    Bring it home Joe.

  • http://redoftoothandclaw.ca/ niQ

    That’s a nice list right there! I’m calling Ryan Anderson!

  • http://www.nba.com Red

    No korver?

  • robb

    I’m going with BlackboiPachino.

  • nice

    Jimmer would have been fun to watch.

  • http://dodgers.com Joey E.

    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

    No curry, Brandon rush, or klay thompson?!

  • Jose

    James Jones for the repeat!

  • http://slamonline.com LakeShow

    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.

  • http://dodgers.com Joey E.

    ^i hear ya with Glock. maybe next year

  • JR

    Haha, Rob said it before I could. I can’t not laugh when I see Anthony Morrows twitter handle.

  • Heals

    WEAK and the 80′s is shaking it’s head at 2 PF’s competing…

  • http://staticseth.blogspot.com/ Seth

    Mario Chalmers over guys like… RAY ALLEN?!

  • LA Huey

    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

    What morons decide these things?

  • http://slamonline.com Allenp

    Joe Johnson? Chalmers? interesting.

  • http://Slamonline.com Caboose

    Ryan Anderson wins in a landslide in the first round but Jonesy makes it interesting in the second. (But Mario Chalmers? Really?)

  • http://twitter.com/novocaine13 DJHurriKane

    Where is my boy Ray Allen at?

  • http://www.slamonline.com the_unknown

    mario chalmers isn’t even the best 3 point shooter on his team.

  • deadbored

    Ray Allen, Brandon Rush, Kyle Korver, Steph Curry…….who picks this ish?

  • May me my moe moo

    Where is J.J. Redick?

  • http://slamonline.com LakeShow

    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.

  • http://www.slamonline.com the_unknown

    @LakeShow yea, that’s a good point.

  • robb

    True, Brandon Rush is missing. Dude shoots better from 3 than Dwight from the FT line.

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    Only one of them in the top 20 in 3PT%…….

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    Mario Chalmers hurt his hand last night though. I don’t know if anyone realizes that.

  • http://www.nba.com VanCityBBall

    i dunno about u guys but i thought jj redick would be in it

  • D12FSU

    why does miami get 2 players?! its in orlando! we want JJ!!!

  • jpm34

    Got Mario winnin!! Rock chalk.

  • Dungeon Family

    I Can Bet anybody a 100 Mil That Joe Johnson Underachieve In this One

  • AD

    anthony morrow droped 42 this year……

  • http://thetroyblog.com Teddy-the-Bear

    Would have liked to see the Jimmer in this. lol @ blackboipachino.

  • http://www.slamonline.com megatron

    morrow or jones

  • http://Slamonline.com nbk

    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

    Lol robb killed me

  • http://nbasobrietystrike.blogspot.com/ CoolWhip

    Maybe the most unexciting 3 Point Group ever.
    Klay Thompson will win this thing at least three times before his career is over.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=542782613 The White Steve Smith

    Wheres Metta World Peace? This is a travesty. I wont be tuning in.

  • Dre Baller

    Steve Novak needs to be in this

  • http://slamonline.com The Philosopher

    Anderson.
    Usually, the guy who’s bigger, stronger does well.

  • DruNyce

    Whoever choose this group should be relieved of their duties.

  • http://redoftoothandclaw.ca niQ

    Yea, just noticed they left out Novak and JJ Redick…

  • golakeshow

    no steve blake?

  • http://Slamonline.com Caboose

    Ideal group: Anderson, Redick, Allen, Rush, Love, and Jimmer.

  • IAMORANGE4EVER

    Steve Novakaine Novak would have been a great addition to the 3-Point contest.

  • Dingo Rob

    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.

  • http://www.huwlhopkins.com #6marjon

    kevin love is clutch but a reliable 3shooter? no

  • http://www.huwlhopkins.com #6marjon

    I wanna see the Red Rocket

  • hugo

    dirk probably asked not to be selected……

  • https://plus.google.com/photos/106403650426394352312/albums/posts davidR

    STEPHEN CURRY.
