Giannis Antetokounmpo is clearly on his way to superstardom.

The Milwaukee Bucks point-forward is the current leading vote-getter for the All-Star game after the first returns were made public recently. He has MVP buzz and is lighting up the league with ridiculous play after ridiculous play after ridiculous play.

One of the main criticisms of his game thus far is his shooting. In his young career, Antetokounmpo has not yet developed a jump shot. It can be argued that his skill set does not account for one, but it would still be good to have because it would make him that much harder to guard.

That being said, superstars all seem to have one thing in common: They all want the ball in clutch moments of the game. When things are tight and the contest is on the line, superstars want to shoot the last shot, or make a play to get to the line or get a shot for their teammates.

Well, it appears that Giannis Antetokounmpo can tick off that item on his superstar checklist. He is shooting an incredibly-efficient percentage on clutch shots this season, per Dean Maniatt of All the Bucks.

The NBA defines clutch moments as the last five minutes of regulation and all overtimes in which the point differential between two teams is five points or less. Which means that the bucks star is making baskets when it matters most, and doing so at a high clip.

Thirty shots in the clutch is not a small amount, either. So the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo has made 20 of them is a big deal.
