Another game losing turnover for Kobe Bryant?
No matter. Soon to be forgotten along with all the rest of his game losing blunders. How many Laker fans already want to brag about the game tying 3 he made after having gone 5-17 before that?
How long does this story have to continue before we dispel the myth of Kobe Bryant's clutchness?
30 game winning shots? You have data to back that up? Didn't think so.

That's getting a little out dated, but it shows Kobe's actual achievements in game winning situations compared to other players. Take a look at his low assists, high turnovers, low shooting percentage... Nobody looking at that objectively would surmise Kobe was anything special. You believe he is clutch because that's what the media reports.
Don't you see, man? They're creating a hero for you to help sell their product. And you're buying it hook line and sinker.
