After what I watched yesterday..should be the whole Blazers team
🚨🚨ISAIAH JOE SNUB🚨🚨
HOW DO YOU LEAD THE NBA IN 3PT% AND NOT GET A SPOT IN THE 3PT CONTEST??
League wanted a competitive contest so they didn’t invite Isaiah Joe
Event of the night. Sleeper money on Red Velvet, but Haliburton and Buddy could surprise
Isaiah Joe robbed
Seeing Haliburton’s release 25 times is gonna be so fun
No Minivan Georges Niang?!
more stars doing the 3 point contest than the dunk contest
welp dame time
Damn those are actually some amazing participants
wanted Al Horford so bad
No one from the best 3pt shooting team in the league.
RJ Barrett snubbed
JT sucked last time he did it, should’ve been Hauser.
DeAndre Jordan is shooting 100% from 3, why did he not make it?
Redeem yourself Tatum
Crazy how the 3 point contest is so much more entertaining than the dunk contest now.
KCP got snubbed.
Lmao Fox really did leak Huerter being in it
Dang, I wanted to see Isaiah Joe but no complaints with any of these participants.
Buddy v Dame that’s gonna be nice
This lineup would be a more exciting dunk contest than the dunk contest lineup
This will be lightyears ahead in quality compared to what will probably be a dumpster fire of a dunk contest
Simons squad rise up
Icy Joe snubbed. :((((
Lol no KCP
Haliburton’s release is mad slow… I dunno how that’s gonna work
Pistons GM: But…we thought Haliburton couldn’t shoot.
I’d love to see a 3pt contest of former contest winners and historically great shooters. I wanna see Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, and JJ Reddick go up against Curry and Lillard. Bring back Marco Bellinelli. Obviously it wouldn’t be a fair contest but it’d at least be fun
Feel weird without Curry and Thompson. At least we are getting actual all star participate
Hell yea Tyler
dame’s my favorite player after Kobe
my money’s on buddy
2-time
I hope Markkanen wins
I wanna see Donovan in this to have a shot at both a 3P title AND a dunk title
Desmond Bane and his biceps didn’t get an invite?
Dame is gonna win this thing if they put Paul George in to defend him on every attempt
LAURI BIRD COMING TO CLAIM HIS CROWN
Lauri!!!
A lot of criticism about the top shooters by percentage not making it but you should account for difficulty. Getting 4 open catch and shoot threes is going to lead to a higher percentage than taking 10 shots with much more defensive attention. The only guys in the top 10 in percentage who takes 5 or more threes are Curry and Bane.
Last year PJ Tucker was hitting 45% of his threes at the break, didn’t mean he was a top shooter in the league, rather he was getting wide open corner shots.
Move Dame’s racks back an extra five feet and he’ll make every shot.
DAMION LEE SNUBBBBB
Was kind of hoping Keegan Murray was going to be in it too! Guy is such a good outside shot. Glad Kevin is in though !
i’m calling it now. Huerter vs Lauri the finals
Man I miss red velvet
Pleasantly surprised to see Tatum and Lauri. We need to give forwards more credit as shooters too
A summary: the #1 seed in the west got 1 all star. The #1 three point shooting team in the league didn’t get a single player in the 3 point contest, and Aaron Gordon didn’t make the dunk contest.
