Call Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo Mr. Perfect.  He absolutely earned that nickname during Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.

Midway through the third quarter of the contest, Antetokounmpo banked a three over Zach LaVine to cut Team Durant's lead to just two points, 25-23. Interestingly, the shot also marked the Greek Freak's 16th attempt from the field and 16th made shot–maintaining his perfect performance.

While the NBA All-Star Game has never been known for defense, it's still a pretty amazing feat for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Most of his shots, of course, came from inside the paint with dunks. However, he also made three 3-pointers, including the one in the third quarter.

Antetokounmpo no longer scored after that, as he finished with 35 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. This performance earned him his first NBA All-Star Game MVP–aptly named the Kobe Bryant trophy.

It sure looked like Giannis enjoyed his fifth NBA All-Star Game appearance. With his help, Team LeBron raised $1.25 million for their chosen charity.

For what it's worth, even though there is initial rejection from players about the All-Star Game–with Giannis even speaking out against holding the annual showcase amid the pandemic–it's pretty clear the players made the  most of the opportunity.
