#LetBonnerShoot Worked, Matt Bonner in 3 Point Contest vs Novak

[BatManu20]

Gerald Green may give James White a run for his money

Don't sleep on Terrance Ross. Dude can fly. He's my sleeper for the dunk contest.

[therealtruth]

Wait a minute. He's in the league?

I think that's the reason he's still in the league. We're finally going to get a good dunk contest with him and Gerald Green even without Lebron.

Rookie vs. Sophmore teams

Team Chuck
Anthony Davis
Kenneth Faried
Kawhi Leonard
Bradley Beal
Ricky Rubio
Deon Waiters
Nikola Vucevic
Brandon Knight

Team Shaq
Damien Lillard
Kyrie Irving
Andre Drummond
Klay Thompson
Harrison Barnes
Chandler Parsons
Deon Waiters
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Still a couple to be randomly assigned, including Kemba Walker, Tyler Zeller, Isiah Thomas, Alexey Schved.

I'm not feeling Chuck's team at all. He went with mainly big guys while Shaq took the best guards available. I wouldn't be surprised if Team Shaq routs Team Charles...

As for how Bonner will do, I guess it'll depend how comfortable he is out there. If it's like he's shooting at an empty gym, he's going to win. In practice, the guy literally knocks down >90% of his three-pointers.

The Spurs have had great shooters over the years but Bonner holds records in the different three-point shooting drills the Spurs have that no one could ever touch. For example, the Spurs have a timed drill where each player shoots 20 three-pointers at each of the five spots along the arc. Hedo Turkoglu had the record for a long time at 82, IIRC. Then Matt Bonner came along. The last I've heard, Bonner holds the record with a ridiculous 97 out of 100.

In an empty gym, Bonner may be the best three-point shooter who has ever lived. No joke.

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 97 out of 100 !?
thats cold blooded.
hope he wins, and i wish him the best of luck.
ryan anderson is no joke either.

As for Bonner, it is very well deserved that he finally makes it. While some may think he has no shot, I think he might actually do well. Dirk won it a couple years back and I think has a pretty slow release too...

[Libri]

Benchwarmer with the Knicks iirc.

Ok, now I'm interested in the dunk contest.

This is truth. I was watching Bonner during the halftime shoot-around at the opening game against OKC...I think he hit all of his 3-point shots, like 18 in a row. Too bad that doesn't always equate to game time. It was incredible (and frustrating) to watch.

If only that translated to games...

Well Novak is a great shooter as well with a much quicker release. I'm not even sure Bonner would win in an empty gym tbh.

Yeah kinda surprising that Shaq picked the better team. That said the Vucevic Faried KY frontline should rebound like crazy.

[Das Texan]

Bonner should compete in a warm up jacket.

[hater]

I'm sure there's a lot of ppl in the world that can shoot 90%+ from 3pt in an empty court.

I'd give Bonner more props for putting the effort in the other basketball aspects to be good enough for NBA. That is the more amazing thing tbh

also, I'd say Dirk is probably best off game shooter ever. I seen him warm up

Dat rebounding

That said it's a bit worrying that KL's the best defender in that bunch

[elemento]

Matt Bonner will win it and will set a new record

Book it

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

dunk contest should be sick.
gerald green wins it imo
but really wanna see what kind of tricks faried and bledsoe try, bledsoe is small but dude gets up ala nate robinson
( former winner )

[Boomersgold]

I hope Matt does well in the contest.

How did Paul George get into the contest?

[Mugen]

I'm pullin' for the Red Rocket.

Pretty stupid that Chuck didn't pick one of Lillard-Irving.

[ElNono]

Time to start #LetDuncanWinDPOY, tbh

[Big P]

Too slow...he's not even going to finish all the racks...maybe if he had all day he could.

[FkLA]

I'm sure there's a lot of ppl in the world that can shoot 90%+ from 3pt in an empty court.

Dont be stupid.

Anyways best of luck to Matty Ice tbh.

I agree. I would much rather have a player that can only shoot 50% in an empty gym but also shoots 50% in a game.
