thats probably a good thing. i'd much rather have Bonner shoot without hesitation than have him drive
Best shooter in the world tbh.Still, he's learned from this, and still contends this contest should be his to lose. And what would he tell future three-point contest rookies?
"I stick by my story. I think most years I would win. If anything, having a year under my belt of experience, maybe I'll be a little less nervous and be able to score a little more," Bonner insisted. "I wouldn't tell them anything, because hopefully I'm in it, too, and I'd want to beat them."
he was still the best in the West after round 1... and put up even more in round 2
I'm not at all disappointed in Matt's showing. He proved he's a consistent 3pt shooter, that he belonged there, and that he should be back next year.
Irving is a great 3pt shooter, but streaky. He's the kind of guy who will put up 13s, 14s, 15s, occaisionally get 17-19, and once every 10 tries gets a 23. Bonner will consistently put up 18-21 every time.
It just so happened that Irving got hot tonight. Congrats to him, but Bonner shouldn't feel bad. He did choke on the first few shots of the 2nd round though, but recovered right away and seemed like he might pull a tie anyway until right at the end. It was impressive imo. Props to Bonner for the strong performance.
Lol at shooting 25 3 point shots being some supreme physical contest for an nba athlete
matt did well but he probably should have gone first
you could see the pressure get to him and before drz and other bonner s join this thread and want some proof of his choking
he already has been quoted saying pressure got to him
new east vs west format is terrible
jj re should definitely have been there, he needs to start his letre shoot campaign
i think bonner could get in next year
hes a good story for the nba and he has some natural charisma they could market
Who cares it a three point contest
