Spurs may not get much respect from the media but here's a campaign to get Bonner into the 3pt contest.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Isn't he still injured?

[DesignatedT]

:lol that's awesome.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

:lol. That's all the Spurs need. As everyone frets over Tim and Manu tweaking something in a meaningless game Bonner will go out and shatter his knee in the 3pt contest.

[TIMMYD!]

That's fucking great. He deserves it.

[DJB]

Neal, imho.

[DesignatedT]

Neal, imho.

well Bonner is shooting 50.4% compared to Neals 38.7%. Plus, Gary Neal is already in the Rookie/Sophomore game. It would be nice to get as many representatives as possible at the ASG.

Pop, Duncan and Manu in the ASG
Coach Bud, Neal and Blair in the Rookie/Sophomore game
and hopefully Bonner in the 3 pt contest and Tony in the Skills Challenge.

[FTLSpur]

He has deserved this the last three seasons. Props to the red rocket much deserved recognition :)

[Dex]

I agree that it would be interesting to see Bonner in it, but he's not even healthy enough to see the court right now with selections going on, so I sincerely doubt he makes it.

[Mel_13]

Click the links, folks. Bonner hasn't been named to the competition, it's a funny campaign video to support his candidacy.

[awktalk]

He has deserved this the last three seasons. Props to the red rocket much deserved recognition :)

He's not in it yet, this is just a campaign to get him in it.

[TDomination]

haha that was good lol

Tony will never play the skill challenge if he don't play the ASG

[DesignatedT]

Tony will never play the skill challenge if he don't play the ASG

Not really sure how it works tbh but if he gets voted in then he gets voted in....

The competition consists of 5 players. Only 3 on the list are all-stars so 2 other point guards are going to go do the skills challenge without participating in the ASG.

[suitedkings]

Bonner would only get off 3 shots.

[awktalk]

Bonner would only get off 3 shots.

No. He would make all shots except the moneyball at each rack. :downspin:

[Mugen]

i'd think he'd probably get off about 4 pump fakes/awkward running hook before time expired.

[crc21209]

:lol That's hilarious....

[DMC]

i'd think he'd probably get off about 4 pump fakes/awkward running hook before time expired.
This! :lmao

But he would hold the ball at the top of the key, over his head, for about 21 seconds.

[TampaDude]

Gosh!!! :lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Considering he's the 2nd best 3-point shooter in the league, why not?

[hsxvvd]

I hear he'll be too busy hunting wolverines in Alaska on All-Star weekend.

[Yorae]

Well he was waiting for this, but he's injured so LOL!

[lefty]

Haha,

Those Canadian dudes from The Score are pretty good

[JustinJDW]

Well shit, since Pop, Manu and Timmy are all in the All-Star Game, we might as well go all out. Get Tony in the Skills Challenge, and the ASG if someone gets injured. Neal and Blair are in the Sophmore vs. Rookie Game, and now get Bonner in the 3-point shooting contest. Or at least Neal!

[greyforest]

i don't think his injury prevents him from shooting 3's

[silverblackfan]

The video was funny.
Honestly, I think Neal or Bonner could compete well, but I would think Neal's quick release and great form would win out.

[E-RockWill]

Classic Red Rocket.....

[OrEmuN]

Can they give free subway coupons to the winner so that Bonner will be pumped for the competition ?

Otherwise, just have someone remind Bonner that 3 point contest is a regular season event before every shot, and he will sink them all.

[Danny.Zhu]

Good job...

[Sec24Row7]

that's awesome!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Bonner and Neal both miss the cut.

[lefty]

lol Canada

[ajballer4]

Wow...what a shitty lineup for 3 pt contest

[Muser]

Who actually watches the contest? Watching a bunch of guys jack up 3's for an hour isn't prime entertainment.

[Das Texan]

nba is racist toward red headed folk.

[Drachen]

bonner and neal both miss the cut.

gosh!

[concken]

what a bush league three point contest. Are they doing the "horse" game again?

that sucked

[CubanMustGo]

James Jones? Really? Dude has shot basically the same # of 3's and %age as RJ (~42%)..

Dorrell Wright is barely hitting 40% of his threes, wtf is he doing there?

Durant? 35.7%.

They must have thrown darts to select the participants.

[in2deep]

I never get how this 3pt shooters get chosen.

It should be the top N players in percentage and with N or more number of attempts. Easy.

[ceperez]

Rigged...

How is it the team with the best 3point percentage (2nd best) doesn't have a participant?

[awktalk]

Dorell Wright selection is retarded. Bibby or Afflalo would make much more sense. I believe this is also the first time that two players from the same team will participate. Boston gets so much love from the league it is silly.

This is actually the only event during AS weekend I find interesting. The worst by far is the WNBA/NBA shooting pairs event.

[MannyIsGod]

How the hell can they keep leaving out Bonner? Its such a crock man. Even if he's hurt at least name him and let the dude get recognition. He gets the shaft every year.

Dorell selection is retarded ? how so ? the guy is not leading the nba on 3PTM ?
