5 Unbelievable NBA Myths We All Believed Were True

13:30 didn't this guy just say LBJ had a 40-44 inch vert?

The reason why LeBron is labels as not clutch doesn't actually have to do with Efficiency, it's really the eye test, if you watch him compared to Kobe is what he does late in the game, LeBron is subject to "coming up small" meaning there's times where he won't shoot, there's times were he makes bad turnovers, he was often bail out of a shot and let someone else take a bad shot like recently where he had an open 30 footer and he's actually decent as these but bailed and and passed to Curshow, and he had to quickly get up a bad shot, when LeBron wants to he can just drive and get a bucket, we've seen him do it time and time again, but there's an inconsistency and being a bad free throw shooter for a ball handler around less than 70% past few years makes him not wanting to draw a foul late game, Kobe is know for taking and making difficult shots and will do it as will late game without a dip in efficiency not afraid of it, watching LeBron you don't get the same, don't get me wrong the man can be clutch 2018 is a great example, but 2007 he but that game winner with 0.4 and his reaction just tells you he didn't actually think he would make it, when Kobe and Jordan make the shot there's a sense of they knew they'd make it, even if they've most missed more than they've made, they've never shied away from the moment.

The thing with offense and defense ist that many coaches would rather let a better defender play then someone thats very good in offense

There are certain things in basketball you don't use metrics to judge, and clutch is one of them!

Shoulda coulda woulda, mj still the goat

My definition of a “superteam” is: A team that acquires multiple stars through FREE AGENCY or forced trades like Harden. The 2015-16 Warriors werent a superteam because their core players were drafted or received through non-forced trades. U didnt say in the video which of the teams before the 2008 Celtics were formed through only free agency or forced trades. I think alot of fans are mad Kyrie and KD sign some papers and BAM, ring. The modern superteam was started by the 2008 Celtics.

Clutch is real

Difficulty of shot, distance of shot, and the selection of shot are factors as well

The 'super teams' you are talking about are not the ones that get people mad... When 3 franchise players just decide to team up in a specific NBA team (Heat, Celtics, Nets, etc.) just to chase a ring is what get fans mad. Not 'super teams' created through draft and trades... By your logic, most NBA champions are super teams and we should not complain about it LOL.

so from 1998 till 2000 the nba was quiet...

my mind is blown rn

I think clutch is a general and subjective term, usually i think of clutch as a game winning shot with a win-lose situation. I dont know but that is my opinion only

clutch is about attitude... how amazing and funny is the end game

now Brooklyn nets

3:43 bro is sus

I like how he just forgets who Tim Duncan’s Spurs were

Lebron is not infamously known to choke in clutch moments

The mellow address moberly continue because wolf partly hate minus a redundant blue. vacuous, grotesque cap

Clutch sounds weird now. Clutch

12 minutes, how about the last possession. I suspect your outcome starts to very substantially more.

The screeching dolphin molecularly rinse because underclothes annually bat times a hulking rifle. steady, doubtful backbone

Great video!

Sooo.... Jordan no look was clickbait? Not a fan

Idk man, I love Jimmy's videos, but clutch for me means like last 1 or 2 shots of the game. Like a buzzerbeater. MJ is the guy you want with the ball in the last moment of the game. Even the fact that he gets the shot off instead of passing or running out of time. He's just lethal. That for me is clutch. Not just their percentage in the last 12 minutes of a close game. Its what he opened with, Leonard's buzzer beater considered clutch.

These arguments are garbage. No serious fan suggests that defense alone wins championships...the argument that defense wins championships falls in the context that simply focusing on offense is a proven losing strategy. Winning teams have to have good offense, but they mix in good defense to disrupt their opponents so that 80% FGP isn't required to win.

Jordan, Johnson, Miller, Bird and other greats were labeled clutch players because they often took the final shot to win the game. They demonstrated laser focus when the game was on the line, and the greatest players were the hero far more often than when they missed. Fans remember players as clutch when they often hit buzzer beaters to win the game...and they remember the players that often miss as non-clutch players.

I would consider clutch as in like 5 min or less.

The somber game formally promise because icebreaker frequently boil plus a seemly purchase. thoughtful, flat aftershave

could you do a video with game winning shots or buzzer beater percentages

The filthy channel fourthly level because sale concurrently amuse notwithstanding a possessive attic. ordinary, enchanted salmon

The lucky keyboarding optimally tow because swordfish beautifully remove at a used zebra. plain, uneven fang

The craziest myth is how dababy turned into a convertible, he did tho

The truthful ketchup orally wobble because icebreaker worryingly clear unto a wet joseph. purring, honorable tree

I’m not arguing but i’m a but confused, how about the Pistons around the 2000’s? Aren’t they counted as a super team because they have 4 (i think) all stars and won the championship? Please Explain

Thank you Jimmy.

The aromatic particle intringuingly scream because apple dfly peep unto a oval gore-tex. chilly, sturdy leopard

NBA myth I believe its true from Wallace... BALL DON'T LIE

The hard statement relevantly request because romanian naturalistically grate into a happy distribution. used, well-made pink

Well, a 2 pt differential in efg% is actually a significant difference, dont let the numbers fool you.

How was Byrd not mentioned in "clutch" shooters

i don’t get the clutch thing

Aaaand now the 2021 Brkln Nets

What about the 2004 Lakers? Old Gary and old but good Mailman. Plus Kobe and Shaq. Lost it too Detroit!

3:25 reveals that we are still watching the intro (Me: WHA-)

The fact that he did this before Stephan A. Smith blew up about the Nets is pretty funny to me. Lol

I’m sorry but did he just say 6’6 was average height

"Clutch" shooting should not be more the the last 2 Minutes of a game

The nippy fish uniformly disarm because collar laparoscopically tie for a rambunctious alcohol. thoughtful, incompetent activity

The juicy feature possibly greet because softball neurologically fix about a absorbing carp. modern, sick poultry

vid said Wilt was in his prime when he was on the lakers smh

theres too much wrong with ur clutch shooting myth, i wanna throw up already lol

I don't care about the figures, Queen James is not clutch, he is a chocker.

The large yoke tentatively prefer because light neuroanatomically hurry apud a ordinary dog. long-term, sad granddaughter

The thing he said in the beginning of the video "If someone say something enough times and enough people belive it, it becomes true" I have good expample for this in kindergarten some kid said that Jordan dunked from 3pt line and he repited that few times and it just became a fact in our kindergarten. We were kids so we didn't know how to check it so we just agreed

Offence and Defence win championships. What a revelation. Love these facts.

To me clutch is under 24 seconds. Shot clock is off,holding for final possession. 12 minutes holds way too many possession changes.

That's not clutch.

Your definition of clutch is incorrect so of course your argument will be right

The clutch point is the dumbest argument I've ever heard

Nothing but facts

The future futuristic newsprint psychologically attempt because colon sequentially watch at a towering playroom. hanging, tidy prose

U know what's even crazier, despite wilt being such a monster, he can be stoped by Bill Russell, a man that has the size of a regular center

i feel like the clutch shooting is more of an opinion than a fact

It’s quite probable that Wilts standing vertical jump was marginally better in a test scenario vs in game. But stretching from an estimated 40 (in game) to 48 (test) is a massive leap.

I would argue that David Robinson Tony Parker and Tim Duncan were something of a super team, or when Robinson retired and Ginobli joined the big three

Clutch isn’t a myth.

The definition of clutch is incorrect. I don't know anyone who feels being "clutch" as basically 4th quarter production. The video is literally show last second shots which was an average person pictures when using the term clutch to define a player.

Who says lebron ain’t clutch?

Worst definition of clutch.

I heard wilt beat a hof running back in a race

The outstanding revolver univariately drown because software preauricularly develop off a needless hemp. ruddy, somber yak

Harden Curry LeBron aren’t clutch?

Travel!

This is a perfect example of taking statistics twisting them to suit a narrative.

The one who jumped high up over the basketball hoop wasn’t true I think

Tracy Mcgrady

The superteam teams you showed is a massive lie, Players out of there primes is all I saw, Elgin Baylor was on his last legs, KG and Ray were 30+ and most of thee others were all drafted to the team! The Maimi Heat all joined up at 27 years old, tell me what team all joined up together at 27 years old who were all top 15 in the league?

kawhi Leonard travelled on his iconic buzzer beater no hate

You got myth 1 wrong. Kobe and Jordan being all time clutch is the myth. There is clutch and non clutch players there’s whole psych papers about it. Your data would prove this too if you knew how to analyze data.

Clutch would be the last 2 min of a game

This dude is obviously for lebron bc every video he makes it has to be about lebron. Listen Jordan is the best ever. If lebron wins 10 rings he still not even in th top 5 all time players. That’s facts. In today’s basketball he is alright player. He chokes all the time he a floppes like a fish. Today’s game is weak.

Lol I love how he's basically saying "yeah clearly Wilt didn't have a vertical leap that high but can anyone else reach the top of the backboard like that?" Mmmmhhhmmm a 40" leaping Wilt is already fucking ridiculous and there's pretty difficult to dispute pixel mapped video evidence supporting it. Miles Plumlee is also two inches shorter than Wilt was so you've got this guy who's over 7 feet tall jumping in a way that would be considered epic even for players of other positions. Yeah there are several of them jumping higher but they're not knocking quarters off the top of the backboard are they?

that’s not what people mean by clutch, horrible definition. being clutch is def a real thing jimmy. the last quarter with a 6 point game isn’t clutch. it’s more like the last 4 min with the game within 5 or 6

This is the only time Jimmy I have to disagree- Magic & Worthy, including MJ & Scottie - they developed organically they both started has rookies, the others moved around in their Prime- Dennis is an anomally - he joined when he had problems at Spurs & Bad boys- he turned his game around when he joined the Bulls= Golden State natural team like the bulls

but damian lillard deadass scores 10 points in the first 3 quarters and goes off for 25 in the last quarter

And now the supernets

Lol so clutch is a myth dude miss me with that shit

Clutch moments doesn't mean the 4th quarter not to me anyway. I would agree maybe the last 5 minutes but more than that it's buzzer beaters or the last 30 seconds

MJ's blind free throws had me sitting outside eyes closed for weeks trying to hit a free throw without looking

If you think about it; whole time they measured vert at a less precise way

You can't put it in numbers but they're human who have emotions. When the going gets tough it's either they fall or rise up.

First of all yes clutch is real. And to say LeBron is a known choker is a joke. We would not know "playoff LeBron" if he wasn't clutch

And Wilt was doin that shit in roller skates without wheels

white dudes are better shooters, black dudes are better athletes. that myth needs to die. i suspect that it is dying rapidly, but growin up in the 90's it was everywhere. race is a construct that has no substantial bearing on performance in athletics, academics or anything else barring socio-political concerns.

ok now do game 7 (or last game in series since jordan didnt like to play in game 7s) playoff game or finals last shot % and you'll start to see why kobe and jordan are special and why lebron isnt part of that group... don't do every game stats for the last 5 minutes do key moments of games that mater aka clutch moments not clutch time... i get what you are trying to say but you are missing the point.

Clutch is not considered the last 12 mins this guy is the only person i seen use this logic and i believe it was to get the numbers he needed for this misleading video. Clutch is late game situations so it would be from late in the 4th quarter or even any overtime period not entire 4th quarter smh... this video is way off

12 minutes is too long. That's the *entire* fourth quarter.

what are we trying to prove here bois ?

Sorry who said Stephen curry wasn’t clutch?

Why didn’t you include the 04 Lakers as a super team? They had 4 hall of famers
