weren't there more of those bonus balls this year though than in previous years? So the relative points earned can't be compared year-to-year
of course nobody is talking about it but Marco scored 24 points, nobody has ever scored 24 points in a tie breaking final.
He has also scored 24 points in a Final, the 2nd highest score since Jason Kapono's 25 points.
Additionally he scored 62 points in the 3 rounds. Easily the highest score ever in 3pt shooting compe ion history.
IMO these feats easily put him in the books within the 5 best shooters in 3pt All Star history.(kapono, price, bird, peja and now Marco) The sick thing is he did this in his 3rd round, I am pretty sure he would have gotten over 30 pts had there been a 4th round. while most shooters get tired and start missing, this somehow gets better.
this proves this is clutch as and has the stamina of a stallion. And also proves he's the best free agent signing in the history of the Spurs franchise (as I called it months ago)
hats off to RC and Pop for pulling the biggest signing of the season

not sure but even if that was the case, that 3rd Beli round would have won most 3pt compe ions IMO
Score is skewed...there was a rack entirely of money balls
Yeah the entire point of the OP is moot since the format has changed to +4 points.
They are ruining the events from this here to the dunk contest which literally was about 5 minutes long! Then it's over and the East wins? They ruin things every year it seems, guess they thought it was a bright idea.
He did well but all other years only had 5 money balls (2 pts), this year there were 9.
Im gona go ahead and say that doesnt matter. Point still stands.
They introduced the 3pt line in the 80s. And did Kobe score those 80 points or not. Yes he did.
Plus even if you take those 3 or so points from Ferrari. HE STILL scored highest 3 rounds in history IMO plus he got better at each round.
Point still stands. Belli is among 5 best shooters in 3 pt contest history and greatest signing in spurs history.
no one talks about it because it's a 3 pt contest.
s'ok, spurfan, take wins where you can get them
@ re nuggets fans getting trolled so easily
Yeah, love Belli, but this time around they added more points to be scored with the full moneyball rack... still GOAT, tbh
Its a fun compe ion but fairly meaning less in the grand scheme. Just matters what he does in a game.
He had 18 through 4 racks in the final round. He made 3 of 5 shots (for 6 points total) on the final rack to bring his score to 24 points, including the very last money ball (which would've been a money ball using the old system)
His equivalent score (using the old system) is therefore 18 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 22
Where does 22 rank in the 3 point compe ion?
His score is only inflated by 2 points.
meh, It was pretty obvious from the way everyone looked that it mattered for them..
It's not a spurs thing, sure..But It mattered a lot to marco.
LMFAO, take per par tbqfh....of course nobody is talking about it but Marco scored 24 points, nobody has ever scored 24 points in a tie breaking final.

At anyone thinking Beli is gonna put the Spurs over the top
Its more than obvious the only way the Spurs get back to the top is w/ better DEFENSE...PERIOD
Beli is a total liability on that end,his role is no more than Neal's was...5-8 minutes w/ the 2nd unit
Any more than that and its lights out for the Spurs.
Scoring aint the Spurs problem,getting STOPS are
Belli is garbage, never saw before such amount of air balls in 3 point compe ion... And also that I just awake out of sleep pose of his, very bad! In real intensive compe ive games this at ude will gonna make him to fail big time, I think in playoff he will poll a roger mason...
@ clutch and 3 point contest in the same sentence
Boom! Marco! Winner!
Glad it went to OT tbh. 2 rounds is just too short. Giving the players 3 rounds gives them a chance to actually get a rhythm.
If they are going to insist on forcing the East vs. West thing down our throats, should go from field of 8 (4v4) to field of 4 (best 2v2) to field of 2 (best 1v1).
he's 1st tbh in this new rules
It ranks him in 4th place, alongside other notables:
Kapono: 25 pts
Mark Price, Kapono: 24 pts
Kyrie Irving: 23 pts
Larry Bird, Steve Kerr, Peja Stojaković, Marco Belinelli: 22 pts
Pretty sure he set the record for most airballs in the compe ion as well?
Just repeating what others have said, but it is crucially important...There was a rack full of money balls, thus potentially inflating everyone's score by up to 4 points.
But really, comparisons across time are pointless anyway. All that matters is that everyone competing yesterday had the same rules, and Marco was the best.
Marco Beli- ing-nelli. es.
It takes 2nd grade arithmetic to correct for the money ball rack
