Ranking of 60 key players in NBA!

The famous media NBA University released statistics on the key ball ability of NBA players, among which James hit the most key balls, while Durant, Curry and others, although famous, can only be considered medium-level. Westbrook's key ball ability is simply terrible. Let's take a look at the detailed statistics in detail.

Before this, let's take a look at the majority of fans, the key ball player who recognizes in their hearts, only look at the game impression, not the data. There is no doubt that when it comes to key ball ability, except Jordan, I believe most people will mention Kobe, Durant, Curry and others, including O'Neal, McGrady and others, who have said that if they choose the last shot, they will give the ball to Durant. Of course, some people have also said Curry and Kobe.

So from the perspective of data, what is the result? University summarizes the 60 best players who made key shots in NBA playoff games since 1997, with the horizontal axis indicating the number of shots and the vertical axis indicating the scoring efficiency.

James scored the most key goals and scored the most.

James scored more than 460 points in his career. The specific number should be around 500 points, which is more than 100 points more than Kobe, who ranked second. However, the shooting efficiency is slightly lower than the average level, and the real shooting rate is around 53%. The reason why his efficiency is relatively low is mainly due to the influence of the Lakers. Since James joined the Lakers, he has basically not scored many key goals. Although he has made a lot of shots, he has made very few shots, which has also led to a decline in his overall efficiency. The Heat and the Cavaliers period were his peak. At that time, he was very powerful to kill the Pacers and the Raptors.

Kobe's teammates have the strongest key ball ability

In most people's impression, whether it is NBA players or fans, they all think that Kobe's key ball ability is very strong, but in fact, Kobe does have many key balls to shoot, scoring about 380 points in total, but his real shooting percentage is also around 53%. Still below average.

Kobe's teammates are really strong in key goals, with a total of 4 players on the list, namely Horry, Gasol, Fisher and O'Neal.

Horry can be said to be not strong in his career, but his key abilities are strong. He relies on this skill to make a living. In the finals from 2000 to 2001, Horrij Kobe passed the ball, hit a key 3 points, and secured the victory. In the 2001-02 season, Horry made another final victory in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals! And his real shooting percentage of key balls is far higher than others, and he is unique.

In addition to Horry, Fisher and Gasol's real shooting percentage of key balls is also at the top level. O'Neal is also very good. Although it is not very high, it is higher than Kobe. No wonder the Lakers can win so many championships. They can't defend themselves at all when they play against them, and they don't know who to defend.

Harden is underestimated

If you don't look at the data, in your impression, Harden is always soft at critical moments. Although Harden's leading ability, scoring ability, and organizational ability in his career are very outstanding, leaving a very deep impression on people, every time he reaches critical moments, Harden will lose his links. However, according to statistics, Harden's real shooting percentage of key balls is close to 60%, and the number of shots is also among the top 10. His performance is relatively excellent.

Durant, overestimated

In comparison, Durant's performance is a bit overestimated. If there is no such data, if it is not for a street interview, I believe 80% of people think that the last shot should be given to Durant. However, according to statistics, Durant's real hit rate is lower than Kobe and James, between 51 and 52%, and the number of hits is smaller. On the contrary, in the small forward position, former Celtic legend Pierce is a better key gentleman than him, but maybe if he throws this answer to Pierce, I believe Pierce will choose Durant.

Murray is much better than Jokic

I believe that fans who often watch NBA know that when it comes to Jokic, it is definitely an invincible existence, but this is a fact. But no matter how strong Jokic is, Murray still needs to play the key goal of the Nuggets. Murray ranks second in this list, close to 63%, while Yokic only has about 51%. Therefore, people often think that Yokic has no helper, but on the other hand, the Nuggets are likely to not win that championship without Murray.

Westbrook is terrible? Westbrook's key ball ability may not be very good, but he did not expect that his key ball ability is outrageously poor. Basically, the real hit rate of 45% is the lowest, but Westbrook's real hit rate is around 40%. To give an example of a more vivid image, the worst part of these 60 players is electric cars. Westbrook is like Didi Qingju, or like a small yellow car. Everyone has arrived home, and he is still on the road.

Of course, this list cannot 100% reflect a player's key ball ability, because from the overall perspective, the role players perform better and have a higher real shooting rate, while some superstars perform poorly, including James, Kobe, Durant, Wade, Duncan, and Jokic, all of which are below average. This also shows that superstars encounter greater defensive intensity at critical moments, so their shooting rate will definitely be low. In short, this statistics can illustrate some problems, but they cannot explain all problems.

The following list is ranked by fans. Compared with the above data statistics, who is more accurate?
