De'Aaron Fox wins NBA's inaugural Clutch Player of the Year
- Thread starter Mad D
- Start date
damn this thread is wild, there's literally a definition for clutch - 5 minutes or less separated by 5 points or less. One player completely dominated this category. Kyrie had more game winners and 4th quarter points and probably deserved runner up. Fair case for Herro who was "most efficient" in the clutch. But Fox pretty much lead every other measure by a mile, including total points scored and was top 3 in any other category.
I have another question, will winning this award boost Swipa’s ratings in NBA 2K23 and 24? 
Me thinks a lot of online players will be taking the KINGS hoping to capitalize on #5’s clutch abilities….

Next year I expect his regular card to be much higher. Mostly by virtue of him landing on the 3rd team all NBA.
Reddick has come around on the Kings. Perkins too.
I'll buy RJ and Kenny though. Sucks because RJ was a favorite wildcat of mine and I loved Kenny when he played in Sac. Absolutely robbed in the dunk contest almost as bad as Wallace. I don't know Amin's deal.
I feel like the non-votes are probably from mid-market nobodies that voted for "their" guys instead of treating an award with the respect it deserves.

I don't know about that entirely, but this award was fairly clear cut. The NBA had recognized a definition of clutch and Fox lead just about every measurable metric and was in the top 3 or so of the others. I think Kyrie had the most game winning shots and he was 12th!
To me it's kind of like voting on "rebound champ" or "scoring champ". This time it was staring you in the face. It's not 100% subjective like MVP is, either have an algorithm do it or get rid of the official clutch definition.
