I'm currious. How can those 6 be the most deserving when Steve Blake is 6th in the league and isn't on your list. Jason Richardson by the way is 13th, and Peja is 10th


Because half of what percentage indicates is how easy your 3's are, so it's not that great of an indicator of pure ability and certainly isn't an end-all indicator.

Kyle Korver would be a great choice for the 3 point contest. He is a career 40% 3 point shooter. His percentage is down a bit this year, but he is coming around.

Thank you
Not saying they shouldn't be invited but
Boobie and Steve Blake don't stand a chance. The arm strength required to hoist up 3's in a timed contest handicaps a shorter slender contestant.

I hope Martin and Turkoglu will be in it. If Martin is in it, he won't have to bring the ball to his hip before he shoots. It'll already be there.

IIRC, Martin declined an invitation for the 3 point shoot out last yr... Hopefully, he doesnt declines this time...

^Did they say why he declined? I don't know why a player would decline. It's not like they could get injured shooting the ball.

I could see Deron Williams getting an invite considering he has a pretty slim chance of making the actual all-star game with Iverson making it as the starting PG.

He's shooting 40% and would bring more interest to it then someone like Steve Blake.
