Top 10 Most Clutch Players of All Time (reaction)

[@jonnyarnett]

I think I understand why we differ a bit… When I think of “Clutch”, being a big game performer means just as much, if not MORE than simply making clutch shots. This list is a combination of those 2 things, but I probably put an even greater emphasis on being a big game performer. The funny thing is that I completely agree with your top 3 IF we’re going SPECIFICALLY by Clutch Shot Makers…. Honestly I might have to do that Top 10 at some point, because almost everything would be different. Jordan, Kobe and Bird at the top, guys like Hakeem, Russell and Duncan fall out of the top 10. Guys like Damian Lillard and Robert Horry move into the Top 10.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Ok in that case I understand this a little more lol. A guy a who's gonna show up in a deciding game and dominate. I was really curious how Magic was above Bird but now this totally makes sense. Jonny totally make that vid about "life on the line whos gonna win it" cuz most of the comments in here were answering that question. Thanks as always Jonny and can't wait for the next one! ✌️

[@jonnyarnett]

@@TheRealMindCrimeYep, I’ll do that for sure! Seems like it’s needed because that will help clear things up 👍 Have a good day bro.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

@jonnyarnett that's gonna be a banger of a vid man. I can't wait. You should shock everyone and make Robert Horry the number 1 😆 🤣 😂

[@whenisdinner2137]

It's so ironic that lebron named his media and agency company klutch. Something he is not

[@hh-jy1ld]

Compensating 😂

[@masterrserch3971]

His 3 big choke jobs, whether it be 4th quarters, full finals series, or series deciding games....even though there's more FAILS on his stained career, all he needs are the 3 big ones (Dallas, Spurs,and even the quarter where they WON and Ray Allen hit the big shot, he was nowhere to be found and missed a shot that got the board over to Ray lol)...HUGE choke jobs like that, BY DEFINITION, U CANT BE "THE GOAT" with fails like that... but he's got his own BIG top 10 un-clutch video...having that, u CANNOT BE GOAT

[@TheRealMindCrime]

it's ironic huh? lol

[@Nysdaddy]

That’s why it’s spelled wrong.

[@jainmelbourne]

@@TheRealMindCrime ahh, I completely misunderstood the company name. I had always thought it was a reminder to Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, and the other media cronies on how they were to hold his crown jewels as they kneel before their king

[@darrenmarcbautista6410]

I definitely agree on your take on Bird. He was THAT great! James Worthy was a star, man. Big game James! D. Wade was also clutch.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

yeah i didn't about Wade here but that's crazy cuz he was absolutely clutch and the more pressure the better he got

[@J24J]

Charles getting MVP spurred MJ on in the finals against the Suns. There was no way MJ was going to walk away from that series without winning the championship. I loved Charles his whole career, and I can’t forget his despair when he was down on the floor with his head down when he knew they were going to lose. I really felt for him in that moment. Still hurts to think about that.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Me too. Though MJ was my favorite player i loved my hometown suns. They played their heart out too but MJ was just too much to handle

[@random_name-44]

I would have Sir Charles and Derek Fisher on the list if only for how they ruined my Spurs playoffs. Like they stab you in the heart and the gut at the same time, hah. It's fun to remember the good times, but man you never forget the ones that hurt most.

[@marcelelliott7554]

@J24J Well tbh if you go back and look M.J was robbed for MVP that year and when you look what you'll find is Barkley was the 3rd best player that year and won the MVP. If you don't wanna do ya research go look through Jimmyxhighrollers vids and you'll see a video where he talks about who was the real MVP of each season and how quite a few people throughout the years got robbed lol. So I think MJ took it personal when they gave Barkley that MVP tbh

[@realcoachescorner3503]

MJ, Bird, Kareem, Johnson, Thomas, Billups, Hamilton, Miller, Frazier, Logo West.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Nice shout out to Billups

[@RobertLegereIII]

lol dude has Billups on a list and no Kobe. This is objectively nonsense.

[@jimmybrooks2000]

Isiah is definitely one of the clutchest players ever. His 25 pts in the 4th quarter of a finals game is legendary. Also Timmy definitely should've gotten a quadruple double in that game. And I'm glad jonny at least has enough sense to not put lebum in the top 10

[@TheRealMindCrime]

that's true about IT. I forget about that sometimes. He did amazing things on one foot in the clutch

[@OlJackBurton]

that was the 3rd quarter. 11 points were on the bad ankle. you need more than 1 moment (losing) though. otherwise LeBron would be clutch immortal because of 29 of 30 team points in Game 5, 4th quarter and overtime win against Detroit in 2007 ECF...

[@jimmybrooks2000]

@@OlJackBurton That was a single moment I pointed out. Isiah Thomas has numerous clutch moments. Most people just don't know how clutch Isiah Thomas was

[@OlJackBurton]

@@jimmybrooks2000 i guess i might be one of those people then lol. i don't know a single signature truly clutch playoff moment/game from Isiah. it could very well exist. all that's really said about him is the sprained ankle game. but i don't consider a 3rd quarter explosion really clutch. the game is far from settled at that point. extremely gutsy yes it was. and he did put the team on his back and bad ankle. so he often carried such a heavy load despite being on a very deep team. they still lost in the 4th quarter (the clutch) with multiple opportunities to win (offense and defense) including the final possession. Isiah didn't come through then with the game hanging in the balance. maybe the 1988 ECF against Boston, especially Game 1. the 1989, 1990 and 1991 ECFs and 1988 2nd round against the Bulls were just ugly, if not dirty basketball imo, and Isiah didn't play particularly that well against Chicago in any of those series. but most of the Bulls also played poorly/ugly. that was just the way that the Pistons made you play. the rest of the of 1989 playoffs reminded me of the 2024 Boston entire playoffs, except the Pistons even got a huge injury break in the Finals as well with both Magic and Byron on torn hamstrings before the Finals even started. yeah, i know Luka was banged up, but the 2024 Celtics only had Porzingis for a couple games too. i guess the 1990 Finals against Portland, which was actually a lot closer than the 4-1 result would indicate. 3 of those wins were in the low single digits and he finally got his Finals MVP. but i don't see anything inevitable from Isiah like MJ was during practically his entire dual threepeats. MJ just had this inevitability around him during most of the 90s. he knew he was going to win, and the opposing team knew he was going to win and MJ knew the other team knew lol. or even the 13 points (all the team points too) in 33 seconds by T-Mac, which was the most clutch moment i've ever seen in NBA history even if it was just the regular season. that was will and clutchness over impossible odds and the basketball gods thankfully rewarded T-Mac and gifted us that moment...

[@jimmybrooks2000]

@@OlJackBurton In 1987 he scored a game winning layup on the hawks in the playoffs. In 1988 he hit a game winner on the bullets in the playoffs. In 1989 he scored 16 in the 4th quarter to eliminate the bulls. He hit a game winner to eliminate the nets in 1985. He has other games where he just turned it up a notch all the way through. The man was clutch

[@thesphyrth]

I got to watch that vid, and I also saw how in the comments Jonny was being torched by his fellow oldheads about Larry being put below Magic in that category.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Lol I won't torch him for his opinions. But I don't have to agree with all of em 😆

[@mrmeeks85]

I know he's not on the list but if my life is on the line I'm rolling with Horry lol

[@ericd1084]

He is my number 3.

[@2playschemeo.p.croutes724]

Horry did it for 10+ years too. From 94 with Houston to 07 with the Spurs. I put him at 3 cause he was never the team top player. Nor a number 2

[@TheRealMindCrime]

yeah Big Shot Bob killed ripped out everyones heart at some point

[@yournumberonepal]

I mean, you're probably better off with those high% snipers that do one thing and do it well, even if they aren't superstars.

[@mrho4speed]

Bird at #5 is an insult to Bird. Johnny is usually spot on with his lists but I disagree with this entirely. Especially with Magic at #3 = From Magic's book titled "Touch" pages 74-76 Magic himself about the last shot of a game wrote " Kareem was the 1st option, Jamaal 2nd and Norm 3rd. I was not ready. I was scared to go for it. For so many years I wasn't that guy. I just got crumbs, but that was cool; that was all I wanted. But that attitude caught up with me in 1984 when I had the low points in my career vs Boston in the Finals." This was after Magic had completed 5 seasons. Compare this to Bird = who was the go to player on Boston from day 1 and year 1. Johnny needs to fix this IMO. Magic also had a very poor playoff performance in the 1981 vs Houston = final game in LA and Magic shot 2 for 14 and was 6 of 11 with freethrows = missed 2 FT late in the game and on the last possession shot an air ball. In the 1983 Finals where LA got swept 4-0 Magic set an NBA record with 24 turnovers in 4 games and shot 40.3% . Compare these players to Bird who used to tell the opposing team and players that he was going to get the ball on the last play!!

[@billmorrison9068]

MJ, Kareem, Bird, Magic. Isiah, Steph, Durant, early DWade.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Oooh shout out to D Wade!

[@orlandowilliamson691]

3rd best SG ever people forget about him Bec of Kobe and Jordan. Dwade in his prime was on par with those guys!!

I just saw Bird at 5, unbelievable! Like what!?

[@Mvfasalways]

I love the fact that you have Kobe ranked number two thank you so very much dude again you’re one of my favorite KZbinrs. Thank you for recognizing his greatness. It’s sad how people have talked about him since he passed.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Absolutely! Thanks for being here since the beginning Mvf!

[@djyanno]

There is a lot of diffrent situations you mentionned in the video. Here would be my picks depending on the moment: 1. Less than one second, someone has to make a shot: Curry 2. My life depend on it: Curry 3. It's tie with less than 2 minutes: in order Jordan, Bird and Kobe 4. Less than 30 seconds, opponent have the ball: Jordan. Bird, Kobe, Russell 5. 1 game I MUST win at all price: Jordan So basically, one shot: Curry, any other situational game: Jordan

[@TheRealMindCrime]

I like that breakdown there. That's a good way to categorize it!

[@cnelsonlv99]

Agree completely... Curry has to be on this list, and I'm a very old school basketball fan. Not sure how he can be excluded from a clutch list.

[@KingKing-wr3vw]

That's crazy how the '96 Finals is considered a bad series due to Jordan's standards... Cuz 27 5 & 5 is damn good

[@TheRealMindCrime]

It is huh? Lol. Its just cuz every other finals he had godly numbers. This was the one time i remember him performing under his average in the finals.

[@KingKing-wr3vw]

@@TheRealMindCrime I know right... Like the 93 finals was insane numbers .. but I still give him the finals MVP in 96 though

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Oh for sure. In reality MJ only scored 3 less points than his average lol. We are just spoiled with MJ always blowing our minds lol. Easily still the mvp.

[@mattchooblink]

Good vid! I was watching the 2000 finals, and Reggie went 1/17 in game 1. Couldn’t believe it, he normally is so automatic. Thanks dude!

[@random_name-44]

God yes, please bring back the Supersonics. I'd like to see three more Canadian teams, if the cities would really support them. And I don't think it would dilute the league talent. There's plenty of talent worldwide to bring in a return of Seattle and more Canadian teams. In my head, every time I see that inbound steal by Bird, I imagine he said : F___ you , Bill., as he runs by Laimbeer. 😆 Oh, and #8: Timmy! 💖

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Lol awesome comment. Btw I'd love more Canadian teams

Another interesting documentaries about clutch : -kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5vLoHaonM2reA (first part of the video) -kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5vNiGSibrCdjrM Magic didn't really played the center position in his rookie final. He made the jumpball, then he didn't played postup like a classical center. He streatched a lot and changed position during the game.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

thank you!

[@ricosauve5]

I'm a Celtics fan but yeah Michael Jordan is number 1 on this list. In the height of Jordan's championship years, we weren't shocked when he made the game winner. We were shocked when he missed it. That's how clutch that man was. And as far as him being tired against the suns, the one thing that always impressed me about MJ was his ability to just will himself to another level no matter how tired or injured or sick he was. I've never seen that ability at that level in anyone else ever. All you could say is, he's Michael Jordan

[@TheRealMindCrime]

yeah, kobe, mj, bird being my top 3 I'd feel comfy with any of them taking that last shot.

[@kielmaguire5121]

I loved the sonics, i grew up 20 mins from Seattle (and I am 44 in a week) and all anyone needs to know about david stern is how he let the guy from Oklahoma buy a seattle team and swear he wouldn't move it. Then let him do it but then when seattle was trying to steal the kings (which i was against) he stepped in and stopped the owners with more money from doing it.

[@TrueBasketball23]

The list is great, maybe Kareem in the top 10. He was always the main option in the clutch as a center. And I disagree with Kobe. I would definitely put him top three. He always wanted it and took them, regardless the difficulty. Yet in general, great list. Loved it. Especially adding centres.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

I agree. The order is different than mine but Jonny had some on there that i didn't think about.

[@marcelelliott7554]

Alot of people don't know this about Bill Russell and they never point it out when they talk about him winning all those titles. Well out of those 11 titles only 2 of those titles was he the leading player on that team. The Celtics wasn't Bill Russell's team like MJ to the Bulls or Kobe to the Lakers. A few of those games Bill Russell was 3rd or less on those teams during those title runs. One of those title runs he was #7 on that Celtics team. However he was super duper dominant with rebounding. Bill Russell just happen to be on that team every time they won and there was another player who never gets mentioned who won 10 of those 11 titles with Bill Russell but the last 4 or 5 titles Havlicek was the leader of the Celtics and was their main reason for winning those titles.

Havlicek's greatest moment had to be game 7 of the 1965 eastern finals against the 76ers. That was on defense and he has many clutch shots. Sam Jones may have been the greatest clutch shooter or player in NBA history. Check out his game sevens performances for clutch shots and scoring games. Whether in game 7 or when the Celtics were behind in playoff series, he always brought them back. Joe Mangini.

"Hey Coop, they're gonna set a pick for me right here, and then I'll pop and stick it in your face!" In the Finals! Against the best defender in the league! Except for LeBron they all can do it, but Larry was the absolute best at it. For a decade the Celtics just needed to keep it close, Larry will get the W.

[@strygwyr5735]

Where do you put Steve Nash in this conversation? I remember him always carrying the suns during clutch moments back in 04, 05. We know how selective he is in taking shots. But if the game is close at 4th man is just carrying the suns

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Nash was definitely clutch on the offensive end but he was a detriment to us on the defensive end in clutch time so I can't have him on my top 10 but 20 probably. And he's one of my top 5 favorite players but I wanna be fair.

I heard Seattle and Vegas are getting a team and Minnesota and I think Denver would be moved to the eastern conference

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Denver moved to the east!??

[@ImNelzy]

@@TheRealMindCrime nvm not Denver I went and looked at the map lmao, it’ll be Memphis. Wolves and grizzlies would be moved to the eastern conference. If they did add Seattle and Vegas

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Ohhh interesting. Memphis being in the east would shake things up a bit

[@dragonray9450]

Nah Jordan before Bird in clutch performance, but I would have Bird in the top 5

[@TheRealMindCrime]

yeah that's a toss up for me. Life would be good to have either of them in that situation lol

[@isaiahminor5939]

dwayne wade is more clutch then most of those players mentioned

[@TheRealMindCrime]

D Wade is definitely a cold blooded killer in clutch time. I think he'd be in my top 10 personally

[@GermanicusCaesar117]

Maybe a hot take, but I don't think Dirk is all that clutch. And I'm saying this as someone who likes Dirk. Yes, he did play lights out in 2011 against LeBron (and D-Wade)'s Heat. But are we just going to forget that he was the guy who choked against the #8 seed Warriors? To this day that's still the biggest upset in playoff history by season record. He also blew a 2-0 lead against Wade's Heat in 2006. But I digress. It's not like Jonny has him in his Top 10, so I'm not gonna make too much of a big deal about it.

[@azrielnguyen9586]

Big no way from me. 1) MJ 2) Bird 3) Kobe Mister Russell does not make my list. He's a career sub 18 point scorer. He's not even #1 option on his team when the clock is winding down. By overboard with the flowers, you're setting him up to be disrespected. This is not his game.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

nice, we got the same top 3

[@abdullahimusahirsi395]

Kobe Bryant is the most clutch player this list is so of by far

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Kobe, MJ, Bird were are clutch killers

[@abdullahimusahirsi395]

@TheRealMindCrime right but kobe has the most game winners in nba history 37 and the most unassisted made shots in nba history faced top 5 defensive team in all 7 finals. 9 game winners in one season. He has the most 20 point 4th quarters , and he has the most 30 point quarters in nba history. Also, competition matters. Kobe has faced some of the top10 on ball defenders ever, Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier, Ron Artest Tony Allen, Dwade, kidd

[@rapgodreloaded9259]

KD has more failures in the playoffs than clutch moments. Steph Curry's more like Reggie Miller that makes big shots leading up to the clutch.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Yeah i think steph is very clutch and he proved it again in the olympics

[@rapgodreloaded9259]

@@TheRealMindCrime I was wrong about Curry not being clutch.

[@cnelsonlv99]

I'm old school... watching since the Dr. J era... but I don't see how you make a clutch list without Steph Curry on it. If you want a guy to take the shot with your life depending on it, how would you choose someone other than him? No player (other than Jordan) has ever attracted more defensive attention than Curry, and he's made some insanely clutch shots in his career. I'm not saying he's #1... but he's for sure in the top 10. Also... hard to agree with Magic being in the top 3. Top 10 I can understand, but 3? Nah!

[@TheRealMindCrime]

Thats true. Its impossible to make a top 10 for this lol. There are too many greats. Steph has proved it time and time again that he is clutch

[@cnelsonlv99]

@@TheRealMindCrime Yea, I posted my top 10, but had to leave out Mr. Clutch, which didn't feel right. I also think Wade and McGrady both have a case to be made, at least as honorable mention. I think Johnny's list is good, but disagreed with the order, like West and Magic a bit too high... Ray Allen too low, and Curry way too low.

[@inthegutterstaringathestars]

Clutch has to be the most romanticized and dumbest examples of nostalgic nonsense. Why would you gameplan for a last minute winning shot when you have, on average, between 95-106 possessions over 48 minutes that allow you to build a significant lead without any threat of losing? Clutch is just inefficient game management.

[@TheRealMindCrime]

I don't get it. End of quarter/game plays are always something practiced in every level of basketball. Sometimes you're down by 1 and you have to make the hard to choice of who's getting the shot. Its rare that someone not only hits it once but does it over and over again. If clutch didn't matter then the bulls were gonna lose the 98 finals. Same with the olympics this summer if not for steph being clutch

[@inthegutterstaringathestars]

@@TheRealMindCrime Where did I say that it is not important? However, does a last minute winner provide any extra points than a 2 or 3 pointer in the first 5 minutes of the game? It is nonsense because the gameplan is to win the game and what is the easiest way to win the game? Sensible game management. The most recent Celtics championship was a perfect example of this. If you have to rely on a last minute winner then it creates unnecessary drama. If the 98 Bulls or US olympic planned and executed better then they would not have been in the position that they required a clutch moment.
