Why is clutch so overrated?

I know man, I am on your side here. Read my above posts.

Half the people on here dont even watch the games(ala 3ball) and the other 40% are mentally or nearly mentally retarded.

His "clutch" stats might look good but I have never seen an all time great player choke away a final like he did in 2011.

I agree that he didnt perform up to his usual self, 18 7 and 6 wasnt the type of numbers he puts up. He was pretty efficient, dallas just made him pass the ball away with their zone and help defense. Cuban even said he made most of the right plays but guys(bibby, rio, house) couldnt hit shots. The only blemish on his career

Exactly, and it is usually in reference to end of game plays, even though it could mean a lot of other different things. ITT I am calling the ones they specify: end of game plays, overrated.

It's easier to remember a dramatic "clutch" shot. Hardly anyone remembers that Jordan averaged 40/6/8/3 in the 89 Cavs series, but we've all seen 'the shot' over Ehlo a million times.

Clutch decides games on every level of ball if competition is about equal on the league. Most games are decided by less than 10 points, which we have seen evaporate in less than a minute of play. Bird >>>>>>Lebron and I would draft him over bron easy decision. His skills are no match to Larry Legend's

Once again, no statistics, no facts, no numbers, just trite, agenda-laden bullshit.

The stats show that most of the games are decided by less than 10 points, easily catch-able in less than 2 minutes of ball. Pressure affect all athletes and even not just mentally but physically to be able to be as sharp in game 6 or seven of a tight series in the last minutes and continue to excel.

Everyone who has played ball knows a guy who was really good but somehow the not as good, but quite similar player always performs better and is more willing to make things happen when the heat is on.

Clutch players shouldnt be 2/6. Clutch players loves the pressure. They love being underdog and taking the challenge. Thats the way of alphas. The way of real men. If you wanna stack the deck to make it easy, then you are not a real man. You arent clutch coz you hate pressure. So no. Clutch and 2/6 shouldnt be mentioned in the same sentence.
