"They have the colors of the Italian flag, the words Family First. I represent Italy again, I will have family and friends to cheer. There will be a small patrol here with me in New York. And I know that in San Giovanni in Persiceto are preparing to make the night to follow me. But whatever happens this race, I want to say that the shoes will go to charity. "

Was curry in last year?

[EVAY]

Was curry in last year?

pretty sure, yes

In fact, not only was Curry in last year, but so was Lillard and Irving

[spursparker9]

Was curry in last year?

This year will be Curry's 3 or 4th participation

[Darius Bieber]

Belinelli gonna get raped first round.

[exstatic]

Belinelli gonna get raped first round.

No. Some guys are better at pulling the balls off of the rack, and getting shots up quickly. Beli is one of those guys. He doesn't jump much, either, which also helps.

No joke but last year I heated up some leftover Papardelle Bolognese and sat down to watch the 3-pt competition. Then Marco wins it. He's from Bologna. That was some karma! Or it would have been if I hadn't watched it on DVR.

Go Ferrari!

Maybe if Danny had cried like a little bitch like LOLard, he'd have gotten his invite too.

[CGD]

Danny needs to be in this competition next year.

[DJR210]

If he wins again, do you think he's get the trophy tatted on his other bicep?

Tbh, I think Korver's gonna take the crown tonight.

Cheers, thanks!

[hater]

I'm sure there will be streaming links for allstar Saturday. Actually just checked yes there are.

[Seventyniner]

But why is FAMILY FIRST in English?

[Seventyniner]

what the fuck is Matthews doing there tbh?

Stephen Curry is 161-404 on threes this year, 39.9%.

Care to guess Wes Matthews's numbers?






















oh hell just to save some time, they are EXACTLY THE SAME. 161-404.
http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/player/_/stat/3-points

[Seventyniner]

In fact, if you sort by three point attempts and throw out players shooting under 38%, the top eight are:

Stephen Curry
Wes Matthews
James Harden
Klay Thompson
Danny Green
Kyle Korver
J.J. Redick
Kyrie Irving

So Beli is the odd one out, likely only there because he is the defending champ. IMO the defending champ should always get to defend his title if he's still in the league.

[hater]

But why is FAMILY FIRST in English?

Probably cause in Italian it would have been too damn Mafia tbh

[hater]

Mathews is not as pure shooters as the rest imo

[boutons_deux]

Patty's 3G% this season: 40.2%, but too few shots.
35/92

[100%duncan]

I hope Korver and Beli are the finalists

[hater]

I hope Korver and Beli are the finalists

That would be epic :tu

[BatManu20]

Pulling for Marco and/or Korver.


If Curry gets hot though, it could be over from the get-go.

Pulling for Marco and/or Korver.

True for anyone in that group.

[milkyway21]

I am pulling for Belinelli ...but Korver winning will be fine with me.

That guy KORVER deserves a 3-PT CONTEST TROPHY too.

The most negative guy on ST tbh

[hater]

Realistically the odds are stacked against any one of these players. I have high confidence Marco will be the one of the most cold blooded of the competitors. korver too. Rooting for both.

Marco should make a better showing than last year. And that should be good enough to get to the finals. Unless someone goes suprernova

[BatManu20]

Alright, who y'all got? I'm taking Korver for the win.

[BatManu20]

Kyrie's my dark horse.

[hater]

rooting for Marco and Korver. Mathews my black horse.

Klay looks very relaxed. :pctoss

[Darius Bieber]

I got JJ as the underdog winning, just for fun.

[milkyway21]

Oh NO !

THE 3-PT CONTEST IS LOADED WITH SHAR-SHOOTERS !!!

FOCUS BELI. :flag:

[ace3g]

audio a big issue tonight apparently, Players can't hear the cue to start rounds, happened in the shooting stars earlier.

[BatManu20]

Great first rack by Matthews

[loveforthegame]

Mathews put the pressure on now.

[BatManu20]

Like 4 of Redick's makes didn't count cause his foot was on the line :lol

[Uriel]

LET'S GO MARCO!

[loveforthegame]

Foot on the line. :lol

[spursparker9]

lol Reddick. lol LAC

[spursparker9]

But Reggie Miller.....this don't seems like a video game.
:lol

[DMX7]

Kenny is so retarded. They should count if he was on the line? C'mon, man.

[spursparker9]

22, 23 pts?

Macro going home after the 1st round

[ElNono]

Gotta do 17 or better to move on right now

[Darius Bieber]

22, 23 pts?

Macro going home after the 1st round

Yep, and the splash bros or Korver hasn't even gone. Marco is gone. He may get 12 points. That's it.

[ElNono]

Harden 1st eliminated

[davidbowie]

Got a bad feeling lol marco isn't even gonna get double digits

[Nathan89]

Marco 25+ tbh

[313]

I absolutely hate how they have the commentators on the loud speaker

[Silver&Black]

Curry was hitting the $$$ balls....

[ElNono]

22 to beat to survive

[loveforthegame]

Good luck Marco. Gonna be tough.

[loveforthegame]

Thompson. :tu

[ace3g]

definitely living up the hype

[Darius Bieber]

gg Marco, done before he even started.

[BatManu20]

RIP Marco's chances tbh

[ElNono]

23 or bust now

[spursparker9]

Macro better not pull a groin shooting 3s

[Nathan89]

This is great shooting

[ace3g]

Korver out

[RD2191]

Marco fucked

[spursparker9]

Macro,please just beat Harden.

RIP this thread

[Nathan89]

Well that sucks. The shooting was too good.

[Darius Bieber]

2013 = Bonner runner up 3 pt champion = 2013 Spurs runner up NBA champions
2014 = Belinelli 3 point champion = 2014 Spurs champions
2015 = Belinelli out first round = 2015 Spurs out first round.

[Nathan89]

Rooting against gsw.

[spursparker9]

Bad sign for the championship.

[Ditty]

Good job Marco, too many good regular season shooters.

[BatManu20]

Re-airing the "I Wanna Be Like Mike" Gatorade commercial :tu

[Nathan89]

He should've joined the dunk contest. It's just hard to repeat.

[Darius Bieber]

Danny Green would have smoked these clowns tbh

[milkyway21]

Gods bye Beli ::)

[Nathan89]

Re-airing the "I Wanna Be Like Mike" Gatorade commercial :tu

Yeah that was great.

[Uriel]

Curry's gonna win, tbh.

[milkyway21]

Goodbye Beli :). Thanks God Harden is out too

[loveforthegame]

Got damn Curry.

[Darius Bieber]

fuck Golden State tbh

[Uriel]

Curry's gonna win, tbh.
Called it.

[Silver&Black]

Curry just went fucking HAM.....

Too bad I had to listen to Kenny Smith and Cheryl Miller's brother the entire time.

[RD2191]

fuck Golden State tbh

[BatManu20]

Curry would've broken the record for most points in a round had he made that last money-ball. He just tied it.

[Darius Bieber]

Curry would've broken the record for most points in a round had he made that last money-ball. He just tied it.

Would it count though? In the past, they didn't have a rack full of money balls.

[BatManu20]

Klay's done.

[loveforthegame]

Too bad Thompson.

[RD2191]

Mah dude green will lock that nigga down.

[Darius Bieber]

Mah dude green will lock that nigga down.

[spursparker9]

At least this year was entertaining.

[Nathan89]

Is that foot locker ad on the jersey how the ads will look? Not bad tbh

[hater]

Good job Marco, too many good regular season shooters.

:tu

too many GOAT shooters tbh

crazy

Elian Gonzalito went supernova :wow

[hater]

wish Danny Green was invited. tbh. niggas is a LDN

[hater]

Mah dude green will lock that nigga down.

[BatManu20]

Would it count though? In the past, they didn't have a rack full of money balls.

Jason Kapono had money-ball's when he won it in 2008. But you're right, Craig Hodges didn't have them. He actually made 25/30.

[Nathan89]

Three point line dunk or bust

[spursparker9]

Did Danny ever participated in 3pt contest?

I know Bonner did.

[Legacy]

I picked either Marco to win (of course) or Steph. Good job, Steph, you deserve it. :toast

:lol Klay

[BatManu20]

Craig Hodges' record-setting round where he made 25/30, including 19 in a row. Greatest shooting round ever.

[Legacy]

Re-airing the "I Wanna Be Like Mike" Gatorade commercial :tu

Haven't seen that commercial since I was a teenager in the '90s. Such memories... :cry

[daslicer]

Didn't like how they allowed the players to put all the money balls on one rack. I think that strategy to some degree created inflated scores of 20 plus when that is rare. It's more impressive to get 20 or more under the normal set up because it creates more pressure.

[loveforthegame]

This State Farm bit is cheeeeesyyy

That was fing awkward.

[hater]

Craig Hodges' record-setting round where he made 25/30, including 24 in a row (before the money-ball). Greatest shooting round ever.

why they gotta change the rules every fucking year?????


stick to the classics tbh

:lol Oladipo

[loveforthegame]

What am I watching right now? :lol

[Legacy]

Curry's gonna win, tbh.


Called it.

Same here. Called it before the contest even started. Was rooting for Beli to win, too. :tu

[loveforthegame]

That's nasty.

[BatManu20]

Oladipo :wow

[ace3g]

well at least they only have 3 dunk attempts this year

[BatManu20]

well at least they only have 3 dunk attempts this year

This. It was painful to watch guys attempt a dunk 10 times before laying in a much weaker attempt. Nate Robinson's second contest and Birdman with the Nuggs come to mind.

[BatManu20]

LaVine is my pick. Let's see what he's got.

[loveforthegame]

Oh shit.

[BatManu20]

:wow

[hater]

LaVine is my pick. Let's see what he's got.

[ace3g]

2/2

[Nathan89]

He must have 4 dunks or he's an idiot.

[hater]

:wow

nigga made the entire night worth it :wow

[Duncan2177]

It's like watching a damn clown show.

[milkyway21]

ZACH LaVine SPECTACULAR DUNKER !!! :wow. :wow

[loveforthegame]

Nice attempt. But this is Lavines to lose.

[Nathan89]

Lame

[loveforthegame]

Not bad.

[BatManu20]

Good, "safe" dunk by LaVine there. Just to get a score (even though most guys can't even do that dunk).

[loveforthegame]

He tried.

[loveforthegame]

That's sick.

[ace3g]

Impressive dunks, but I wish he would have tried a FT line dunk, most were just different variations of the same thing.

- Granted he didn't need to up the ante because there was no challenge this year. Maybe this will get the attention of some of the top dunkers.

[hater]

yup hes top 10 dunker in history. he didn't even try and he's 19.

good job tbh

3 pt contest was great. Elian Gonzalito went supernova. no question about it

Ferrari did ok. not super great but he dindn't choke either. too many superb shooters in this contest. Harden choked :lol
