Cleveland Cavaliers All-star 3-point Shootout Competitors From Mark Price To Kyrie Irving 1988-2017

... into the semifinals, where he again hit for 21 points out of a possible 30, making eight consecutive shots along the way. Charles Barkley, then sitting in with the TNT broadcast crew, commented: “They had a chance to finish him off, and now Mark Price is alive and well.” In the finals, Philadelphia’s Dana Barros, won the coin toss and elected to let Price shoot first. That proved costly as Price hit for a whopping 24 points out of a possible 30, and Barros could only manage 13. Price’s effort was one point short of the record at the time. Price would be traded to Washington prior to the 1994-95 season and would play only seven games due to injury that year, eliminating his chance to defend the title a second time and go for three straight at the All-Star Game in Phoenix. Associated Press photos. Bob Sura (2000). Sura, who competed in the All-Star slam dunk contest in 1997, was the first Cavalier to compete in both the dunk contest and 3-point shootout. In 2000 he was among the league ...

Can Anyone Knock Off Klay Thompson In The 3-point Shootout

... notoriously consistent three-pointer shooter, has bounced back from a rough start and is making nearly 39 percent of his seven three-point attempts per game. Don’t sleep on Kyrie , who won the Three-Point Contest in 2013. The proven scorer doesn’t take quite as many threes as some of his counterparts (just over six attempts per game) but makes them at a rate of almost 40 percent. He’s as capable of winning it all as anyone in this group. Gordon (almost 39 percent from three) and Mc Collum (41 percent from three) could also make things interesting. CJ is likely looking to redeem himself after an abysmal 14 points and first-round exit last in last year’s contest. Meanwhile, Eric Gordon is the best shooter on a team loaded with some of the league’s best three-point shooters. Be sure to tune in Saturday night, because any one of these guys is capable of catching ...

Highlights, Odds And Predictions For Participants

... Gordon Looking to Compete. If Thompson can take home the three-point title again this year, it will mean the champion has come from the Warriors for a third consecutive year. It will also make Thompson the first player to win in back-to-back years since Jason Kapono did it in the 2007 and 2008 editions of the contest. Kapopo, though, won while representing two different teams—first the Miami Heat, then the Toronto Raptors. While Thompson is looking to add his second three-point title to the trophy case, Eric Gordon of the Houston Rockets is excited at the opportunity for his first. "It's something I always dreamed about as a kid, being a part of," Gordon said , per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle. "Now, I have my chance. I'm going to take advantage, try to win. Growing up in Indianapolis, you always see Reggie Miller in it. This is something I always wanted to be a part of.". Considering Gordon has made over 38 percent of his three-point attempts this season, it would be unwise to count him out. It's difficult not to like Thompson to repeat in this contest. As ...

Simulation Predictions For The 2017 Nba 3-point Contest

... The Process can win, I’ll just point to past contests with strange results. In fact, if you see an anomalous result this weekend, which has been happening with greater frequency, seemingly, in the sports world and beyond, perhaps it’s just more evidence that we are part of a grand simulation. (I suppose one could ask what the point would be of simulating a universe, but it’s probably stranger to code a 3-Point Contest simulation.). Next: Do shooting fouls increase the value of mid-range shots. For now, we can pretend that the universe isn’t an unrelenting hellscape dependent on the whims of a bored programmer, and I for one will be curious as to who will win the 3-Point Contest. Because history has shown us, consistently, that it’s not predictable — remember that last season Stephen Curry, greatest 3-point shooter ever in the midst of the greatest shooting season ever, didn’t win — and that’s why I keep watching. [1. The past performance variable did have a ...

Houston's Eric Gordon Captures 3-point Contest

... 15. In the D-League skills competition, guard Scott Wood of the Santa Cruz Warriors won the 3-point shootout, while forward Troy Williams of the Iowa Energy took the slam dunk contest. 12:25 p.m. Le Bron James has arrived at All-Star weekend. The Cleveland star and three-time NBA champion is on the floor for Eastern Conference All-Star practice. He missed Friday's All-Star events while tending to a family matter. James tossed a T-shirt into the screaming crowd as he walked out to start practice, sending fans straining to catch the freebie. It's the 13 th All-Star weekend for James, the most of anyone in Sunday night's contest. Says East coach Brad Stevens, "Watching these guys, everyone should love it.". 11:15 a.m. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are on the floor together — though they started on opposite ends. The Western Conference All-Stars are practicing at the Superdome, and interaction between Westbrook and any of the Golden State Warriors has been limited at best. The four Golden State All-Stars started warming up at one end of the floor, while Westbrook went to the other. Stephen Curry eventually came ...

Will Raptors’ Kyle Lowry Win 2017 Jbl 3-point Contest

... is the JBL 3-point contest. The participants are Nick Young, Wesley Matthews, Kemba Walker, C. J. Mc Collum, Kyrie Irving, Eric Gordon, Klay Thompson, and our very own Kyle Lowry. Klay Thompson is trying to repeat after putting on a show last year shooting 27/34 in the contest, while Kyrie Irving won the 2013 3-point contest. Kyle will have his hands full on Saturday night going up against some of the best in the business. I think Lowry will shine as he has proven time and time again why he should be recognized as an elite NBA sharpshooter. Lowry is third in the league with 3 pointers made with 185 only behind James Harden and Stephen Curry. Our man is shooting 41.7 per cent from deep. Lowry’s stats speak for themselves and Raptors fans hope they his prowness will show on Saturday night. Nov 28, 2015; Washington, DC, USA; Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (7) takes a three point shoot during the first quarter against the Washington Wizards at Verizon Center.
