Kobe Bryant is the absolute most clutch player in the league today, hands down.

Kobe drove baseline and shot a baseline fadeaway over two with 1.9 seconds remaining to give the Lakers a win over the Toronto Raptors.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, when the game is on the line, there is NO ONE better than Kobe Bryant.
