All-Star 3-Point Shootout - place your bets

[chiefwahoo]

It should make the 3-point shootout a little more fun if we have some vCash riding on it. Can Dirk defend his title? Can DJ back up his claim as the "world's greatest shooter?" Put your vCash where your mouth is.

Lots of repeat winners and I see this year being no different. Dirk takes this one from Mike Miller.

Jason Kapono can miss his next 50 3 point attempts and have a better percentage then Damon Jones.

Jason Kapono is on fire..I believe he's got the best % in the league..

Just my guess..boy that 2nd Round in 03 produced some shooters eh? I was screaming that night...KORVER KORVER KORVER! Too bad we got a good one and just let em go..

Korver
Kapono
Walton

How did Glenn Rice not win that thing every year? Jeez I remember watching NBA Inside Stuff where the dude hit like 7 treys a row in the dark..

 

[James]

jeez remember how lights out Glen Rice used to be back in the day??

Solid VBet Chief. I'm going to mull this over this week and bet closer to the contest.

3-pt shooting contest is all about rhythm, which stems from absolute focus.

If I have to pick one to nix right away, it's Jason Terry. He's just not a big volume or rhythm 3-pt shooter, he just shoots enough to keep defenses honest.
Gilbert Arenas isn't a great % shooter either, but I did watch that video of him shooting, what was it, 73 of 100 treys 1-handed. So yes, he can get in a zone but I wouldn't bet on him for the contest.
Kapono- Does his current torrid shooting point out just how bad the Cavs' offensive spacing/system is, or WHAT?? And I don't want to hear how we should trade back for Kapono either, we have to get a real offensive coordinator to FIX OUR SYSTEM. Anyway, 55.9% this year, that is just sick, I might bet some on him.
Dirk- that had to be a fluke last year. A 7-footer winning the 3-pt contest? Get outta here.
Mike Miller- I don't see how this guy can be so accurate with all that woman-hair flopping around. Still, he is prolific and I'll probably bet quite a bit on him.
Damon "Freakin" Jones- I'll take him over Arenas and Terry, and probably Dirk. When Damon gets in a rhythm, he REALLY gets in a rhythm. As long as he doesn't get going too fast, or trip over the ball cart, he has a pretty decent chance. His stroke and follow-through are a thing of beauty when they're on. Heck, I'll probably even root for him because any confidence in him is usually good for us.

100 on the grestest shooter in the world, also the sexiest man.

Sorry mate, Karma isn't on this ballot.

Ok maybe I'm not the best shooter in the world.

 

[RuanuLaw]

100 for the guy that brings the sexy back to the Cavaliers.

 

[kevolution]

Sexy never left.

Damn, Inf with 500 on DJ, nice... I'm still thinking here. I wanna go DJ but I'm afraid he may be a little rusty from the lack of PT. But on the other hand, he's probably been putting a lot of practice time in the last two weeks.
