Video: Kobe Bryant is still clutch because he's still Kobe Bryant

Very important and shocking newsflash: Kobe Bryant(notes) remains good at making clutch shots during important basketball games. Saturday night, during Game 6 of the Western Conference finals, he submitted example No. 5,992 and, in effect, iced the series-clinching game. Then he gave Phoenix Suns coach Alvin Gentry a nice parting gift.

Confirmation of clutch status obtained. Please refresh your dossiers and carry on as necessary.
Also, as FreeDarko's Bethlehem Shoals notes, that tap on Gentry's booty will go down in history as Kobe Bryant's version of the legendary Michael Jordan shrug. We'll see that more than a few times in the coming years and about a million times between now and Thursday night's first game of the NBA Finals. Might as well add that to the dossier as well.
