there is no such thing as CLUTCH

[pauk]

... let me learn u something fellas...

there is no such thing as CLUTCH.... there is only a bad/average/good/pure shooter.........

the only reason somebody like lebron or kobe or wade and so on have more clutch shots is because they are the best players for their teams...........

when u are in the NBA... there is no such thing as not being CLUTCH.... but there is "being the best player and therefore gets the ball on his hands in the clutch"....


when somebody misses a 3PT shot in the clutch.... its the result of being a not so good 3PT shooter (or taking a bad / tough shot).....

when somebody misses a FT shot in the clutch... its the result of being a not so good FT shooter............

it has NOTHING to do with the player "BEING AFRAID"...... :facepalm

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RAISING YOUR LEVEL IN THE CLUTCH............ LOOK AT KOBE AND LEBRON........... LOOK AT THEIR FG% IN THE CLUTCH..... THEY ACTUALLY SHOOT LESS THAN 40% FG THERE............ I WOULDNT CALL THAT "RAISING"..............

YES U BECOME MORE AWARE AND MORE FOCUSED IN THE CLUTCH............ BUT THAT WONT MAKE YOU ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHOOT 100% ACCURACY IN THE CLUTCH..............

[PurpleChuck]

u a Lebron stan, makes the topic less credit.

Let Heat007 tell ppl this bruh.

[cteach111]

clearly, there is a such thing as clutch because you keep using the word clutch...

more clutch shots, missing shots in the clutch... cmon man :lol

[Rnbizzle]

Some people are great shooters, just aren't 'cold' enough to make their freethrows when they matter most. On the other hand, there are people who are not the best shooters, but always seem to make them when the game is on the line. So yes, some players are more 'clutch' then others.

of course there's no such thing as clutch because bron can't isnt one. shameful bandwagon heat fans basically discrediting their franchise player and saying wade isn't clutch just to cover up LeChokes failures :facepalm:

I'm not gonna get numbers on this and everything, I kinda figure this is basic knowledge. I know this from personal experiences as well, from my own basketball games.

I thought it was pretty well known guys like Melo, Horry and Fisher are most clutch the most..

[get these NETS]

Dell Curry was one of the great shooters in the history of the game. Look up his shootings %s.

But he just never seemed to sink any of them in clutch regular season or playoff scenarios.


If Nick Anderson sinks those freethrows, perhaps the Magic win a ring in the penny/shaq era...instead he MISSES them both...they get swept, and he is never the same player again.


Peja is one of the great shooters...ada yada... he AIRBALLS a wide OPEN...corner three pointer against the Lakers in that epic series with the Kings..

I think in practice Peja can make that shot 75 times out of hundred, but in clutch situation he AIRBALLS it

[get these NETS]

Magic Johnson "I knew who to give the ball to in big situations..I knew who DIDN'T want the ball and I knew who wanted to take those kinds of shots"



Larry Bird "with the score tied and seconds left..most players in the league will take the shot. But down a few points, lot of guys are looking away. Only a handful of guys who will take the shot. It's what separates the men from the boys"

[pauk]

seriously some of u just need to accept this...... stop acting like this is some kindof VIDEO GAME where a player goes always NUTS in the clutch..................... you simply miss a shot or you make it.... ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.......... its more realistic!!

i understand if some human gets nervous and has a mental breakdown when then game is on the line and everything and u have to take the shot.... it can take a toll on the shot..... BUT THIS IS THE NBA........ if u aint mental tough u dont belong here...............

the only difference between somebody like KOBE or LEBRON and lets say JAMES JONES...... is that Kobe/Lebron are better players and can create plays much better......... BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU.......... that if James Jones & Kobe Bryant have to take 10 shots each.... James Jones will make more!!

its not because he is more clutch!! its because he SIMPLY SHOOTS BETTER............. THIS IS THE NBA, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE MENTALLY TO THEM TAKING A SHOT IN THE 1ST QUARTER OR IN THE 4TH QUARTER

LEBRON & KOBE & WADE GET THE BALL IN THEIR HANDS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST AT CREATING PLAYS FOR THEMSELVES OR FOR OTHERS!

Try to put a dollar in a vending machine while someone has a 12 guage pointed at your testicles and then tell me that there is no such thing as pressure to perform affecting your performance.

now you are overreacting.......... thats completely different......... its not like that at all.............. in the NBA that would make sense only if there ALSO is somebody pointing a 12 gauge shotgun to your head.......

but all they have is people watching them.... a crowd..... attention.... something they had since high school..... u miss or make a shot... no big deal... u go home.... but a 12 gauge....?

[Kaspah]

To understand clutch, you have to actually play the game. You're an idiot.

High pressure 10 seconds left, game tied

AS OPPOSED TO

Game tied in the 1st quarter.



There is such a different atmosphere on the court between these two situations. One of them requires you to be clutch in order to succeed.

Aside from Van Horn the guys you mentioned have had games that they delivered in the clutch. A few missess here and there doesnt automatically make you unclutch.

[The_Yearning]

LBJ ain't clutch. Deal with it OP. He sucks. Only clutch players win rings. Unless you call up David Stern (2006).

[tpols]

If what you're saying was true then role players like Robert Horry who have hit many clutch shots throughout their careers wouldn't exist. I mean Robert Horry was a much worse player than most superstars of today and he has more clutch shots and game winners than them.

I agree with a lot of that.

Being "clutch" isn't a skill. If it was, we'd see overall bad or average players that suddenly play incredibly well in "clutch" situations. Other than a few moments here and there, this has never happened consistently in the NBA.

Players are "clutch" because they are damn good in the first place. Not the other way around.

Yet some players can't deal with the pressure while others are just made for those situations and actually improve their play during those plays. It's all mental.

Like who? Let's some #'s on how some of these players have performed in these situations in the long run. I don't think it'll be much of a shock when it's mostly the best players/shooters in the league. I can understand a post player who can't shoot FTs like Dwight Howard not being there.

To me, these guys aren't clutch. They don't have some mystical ability that allows to play better in the final minutes as opposed to the rest of the game. They are just really good overall offensive players to begin with. I would expect a player like Kobe to be more "clutch" than Lebron because he has a better jump shot (an actual skill).

I'd rather attribute differences in performances here to actual things like skill-set, quality of teammates, quality of opposing defense, fatigue, etc. Not simply because someone is a born loser/choker or things along those lines. Was it really a shock when Kobe wasn't considered clutch the post-Shaq pre-Gasol years? He had to carry some crap teammates through entire games and was noticeably tired by the end of them. So why is he considered clutch again now?

Of course skill plays the biggest part. But it can get the better of you during such a situation. Have you ever been in a 'clutch' situation? Everything changes when it happens.

I agree. But these guys are all professional superstar athletes. I don't think any of them would be there if they were weak-minded. Since none of us really know what's going on inside their heads, I'd rather look at tangible reasons why some players do well and some don't as an explanation.

What about them? A few moments doesn't make them "clutch" to me. It's the same thing when people kept calling Turkoglu that based on 1 or 2 playoff series. I'd sooner trust a "choker" like Lebron or whatever other great player that has been given that reputation than Turkoglu, Horry or Fisher to score at any point in the game. First quarter, late in the 4th, OT, whenever.

Those guys are less nervous towards the end of close games, they might even relish those moments. Therefore it gives them a mental edge over the other players on the floor. It won't mean they'll hit the shot every time because you have to be damn special to be able to do that, but it gives them a significant advantage. Because your mind can fck up all the skills you have.

"If I hit it we win, if I miss y'all (the media) are going to blame the stars for losing the game anyway" - Robert Horry.

Perhaps that's why some guys don't get nervous in those situations. Robert Horry and Fisher aren't stars. They don't have legacies and no one is going to remember or give a shit when they miss a big shot.

Look just cuz lebron is having a bad year doesn't mean it will continue or he may not be more clutch next year or in the playoffs. We don't know

Kobe had a couple of years when shaq left and before gasol came, where it seemed like that dude missed every game winner he took.

glad we all agree! lol

I agree with the first part as I believe it's not about someone raising their game in pressured situations. It's about everyone else dropping their game and these certain "clutch" players try to take advantage of it. Everyone gets the goosebumps and the rush of a pounding heart, but the clutch players don't make these things a distraction.

[NumberSix]

There is no such thing as clutch. That's true. There is however truth to people dealing with pressure differently. Some people get panicky and some people maintain their normalcy.

[SacJB Shady]

The person who started this thread thinks he knows it all, but still has much to learn upon. Sure, clutch can be overused or misconstrued. But there is such a thing as clutch. Jarret Jack was clutch last year for the Warriors. Clutch has a lot to do with mental. Players with fear will not focus as much, but other players can focus better during critical times. Lebron improved his clutch abilities later on but didn't have it much earlier in his career. And clutch is not the same thing as luck either. Also having a good basketball IQ can help you be a better clutch player in certain situations.

That's true but I also believe sometimes players can raise their game in pressured situations or even raise their intensity. Clutch is not tangible but it's something we all experience. Because it's not easily explained, some try to deny it.
