Danny's got the most makes and 2nd highest percentage (behind Tony who has made a lot less), I'd say he deserves a bid.
That said, my personal preference would be to give Danny a rest during the All Star break. He and Boris have played the most games this years, so my personal, selfish hope, is he stays home. But he does deserve to go.
Patty looks like he'd be pretty good in a 3pt shooting contest, tbh. Green looks like he needs someone to feed him the ball to be effective.
Green is going to the 3pt competition. Ferrari is hurt, Green 3 pt finals record, Spurs current champs.
If Danny goes, I hope I'm wrong, but I honestly think that having to grab balls from the rack is going to screw up his motion resulting in a subpar performance. If he does poorly, I hope it doesn't mindfuck him.
:rolleyes
Matt Bonner deserves to be in the contest. I don't know what his numbers are, but I think he smokes everyone in a three point shooting contest. Irving had to have a crazy, once in a lifetime streak to beat Red Rocket.
As long as he hits them in the playoffs.Quote:

Has to be Bonner. He won two years ago, didn't he?
Red Mamba!!!
All what I care is that pop fakes a TD injury so that he rests. Maybe even the same with Kawhi... I rather have them all rest tbh
he participated. Irving won that year.Quote:

Green seems like the type that would enjoy ASW, tbh, I think he was the only Spur that did media tours during the off-season:lol..
Matty put up a great performance. Kyrie just went video game mode in that final round.Quote:

he can easily make 100 consecutive 3s in an empty gym.
That Baynes' 3 attempt vs. The Jazz had good rotation on it.
DNP - OLD :lolQuote:

get well soon Ferrari :cry
Well said. Kawhi and Duncan could make it, but I hope they don't. Timmy especially needs the rest. Yes, it's only one weekend, but you still have to fly there and back, rather they stay home. Danny or Marco (as defending champ) may also get an invite to the 3point contest.Quote:

I hope kawhi does. He needs to get that superstar treatment from the refs.Quote:

He uses his legs too much imo, and jumps forward on his shot sometimes. I'm not sure that's good for a timed shooting contest. That being said, I think he's the best shooter on the team - even better than Danny. He just plays less minutes.Quote:

:lol NBA they would pick someone like Matthews or Meeks before they even consider green. :lol
