For those who can't get NBA.com to work.
One of my favorite Spurs memories is getting to the AT&T (well, SBC) Center early during the 2003 Finals and catching a little bit of David Robinson warming up, including a series of 6 or 7 drained three-pointers in a row from the right corner.

Nice.
Hook shot FTW.
i wonder how heavy those trophies are
that was my fav. part of the night, watching TD and Drob win that
Tim is hitting 3pointers on normal basics during practices.I think people underrated timmy's 3 point ability. He can hit the 20 footer (without going glass) so a 3 wouldn't have been that hard for him.
Major props to SA for winning that compe ion when most people didn't give them a chance
HE practices them as all spurs players.
So to me it was normal he drained that one.
I wonder If duncan can beat lebrons 3 halfcort shot in 1 minute, that would be ing classic
they did not only win, they demolished the compe ion.
DRob is awesome!
Chris Paul beat it yesterday. I think he did 4. Duncan tried too, he didn't get any.I wonder If duncan can beat lebrons 3 halfcort shot in 1 minute, that would be ing classic
Paul hits 4 half-court shots in a minute for Guinness record

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- King James' reign as half-court shot champion of the world was a brief one.
Hometown favorite Chris Paul usurped LeBron James and Jason Kidd as the leader in the friendly compe ion after the Western Conference All-Stars finished a brief practice on Saturday afternoon.
The Eastern and Western conference All-Star squads each selected a handful of players to attempt as many half-court shots as they could in one minute. A moderator at the makeshift arena in the city's convention center pronounced that whoever made the most would hold the Guinness World Records mark for that timeframe.
James took jump shots from half court, hitting three. Jason Kidd also made three, all on underhanded heaves. Other shooters for the East included Ray Allen, who made two, and Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade and Chauncey Billups, who each made one.
Wade looked exhausted toward the end of his minute and fell flat on his stomach on his last attempt.
"You'd think if you had 60 seconds in practice to make half-court you'd say, 'I'll make about 10,"' Wade said. "Man, it was rough making that one. I was happy to make one. It's a big difference. You've got the crowd, every shot they're 'ooh, aah."'
Added James: "It ain't the easiest thing to do."
About an hour later, when the West's practice wrapped up, Steve Nash, Amare Stoudamire, Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson and Paul shot from the center circle.
Nash and Stoudamire each made one, Iverson and Duncan came close but didn't make any. Then came Paul, who routinely throws up a handful of half-court shots after Hornets practices.
It showed. He made three in the first half minute to tie James and Kidd, then drained the last one a few seconds later for the record, delighting the partisan crowd.

nice, That would have been too funny if Duncan won it
Drob hitting a Jumpshot from Midcourt
You know what I just snap to? They won it in 2006 and lost in 2007 and then won again in 2008 WTF can we not win back to back? Guess it's a Spurs thing.
Anybody have any good pictures of 'em without the warmups on??
Seein' Big Dave in that Black 5-0 again almost brought tears to my eyes... in my opinion this was a great and memorable all-star weekend, and even with everything that happened.... seein' Dave suited up... that took the cake, easy.
Here's a few.
It was great to see them together...with a Trophy.
Even though it was only a cheesy shooting compe ion, this was easily my favorite All-Star moment of all-time. Seeing Dave in a Spurs uniform again was awesome. Seeing him drain a jumper on his first try from halfcourt was even more awesome.
Tim and Dave looked genuinely happy to win. It just goes to show that you put that duo in a compe ion that doesn't even play to their strengths .... and they'll still win.
Is Drob really two to three inches higher than TD?
One thing that really shocked me was how DRob was shooting those half court shots, he didn't have that run-two-steps-two-handed-throw shots, he had a legitimate jump shot from out there, and he seemed to be the only guy who was doing that.
Anyways, Spurs rules all, I never thought the Spurs would win with two centers in there.
Here's a few.
It was great to see them together...with a Trophy.
Awesome.... Thanks alot.
Does the winning team play again at the next Shooting Stars?
Ginobili, Kerr, Becky imo.
I don't think so...it seems to be 3 different(new) players every year.
