  • what Posted: Feb.15 at 5:02 pm
    Bring it home Joe.

  • niQ Posted: Feb.15 at 5:02 pm
    That’s a nice list right there! I’m calling Ryan Anderson!

  • Red Posted: Feb.15 at 5:16 pm
    No korver?

  • robb Posted: Feb.15 at 5:18 pm
    I’m going with BlackboiPachino.

  • nice Posted: Feb.15 at 5:19 pm
    Jimmer would have been fun to watch.

  • Joey E. Posted: Feb.15 at 5:21 pm
    I would take Ryan Anderson(best swishes in the game), but can’t pick against Morrow in a 3P shootout. Can’t do it

  • Jayy Posted: Feb.15 at 5:21 pm
    No curry, Brandon rush, or klay thompson?!

  • Jose Posted: Feb.15 at 5:21 pm
    James Jones for the repeat!

  • LakeShow Posted: Feb.15 at 5:22 pm
    Mario Chalmers? Ehhh… I don’t care if he’s shooting 60%, he shouldn’t be in this competition. Should be Goudelocke. Kinda joking, kinda serious.

  • Joey E. Posted: Feb.15 at 5:25 pm
    ^i hear ya with Glock. maybe next year

  • JR Posted: Feb.15 at 5:26 pm
    Haha, Rob said it before I could. I can’t not laugh when I see Anthony Morrows twitter handle.

  • Heals Posted: Feb.15 at 5:36 pm
    WEAK and the 80′s is shaking it’s head at 2 PF’s competing…

  • Seth Posted: Feb.15 at 5:51 pm
    Mario Chalmers over guys like… RAY ALLEN?!

  • LA Huey Posted: Feb.15 at 5:52 pm
    James Jones. Only one without a twitter account and not playing significant minutes this year. This is the only thing he’s got to look forward to.

  • Mike Mihalow Posted: Feb.15 at 5:54 pm
    What morons decide these things?

  • Allenp Posted: Feb.15 at 5:54 pm
    Joe Johnson? Chalmers? interesting.

  • Caboose Posted: Feb.15 at 6:01 pm
    Ryan Anderson wins in a landslide in the first round but Jonesy makes it interesting in the second. (But Mario Chalmers? Really?)

  • DJHurriKane Posted: Feb.15 at 6:13 pm
    Where is my boy Ray Allen at?

  • the_unknown Posted: Feb.15 at 6:23 pm
    mario chalmers isn’t even the best 3 point shooter on his team.

  • deadbored Posted: Feb.15 at 6:31 pm
    Ray Allen, Brandon Rush, Kyle Korver, Steph Curry…….who picks this ish?

  • May me my moe moo Posted: Feb.15 at 6:40 pm
    Where is J.J. Redick?

  • LakeShow Posted: Feb.15 at 6:44 pm
    the_unknown, Nor is he the 2nd or 3rd best. But he is shooting 46% on the season so I don’t mean to hate on the pick.

  • the_unknown Posted: Feb.15 at 6:46 pm
    @LakeShow yea, that’s a good point.

  • robb Posted: Feb.15 at 6:47 pm
    True, Brandon Rush is missing. Dude shoots better from 3 than Dwight from the FT line.

  • nbk Posted: Feb.15 at 6:54 pm
    Only one of them in the top 20 in 3PT%…….

  • nbk Posted: Feb.15 at 7:00 pm
    Mario Chalmers hurt his hand last night though. I don’t know if anyone realizes that.

  • VanCityBBall Posted: Feb.15 at 7:54 pm
    i dunno about u guys but i thought jj redick would be in it

  • D12FSU Posted: Feb.15 at 8:01 pm
    why does miami get 2 players?! its in orlando! we want JJ!!!

  • jpm34 Posted: Feb.15 at 8:07 pm
    Got Mario winnin!! Rock chalk.

  • Dungeon Family Posted: Feb.15 at 8:19 pm
    I Can Bet anybody a 100 Mil That Joe Johnson Underachieve In this One

  • AD Posted: Feb.15 at 9:06 pm
    anthony morrow droped 42 this year……

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Feb.15 at 9:25 pm
    Would have liked to see the Jimmer in this. lol @ blackboipachino.

  • megatron Posted: Feb.15 at 9:25 pm
    morrow or jones

  • nbk Posted: Feb.15 at 9:34 pm
    Ryan Anderson should prolly be the favorite. Shooting is effortless for him. He’s also not reliant on a rhythm like everyone in this not named James Jones.

  • Mariano Posted: Feb.15 at 10:00 pm
    Lol robb killed me

  • CoolWhip Posted: Feb.15 at 10:24 pm
    Maybe the most unexciting 3 Point Group ever.
    Klay Thompson will win this thing at least three times before his career is over.

  • The White Steve Smith Posted: Feb.15 at 10:27 pm
    Wheres Metta World Peace? This is a travesty. I wont be tuning in.

  • Dre Baller Posted: Feb.15 at 10:28 pm
    Steve Novak needs to be in this

  • The Philosopher Posted: Feb.15 at 10:59 pm
    Anderson.
    Usually, the guy who’s bigger, stronger does well.

  • DruNyce Posted: Feb.15 at 11:52 pm
    Whoever choose this group should be relieved of their duties.

  • niQ Posted: Feb.16 at 12:12 am
    Yea, just noticed they left out Novak and JJ Redick…

  • golakeshow Posted: Feb.16 at 12:31 am
    no steve blake?

  • Caboose Posted: Feb.16 at 1:35 am
    Ideal group: Anderson, Redick, Allen, Rush, Love, and Jimmer.

  • IAMORANGE4EVER Posted: Feb.16 at 1:37 am
    Steve Novakaine Novak would have been a great addition to the 3-Point contest.

  • Dingo Rob Posted: Feb.16 at 1:43 am
    Go Kevin Love – not the best shooter out of this group but he is in with a chance so that’s enough to have hope.

  • #6marjon Posted: Feb.16 at 3:19 am
    kevin love is clutch but a reliable 3shooter? no

  • #6marjon Posted: Feb.16 at 3:42 am
    I wanna see the Red Rocket

  • hugo Posted: Feb.16 at 3:49 am
    dirk probably asked not to be selected……

  • davidR Posted: Feb.16 at 3:54 am
    STEPHEN CURRY.

  • l2ising Phoenix Posted: Feb.16 at 3:59 am
    Novak, snub… Just like Shumpert…..

  • cinquet Posted: Feb.16 at 4:08 am
    KEVIN LOVE? WTF

  • Tim Posted: Feb.16 at 4:22 am
    No World Peace? C`mon man!

  • actionslackson Posted: Feb.16 at 4:49 am
    Where’s Ray Allen…cmon? Did he decline?

  • Niyagirlfresh Posted: Feb.16 at 6:13 am
    No Ray Allen? I agree with Mario Chalmers though.

  • Gman Posted: Feb.16 at 8:38 am
    Where the hell is the best 3pt shooter of all time?

  • Jajajake Posted: Feb.16 at 8:39 am
    The RED ROCKET, MATT BONNER!!

  • Bravo Posted: Feb.16 at 8:49 am
    I say Anthony morrow gonna win. Al of you sleeping on him!!

  • David M. Posted: Feb.16 at 9:20 am
    Great list. They should’ve added James Harden and Matt Bonner too.

  • DeeDre Posted: Feb.16 at 9:30 am
    Its gonna be between K Love and Morrow. Mark my words. And its not about who they decide to come, its about who wants to participate and in an event like this you have no room to be picky

  • tonsoffunk Posted: Feb.16 at 11:50 am
    Dudes… I know why they decided not to put in the jimmer, but heck, who doesn’t want to see what the kid’s made of?!!!

  • DJ Posted: Feb.16 at 1:50 pm
    JOE JOHNSON.

  • albie1kenobi Posted: Feb.16 at 7:14 pm
    where’s jeremy lin?

  • Big Balls Smalls Posted: Feb.16 at 8:39 pm
    Jodie Meeks shoulda been in this

  • T-Ray Posted: Feb.17 at 11:31 am
    No love for Walter Ray in a 3 point contest?! Life has no meaning smh
