20 Most Clutch Players in the NBA right now

#1 LeBron James

LeBron James

Gimme LeBron James in the clutch. Does he have the Mamba Mentality? No. Does he have the killer instinct of Jordan? No. Can you bank on him to make the right play in the Clutch? Hell yeah.

If this list was being made before Cleveland won the Championship, then LeBron probably wouldn't even be in the top 5. Winning the chip for Cleveland has removed pressure from his shoulders and he is playing more freely. Before in his career, he was not able to close out games regularly, but this year it has been different. With Irving gone, James is taking over the clutch and is closing out teams. Even last year, he was shooting extraordinary from the field in the clutch, but closing out was mostly done by Irving. This year it's all James!
