Regular season -- .840
Playoffs -- .812
Nobody is guarding you at the free throw line, so it doesn't really matter who the opponent is. It's just you, the crowd, and your thoughts. Seems as if Kobe had a magical "clutchiness" trait, certainly it would kick in at the free throw line during the playoffs.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You are the only person who is labeling it as a magical trait. No one else is in this thread. The definition you are creating for us is not the same as the one we are using.

That's fine that you (or anyone else in the thread) aren't. But plenty of people think of "clutch" in that way.
