    What if one day they change the rules for the 3pt shootout to give shooters the option of picking the ball off the rack or receiving a pass. I think Mason would benefit from this rule.

    off

    Let's celebrate when this is official. The NBA has a history of snuffing Spur players for stuff like this.

    Would have been a shame if he wasn't, and I think he'll win it. Set feet, quick release, the comp is almost designed for him.

    Maybe Mason's 'breakout season' story, along with some hot shooting, is enough to get him a trip this year.
    Barry was in the 3point point shootout after winning the dunk contest...it was when he was with the Sonics, probably 2002 or so...probably the year he lead the NBA in 3 shooting.

    I think it was the one Peja won...and I think he went out in the second round.

    It was funny because he was pretty hot in the first round and most of the second and he hit a bunch in a row and then jumped up and started making whooping noises...then he missed a bunch and lost.




    The guy who has gotten jobbed on this is Bruce Bowen. He's a former 3 point champ and he's been right at or over 40% on 3's for like 5 or 6 years running and he's never gotten the invite.

    I think Bruce would do well in it...he would flat out own the corners.

    Agreed. To have that kind of % over that time period shows how consistent he has been. And you are right in that he would own the corners but unfortunately I think he would have trouble at the other spots.

    All he needed were 70,000+ more Chinese to vote for him and he would have been in the ASG and starting! Maybe TD is right and he gets in next year after he makes another trip over in the summer.

    I hope I get a Spur for this if I'm right!
    Yeah, and hopefully team San Antonio can successfully defend their le in the shooting stars compe ion.

    Just a hunch, but I'd think in a contest like this, Bonner would do a little better than Mase.

    Mase is a rhythm shooter while Bonner has more of a set shot.

    Maybe I'm just talkin' out of my ass.

    I'm probably one of the few to agree with you. Bonner's not a classic jumpshooter and will expend relatively less energy. He puts a higher arc on his shot than Mason as well.

    That's awesome!!! Now I have a real reason to watch the shootout. It would've been cool too if Bonner would have made it. One thing I never understood though was why Brent Barry and Bruce Bowen never went those years before when they were tops. Oh well, I'm gonna go ahead and predict that Mason will win the shootout. Go Spurs Go!!!!
