ESPN's Weekend Dime displays clutch stats compiled by Elias Sports Bureau. These are whenever a player takes a shot in the last ten seconds of a game which is tied, or the shooting team is within three points.
In the past three seasons the top players in made shots respective to the above criteria are:
Most FGs Made In Clutch*, Past Three Seasons
Player FGs
Kobe Bryant 10-21
Dirk Nowitzk i8-13
Carmelo Anthony 8-16
Rudy Gay8-17
* Clutch defined as the last 10 seconds of a game tied or trailing by three or fewer
Obviously, Dirk has the best shooting percentage among the top producers with only Kobe making more of these shots.

Rep for the find.
Funny thing is, this is a great stat indicative of clutchness...but who will see it? Very few people. This is the type of thing I wish announcers would bring up in televised games rather than rhetoric.
