Is Haliburton Entering the beginnings of legendary clutch status?

[Mr. Friscus]

Before I start, I know I’m jumping the gun a bit. However, this guy has provided more clutch moments in one playoff run that I’ve seen in either decades of watching or even ever. It’s insane.

I saw Kobe hit daggers in LA
I saw MJ hit some daggers against Utah (and miss a lot through this playoff history too )
I saw Lebron daggers in Orlando, Chicago, Indiana, etc.
I saw Big Shot Rob on Houston, LA, and San Antonio
I saw “Mr. Big Shot” Chauncey Billuos in that 2004 finals run
I saw Reggie Miller in New York
I was too young for “Mr. Clutch” Jerry West

I’m not making an outright proclamation, but Haliburton throughout this runs reminds me of some of the biggest clutch guys in history. He is so impressive in big moments. Let’s see how this finals plays out but.. wow

At least this playoff he has now passed Brunson as THE clutch player.

Lebron had a couple key postseasons but 2018 was pretty crazy. He had two buzzer beaters and basically 5 game winners. His clutch shooting percentage in the final minute of the fourth quarter was an impressive 83% (5-for-6) on shots to tie or take the lead. Specifically, he hit a game-winning buzzer-beater against the Pacers in Game 5, and another against the Raptors in Game 3.

"Since the 1997 postseason, Haliburton's five go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of games are tied with Pacers legend Reggie Miller and trailing only Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James"

Haliburton still has the rest of the Finals to cement his clutch playoff run
