The 22-year-old ranks this high despite a brutal Game 1 against the Miami Heat, Bam Adebayo block included. Basically, it seeks to answer the question of who raises or lowers their team’s odds in the game’s most critical moments.
In a recent Twitter discussion of who the NBA's best purer scorer is, a suggestion of Kobe Bryant led Rotoworld's Michael Gallagher down a path to further King James enlightenment of how good he is in the clutch. NBA fans may not be able to agree on who the greatest of all time is, but they can sure agree that LeBron James is the best ever to play the game.
I downloaded the data for each active player and crunched the numbers to see which player, with a minimum of 250 games played, on average most raised his team’s odds of winning down the stretch. Déjà vu! LeBron has been noticeably more efficient in the last five minutes, averaging 3.7 points on 46.8% shooting and 32.5% from downtown. What I love about this metric is it takes into account the instances when a player screws up. Turns out Butler isn’t the top player by clutch WPA, but he has terrorized opponents for years with the game on the line. Not only did he make more shots in these situations, but he did so in fewer attempts.eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'theballzone_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_5',129,'0','0'])); At this point in his career, LeBron James has proven that he is a better player than Kobe Bryant was during his career—at any point and as a whole. Postseason win shares/48 minutes: .143. Though 11 of those makes are dunks, he has nearly twice as many, 21, that are jumpers outside of 10 feet. The Oklahoma City Thunder were the most clutch team in the regular season for a reason: The Point God was running their team instead of Russell Westbrook, who ranks as one of the worst clutch players of this generation. He was awful in crunchtime this season but ranked No. pic.twitter.com/tCoqCFl9Ce. He has the full bag -- 30-foot double-pump 3-pointers, alley-oop dunks, putbacks -- you name it. All hail, Jimmy Buckets. However, the more variables you add to the equation, the harder it is to parse out the credit on a particular play. Instead of looking at cumulative Clutch WPA, which would essentially favor those who have played the longest, I’m looking at clutch WPA prorated to 82 games. Kobe definitely got the rock and definitely jacked it up his fair share. He also turned the ball over an average 0.3 times and held a plus-minus of 0.8. Before that play, down one point with two seconds left, the Lakershad just an 18.2-percent chance of winning the game based on the clock and score. Take Anthony Davis’ game-winning 3-pointer at the end of Game 2. As a comparison, the league average in those situations is 37.5 percent. The game is on the line and you need a bucket. CLUTCH BUCKETS.BIRTHDAY BUCKETS.JIMMY G. BUCKETS.. Looking at inpredictable’s shot logs, Curry has missed his last eight “double clutch” shots in the playoffs, most recently the potential go-ahead 3-pointer with six seconds left in Game 6, a miss that sealed the championship for Toronto (Double clutch, a term that Beuoy also called “clutch squared”, is the top one percent of the highest-leveraged shots -- the shots that really swing games.). If he keeps this up, the former No. In time, these may go down as the clutchest playoffs ever. Don’t forget, Harden’s free throws also count in this analysis, so he has a leg up on just about everybody in that category.
