Since both threads we posted around the same time and had no replies, I've just merged them.

Good field this year, two former champions in Allen and Richardson and a former participant in Nowitzki.

[Malfa]

[Blasphemy]

What abotu Peja...

[zmac]

Peja sucks this year...
I think that is an awesome contest...Ray Ray, Dirk! I cant wait.

[playkalla]

GO DIRK!!

[Its_asdf]

Is it just me, or is the hype surrounding this event really died down the last couple of years.

[Axel]

Why isn't James Posey a contestant!?!?

[Mazzocchi]

Finally! Dirks first 3-Point contest!

Too bad he'll loose

[kibaxx7]

Man this sucks, Nocioni should be there, he's shooting .460 and looks like that isn't enough...

[maes]

Nocioni was invited & declined.

[Blasphemy]

Nocioni was invited & declined.

What a retart

[Its_asdf]

Its retard. I suggest you don't insult people's intellect when you can't even spell the word you're using to insult people with.

[Blasphemy]

I just dont understand why dont people accept invitations? Like Lebron declined the Dunk contest. Are they to lazy or something

[Gator]

5 contenstants? anyways, go chauncey!!

[Doobie]

I think its because Lebron is afraid of losing the dunk contest. If he loses it's going to taint his repuatation. Nocioni , he may have his own reasons , you don't know.

[AirMJ23]

why isnt michael redd there?

[Doobie]

There is alot of 3pt shooters that didn't make it , so don't be sad . Mike Redd deserves it more then Q , but then again Q is there to defend his crown.

[dada]

I would have loved to see Peja in it, kinda sad he isnt. Yes he is having a bad season shooting but that means nothing when it comes to the 3pt shootout. He isnt being guarded by anybody is he? If I was betting on anyone to make an open shot, I would bet on Peja.

Thereisnt really anyone I would put my money on to win this one, everybody is so-so. I hope Dirk wins just because...

[Cable]

Has Steve Nash ever participated? He could kick Peja's ass

[Sac-1]

5 contenstants? anyways, go chauncey!!

Either i'm counting the wrong way or there are 6 contestants.

EDIT: This year sucks, I was hoping Peja was in it.

[Malfa]

why no korver wtf

[MetalHead]

I think its because Lebron is afraid of losing the dunk contest. If he loses it's going to taint his repuatation. Nocioni , he may have his own reasons , you don't know.

Nocioni said himself that he isn't All-Star material, and was tentative even just playing in the Rookie Challenge. He declined the 3 Point Shootout since he says that his shot takes a long time to set up. He's got a lot of motion and steadying involved with his shot. Because of this, he doesn't think he can shoot well under pressure like that.

Finally! Dirks first 3-Point contest!

Too bad he'll loose

He's competed before.
