LBJ isn’t clutch in the finals in the closing minutes but neither are close to MJ at all. I was specifically talking about that certain clutch stat that the op posted. That stat LBJ/Kobe are pretty much even.
How long have you been watching basketball? Playoff basketball at that? Last 5 minutes players ain’t worried about that? Did you see game 7 in the 2016 finals? The score was tied at 89 for damn near 5 minutes. You mean to tell me players didn’t give a damn. This is where LBJ was nowhere to be found and Kyrie had to step in and take that 3 for the lead which eventually lead to the win.
Regular season clutch stats is nothing compared to the playoffs especially the finals, now that is something that players ain’t worried about. You don’t win titles in the regular season.
eazyduzit5150 LeBron scored or facilitated on 13 of his team’s 18 points in the fourth quarter of game 7 of the 2016 finals. Yes he went like 0 for 4 in the last 5 minutes of that game, but he was great before the last 5 minutes throughout that game and had an extremely clutch block.
Jordan all day
LeBron was clutch when he got 3 all star players in his side to back him up and they're up with 5 points..

Yeah hes pretty good. Just not in same ballpark as MJ.
I personally think Kobe is the clutches player in history
I agree. We know what we saw.
Lebron has hit game winners before yes...but he shys away from the big moment on offense and defense too many times for me. And the higher the stage the more Lebron looks to pass and or not guard the other teams best offensive player or the player who is hot down the stretch. Jordan and Kobe always wanted that moment with the ball in their hands! Lebron's major weakness was from the free throw line.
These were some good stats. Its MJ all day everyday and twice on Sundays!!! 😆😆
This isn't even a real question! When Jordan needed clutch points, he came through! How do you think he's 6 for 6 in the finals! I've watched all them play and when the game was on the line NO ONE was more automatic than Jordan!
Jordan all day,,,for ever 23MJ,,,,the goat 🐐

MJ is the most clutch of these 3. He was the most trustworthy in the clutch very rarely didn’t perform. Yes Lebron has playoff winners.... how about finals winners?? MJ clutch wise has done it on every level in every round and regular season more often than the other 2. That is how it is.
Awesome data research. I hope you update it further when someone gets MJ’s 4th-quarter stats from 91, 92, 93, 96. Then you would have is 2 Best Years which would separate him even further!

Excellent, non bias video!!
You should have given content to Kobe’s stats. A lot of those were from younger days as a second option
Why? He clearly said he grabbed Kobe’s best scoring years… if you show his stats from 09-10 they will hurt him. He literary did better when playing under shaq since the opposing team had to worry about guarding two guys
I think he chose more volume points rather then best performances. He put an 04 stat line for Kobe and that screamed to me bias
Yup back when he was benched
Great objective video
Totaling clutch should actually include assist within the last 5 minutes also. Really it's the only stat you left off that creates points on the board. This was a great video. Thanks for these specific stats. I've been researching to gather these stats and you did it for me. Again great video.
jocriss why assists? because it puts points on the board no matter who you're putting in the spotlight. You must not keep up with basketball much or you just started watching it or your knowledge of the game is low like real low.
Why not also rebounds, steals, blocks and turnovers too? Assists are the easiest thing to stat pad, especially for a primary ballhandler.
@@Youngster543210 rebounding and defense dont show clutchness as much as scoring does.
@@Youngster543210 turnovers are higher with people who have more assists so lebron obv would have more because he is more of a pass verse guy the others dont move the ball as much so it would kind of be unfair
@@luminousrxk7288 Turnoverss correlate more with overall usage than they do APG. Jordan's usage rating was higher than Lebron's, he also generated more total offense with 33.4/5.7 vs 28.7/7.2 while turning the ball over less. Most assists just come from simple entry passes to scorers that did most of the heavy lifting, the more you dominate the ball (like LeBron) the more of these basic assists you'll get.
the stats literally show mj is the clutches player
I feel like 5 min left in the game is still a lot of time left to call that clutch time I'm guessing closer to under 2 min and within 5 points
Exactly
why talked about this we know that mj is much more ahead of the two
JORDAN
Until someone pulls 6 rings in 8 years a lot of these discussions are moot. when a squad does that. A LOT of records or broken , never to be repeated or challenged even closely.
6 rings, 6 years played👌
Jordan duh....didnt even need to watch
Also consider the fact that the Jordan statistics in 1997 and 1998 were in the deadball era. Imagine MJ's statistics in the late-80s and early-90s
Also Kobe and Lebron both faced elimination games when they had championship teams. When they had good teammates good help they played elimination games. MJ played a large chunk of his elimination games when he had no help and generally against all time competition. The Bulls 2 3-peats the Bulls only played in 2 elimination games. They won both.
Little do people remember that not only was Pippen out for game 7 in 1990 - so was John Paxson. MJ had to play point and had 31-9 assists-8 boards on 48 percent shooting but the rest of the team shot...23 percent.
It's between jordan and kobe..
I'm going to debate with you right now it's simple Michael Jordan is the goat greatest player clutch performer ever number two is Kobe and this choke card is that you have a LeBron you shouldn't even be putting him here cuz he didn't he doesn't even like the ball and the final minutes he's always passing so why are we having this conversation.
His Airness by a pretty wide margin
Kobe has more clutch points than nay player in nba history ...facts
Exactly. Kobe has the most game winners in NBA history. He's got 36 game winners.
If you hate the fact that these states prove Jordan is the goat, you can always go in denial mode, like you always do.
Let’s talk about how clutch each player is as the underdog. Jordan did great when his team was the favorites. As the underdog he performed terribly. In 1988 ECSF vs the Pistons.Let's see how Jordan did. G3: scores 3 4th Q points in a 22 point home loss G4: scores 8 4th Q points in a 19 point home loss G5: scores 5 4th Q points in a 7 point loss. In 1989, Jordan's Bulls went up 2-1 in the ECF, but then lost 3 in a row. Let's see how he did in those games: G4: Scored 11 points over last 3 quarters in a 6 point home loss G5: Scored 1 4th Q point in a crucial 9 point loss G6: Scored 6 4th Q points in 9 point season ending home loss. In the last 5 minutes, Jordan scored just 2 points, and didn't take a shot in the last 3 minutes of the game. Result? Bulls go home. Jordan made just 9 shots COMBINED over Game 4 and Game 5(both losses) In the '90 ECF. The Bulls lost all 4 games on the road. Let's see how Jordan did in those games: G1: 3 4th Q points (lost by 9) G2: 5 4th Q points (lost by 9) G5: 5 4th Q points (lost by 14 G7: 9 4th Q points on 10 shots (lost by 19). Jordan scored 0 points in the last 4:50 of game 7. Easy to go over his winning seasons without going over his entire career as a whole. He played more than 6 seasons.
Firstly man we’re comparing MJ to Lebron not MJ to perfection yeah? How’s Lebron’s 4th quarter numbers when he faced actual quality defense (and Lebron’s never faced defense as aggressive as the Pistons from 89-91). I mean he went scoreless in 4 straight 4th quarters vs the Mavs, he had a 11% fg game vs the 2008 Celtics (I’m pretty sure Bron blew a 2-1 lead vs the 2010 Celtics too), Lebron has the finals record for tov per game vs the 2007 Spurs… it’s a pretty long list (certainly longer than MJs) oh and you knock MJ for game 7 vs the Pistons in 1990 (that game was famous for how badly the entire bulls team played aside from MJ go look it up) and MJ was aggressively doubled every time he touched the ball, he has to work just to get the ball (Lebron’s never faced that)
🤣😂 I would not want lebron shooting the last shot to win the game

@@vanthom9185 wtf are you talking about? Lebron's defensive rating was abysmal last season at 106. Giannis' was 97 lol. You do know the lower number is better with defensive rating, right? Its the number of points allowed by that player per 100 possessions.
@Crius XI what you think?
the eye test is so effective for this.. there is SO much you can see outside of just numbers. in fact, watching in real time is almost the only way you can grasp it fully. counting buzzer beaters is a LAZY way to account for clutchness.. seriously. most of the most clutch performances I've seen dont come down to a buzzer beater.. or it came down to several key shots, steal, or defensive stop at the tail end of a game. numbers also don't account for the pressure and magnitude of the clutch moment. using the eye test I see Jordan an Kobe way out ahead of Lebron. I can think of several of Mjs famous "buzzer beaters" that few know were actually the last of 2 or 3 clutch shots in the game.
Great video. Kobe is still my favorite
Also sometimes I try to avoid using total points in the 4th quarter to define if a player is clutch in big close moments bc at times there are games where the game is well over with and certain players love to stat pad during those times. Whether their team is up or down. For example LBJ is notorious for that shit. Look at his total 4th quarter stats in the 2015 finals....
10.2 ppg
40.4%
Decent fg% right? Yet when you see him in tight situations in those very same games he’s not delivering....
Last 5 minutes score within 5 points
3-17 17.6%
Last 5 minutes score within 3 points
2-12 16.6%
You see how sometimes showing total 4th quarter points can be misleading, he does this a lot to make it seem like he was always going hard all game but really wasn’t in the end when the game was close.

Reggie Miller, Robert Horry, I Ray Allen and Chancey Billips were also extremely clutch basketball players as far as making big-time last second shots.
My answer would be truthfully be Larry Bird, and I think Kareem, Jerry West and Bill Russel have to be considered as well, but from these 3 choices I would say Lebron is most statistically clutch, while MJ is the most clutch when it matters the most. Kobe is the most fearless but not more clutch overall. He choked several times in big moments, he only was the best player on his team for two titles and his only really memorable playoff game winner was in a first round series that his team went on to lose after going up 3-1. Lebron never lost in the first round, and neither him or MJ choked a series that much. Kobe can’t be completely blamed for that given his help, but I still think it’s interesting that his game winner against the Suns is the only playoff shot people really remember from him.
MJ on the other hand had two series clinching buzzer beaters, a finals buzzer beater, multiple finals game winners aside from that, and several times he completely took over and scored big in huge moments.
Lebron has a couple choke jobs as well but from 2012 onwards he has been as clutch as they come unless the team he’s facing is just outright unfair. He has the best statistics for Game 7’s of any player, the most playoffs buzzer beaters of any player, many times he took over to will his team to victory (vs 2007 Pistons, 2012 Celtics, 2013 Spurs, 2016 Warriors) and in year 17 is still the person I most trust to win the game for me in the league currently. I mean in his last playoffs he won two Game 7s and had two buzzer beaters. People forget that because he lost to the most loaded team in NBA history in the finals. But at least he got there, unlike how Kobe couldn’t get near there for years after Shaq left.
Why is LeBron mentioned??!? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

@@samogh2931 Game winners don't show everything. If you get the correct stats and context no one would say Bron is clutch than MJ

@@fury_021 I’m not saying lebron is more clutch than Jordan but to say why lebron is even mentioned with Jordan is crazy, both are clutch players but Jordan is more clutch than lebron
In 2011 Finals Lebron was 0/7 in the clutch. 2015 Finals 3/17 for a combined 3/24. 12.5%
The other 8 Finals combined he was 23/51 45%
I've always said 2011 Finals is Lebron's only reasonable career blemish but people want to pretend it represents 90% of Lebron's Finals story when it only represents 10% factually speaking.
People justify this by the other 5 finals losses and below .500 finals record that were a result of the other team being better not Lebron being a loser.
2015 Finals was in Lebrons 5th straight Finals, and Kyrie and Love were out. Lebron averaged nearly 46 minutes per game in the series because the rest of the team was so beneath the talent of Golden State fully healthy, they couldn't survive a minute without him. Thus Lebron was worn down and exhausted from having to be the best at litterally everything on the court, thus in the final minutes he would just desperately shoot bad shots or attack vs loaded up defenses in desperation because Warriors knew no one else could hurt them if they just played man to man a converged late with help. Very few players would do well in these circumstances if any.
But of course Lebron haters are just happy with the narrative of 2011 Finals choke/ 4-6 Finals / lost with a better big 3 than his opponent in 11, 14, and 18.
But this narrative has always been unfair purposely because it paints Lebron as a loser 60% of the time when you don't use context.
Idc if it's one shot to save my life I want Kobe takin it

Kobe Bryant has the hardest task among the three during playoff especially during final because their opponents doubled and tripled him unlike Jordan and LeBron does not need double team..that's s big diifference 1 vs 5 or 2 vs 5 in almost every position.
Lebron James is not clutch, stop it. If you look at games with a much bigger sample (i.e. the regular season), MJ is the most clutch BUT Kobe is the second most clutch and has the most game winners in NBA history; lebron isn't even third, Melo is. 😂
Jordan bron and kobe in that order
7:46 Hoow is that the totals when they just averaged 10 ppg in the 4th quarters. It should be 50 or 60?
I think you accidentally used clutch stats
He showed the total 4th quarter points in separate Finals Series, not all finals.
Kobe Bryant played in a harder conference Kobe used to trash The East Conference can you break down these players stats by conferences??? See how their stats compare from East to West by the teams they played against. I know if Kobe Bryant played in the East playing Knicks 4 to 5 times a year instead of twicehis stats would look way better
L-Mighty Effect that has nothing to do with clutch stats???????
@@applycontext9161 it has a lot to do with clutch stats
Even against the West his clutch stats weren’t better against his finals opponents, so what you said isn’t accurate.
Kobe
Last 5 minutes score within 5 points
Vs West 79-208 37.9%
Vs East 24-57 42.1%
Last 5 minutes score within 3 points
Vs West 56-149 37.5%
Vs East 20-45 44.4%
Last 24 seconds to tie/take lead
Vs West 6-26 23%
Vs East 1-2 50%
His clutch stats are better than LBJ in the finals though, LBJ hardly shows up there compared to his weak East opponents but neither are clutch as MJ. He was clutch every playoff series no matter what it was. The finals is where it matters most and MJ was the best there as well.
Say don't want to hear that shit and Kobe would say the same thing, no excuses
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx you just showed all his stats go up against The East proving what I said
@8:45 says it all. 1,2,3. The greatest, 2nd greatest and 3rd greatest players of all time.
kobe isn't even top 5
Something about this and the data isn’t sitting right. Because LeBron in the finals in 2013, recorded 54 points in the 4th quarter in the finals series against the Spurs which would rank number over Jordan’s 98 season with 30 points.
Very informative, and it shows that LeBron's best clutch stats did not translate to championships!
To the people watching this , please get to know that he compared Jordan's last two years of his career and Kobe's and Bron's best two years and MJ still stood out as the best.
Last 2 years of his career? Seriously? MJ retired at 2003 when he is at wizards. Are you that stupid? He clearly compared MJ at his prime same as LBJ and KB
@@killerbee691 I meant MJ 's last years in Bulls. It was not his prime.
