What defines Kyrie as clutch outside of one really big shot?  I’m genuinely curious.

Ability to close the game .. not just one shot... I like to use the final 5 minutes of total efficiency ... We have seen it in the finals with Cleveland and are starting to see it already in Boston..

I just feel while he hasnt played as long as Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Magic etc .. His clutch performances are probably at a higher percentage than anyone during his total amount time played ..
just my 2 cents

I hear this a lot, which is why I asked.

Last year, his “clutch” numbers were terrible.

Other guys with horrible clutch numbers on this list: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Damian Lillard, DeMarcus Cousins, and Anthony Davis.

He'll be fine. He's shooting 56% in the clutch so far this season, and leads the league with 5.8 clutch points.

Yeah, he's doing more than fine this year.
"clutch" metrics suck.

some "clutch" metrics tell you Kobe Bryant wasnt very clutch
