3 POINTERS READY TO THE BATTLE

MIKE JAMES
[ 3 PT RATING 79 | 3 POINT % .425 ]
RASHARD LEWIS
[ 3 PT RATING 84 | 3 POINT % .406 ]

KIRK HINRICH
[ 3 PT RATING 81 | 3 POINT % .367 ]
JOE JOHNSON
[ 3 PT RATING 84 | 3 POINT % .316 ]
Tonight all the best 3 pointers from the NBA will face at the Las Vegas Arena. And the winner will be clear after 3 rounds.
Five 3 pointers will advance to the second round. Next, only two 3 pointer will advance to the final round, where the winner will be decided.
In this competition there will be very good shooters, but need to mention some surprises, for example, Eddie Griffin.
There will be 2 European players: Dirk and Peja, who I consider the real candidats to win the 3 point shoot competition.
Also there will be such shooters like Joe Johnson from Hawks, Rashard Lewis from Sonics, Kirk Hinrich from Bulls and others.
The leading shooter in shooting percentage in all this season games is surprisingly Eddie Griffin, at the last place Joe Johnson

Intresting and good how you present this one, and I like your rookies, well the "white man can´t jump" seems not to count for this Portland guy (I know it doesnt count anyway, but theres not a lot of white guys in the dunk contest )
I hope J-Rich pulls off some nice moves to get the win, he the sickest !

ANANI HUGHES - SLAM DUNK CHAMPION
February 17, 2007
Las Vegas Arena
1st ROUND
Two rookies proved they are better dunkers than experienced dunkers.
Anani Hughes and Vince Carter had 50 points in the first attempts, Tomsa had 45, while Richardson 44.
At the second dunk Hughes had 46 points, and clinched the spot in the final round.
Now Tomsa had 50 points, while Carter 45. And there will be the tiebraker series, 95 points for both dunkers.
Richardson had 50 points with the last dunk, but he didn't proceed to the next round.
These two dunkers had 95 points, and after tiebraker series Tomsa won with 49 points against Carter's 41.
So we will see 2 rookies: Anani Hughes and Mattias Tomsa in the final. Who will win?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd ROUND
With the first dunk Mattias got 46 points, not bad, but Hughes can outrun him.
And Anani had 50 points, so he was at the first position after first dunks.
With the second dunk Mattias had 50 points, too. So he had 96 points total.
If he wish to win, he must pray that Anani could't get more than 46 points.
But Mavs' rookie ended with amazing dunk and got 50 points with the second dunk.
Hughes had 100 points after 2nd round, while Tomsa had only 96 points.
So Anani Hughes became the winner of 2007 year's Slam Dunk Contest.

Yeah the rookies are quite interesting, but their ratings are kinda stupid for some guys, such as Tomsa's 96 dunk rating. And yes, white men can't jump.
Richardson had pretty cool dunks but he was behind only by 1 point..
