Barry has longed for the opportunity to become the first player in NBA history to win both the Slam Dunk Contest and the 3-point Shooting Contest at All-Star weekend. Barry already has half that honor, winning the dunk comp as a Clipper in 1996, and he hopes he'll get his shot at the three point title this year. Last season Barry declined an offer from the league to participate as he and his wife were expecting a child. "This year is a little different circumstance," Barry said. "I would go if they invited me. Jon (Barry, Brent's brother) and I talked about it, and hopefully he could get into (the contest) too and we could mess around." "It would be cool to say," said Barry on the potential record. "It's just a contest, but it would be cool to have under your belt. I got the hard one (slam dunk) out of the way. I mean, let's be honest, I somehow bamboozled my way into that win. This one I actually have the skills to do it." "I don't know if I could win it the first time doing it, but I know I would do better than Rashard (Lewis, who shot a ball off the side of the backboard last season). I feel like I would have a good chance. I would say I would do well."
