Dude. 10 shots doesn’t mean anything. Steph Curry has taken over 2,000 playoff shots.
Two tho…
I’m wasting my time.
Whatever dude. Believe what you want.
Steph being an all time bricklayer in the clutch needs to be discussed.

Okay and those 2000 shots don't speak the reliability of the player when asked to take the lead in the last minute of the game, a responsibility tasked to the best players on the court.
The 10 highlighted, do. So, they speak not to his whole career, but an aspect of it that can and will be compared to his peers.
It's not about belief, it's reality.

LeBron getting a reputation for not being clutch was fukking wild. It shows how far the media will take narratives with literally nothing behind them. His first six years in the NBA, he hit more game-winning or game-tying shots (17) than any other player in the league, and at a higher % than most of them too.

And in the playoffs he was even better:
First postseason (to ECSF):
Averaged 36-8-6 on 51% shooting (38% threes) in his very first playoff series ever.
Won 3 of their 4 games by 1 point, hitting game-winners in Game 3 and Game 5
Took the champion Pistons team to 7 in the next round with Iglauskas as his #2.
Second postseason (to Finals):
Goes to his first ECF and puts together a 48 point Game 5 in a must-win game.
Hits the go-ahead and game-tying buckets in the last 30 seconds of regulation of Game 5 and then the game-winner in overtime.
Reaches the Finals with Boobie Gibson as his #2
Third postseason (to ECSF):
Put up a 45-point Game 7 against the 66-win champ Celtics with Iglauskas as his #2.
Fourth postseason (to ECF):
Averaged 39-8-8 in the ECF trying to beat the Magic 1 on 5.
Hit a game-winning 3pt buzzer-beater in Game 2 of the ECF to keep the Cavs alive.
Hit two free throws with 0.5 seconds left in Game 4 to force overtime, then hit a 3pt with 4 seconds left to cut the deficit to 1.
Bron hadn't even turned 25 yet at that point. He'd already been to four postseasons, won 7 series, hit 5 game-tying or game-winning shots in the playoffs plus a game-tying pair of free throws, had multiple classic big games in clutch moments, won as a huge underdog once and pushed championship squads to 7 as a huge underdog twice, and had never once been sent home by anything less than a Finals squad.
How the hell do you build a "not clutch" narrative out of that?
