Sick Shot: Kobe Hits 6th Game-Winner This Season

Kobe may like to grab other dude’s meats, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t arguably the clutchest player in NBA history. With each game-winner, Kobe becomes closer to distancing himself from Michael Jordan in this debate. This game-winner couldn’t have come at a better time, as the Lakers were in the midst of a 3-game losing streak, in desperate need of a win to get that proverbial monkey off their back. Kobe came through yet again and prevented a potential disaster.

Sadly even though LeBron James is securing his title as the greatest of all times, he will probably never be regarded at the level of a Jordan and Bryant in terms of being clutch. This is mainly due to the fact that in order to be a clutch player, your team has to be in a close game. King James isn’t in nearly as many close games as Kobe and the Lakers, and even though they win more of them than they lose, it’s never a good sign when it takes a last-second shot to defeat some of your nastier squads in the league.
