Over the course of his 19-year NBA career, Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has hit quite a number of clutch shots down the stretch of close games.

During his Lakers’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, February 5, Bryant hit a big 3-pointer with a little under a minute left to extend his team’s lead to 6, 98-92.
