2016 Three-Point Contest

Thread open, poll is up. Note that Chris Bosh has withdrawn due to injury, and he's been replaced by C.J. McCollum.

Surely, this is Curry's contest to lose. I say he'll repeat.

MIddleton.

Going for Devin Booker just because I want the rook to win it.

Curry is just way too good at this. Anybody who doesn't pick him to win is crazy

Good thing Bosh pulled out before he embarrassed himself. He had no business in this contest.

Hopefully anyone other than Curry wins it. Booker should do well, and JJ too if he can stay behind the 3pt line

Going with JJ reddick

Too bad as I was hoping to see Bosh.

Curry has this imo. Make him shoot from halfcourt. omg he's that good

Curry 99%
Edit: Woah, Klay with the 27!

My bet Devin Booker didn't win but he made it to the final round. Klayyy!!!

I still feel that having the money ball rack is kind of cheap. On one hand, I guess the contest has to evolve and try new things, but at the same time, it's kind of like they realised that few competitors were coming close to the all-time records, and decided to find a way to manufacture some higher scores so that the records could be broken.

Still an impressive shooting display, of course. I mean, you have to get the job done with the rules and format you're playing under, and Thompson did just that, as Curry did last year. I'm just iffy on that change they've made. Like I said, it just feels a bit cheap.

We can put asterisks on them though. If you will follow the old format their 27s will just be 23s. Jason Kapono and Craig Hodges still have the record at 25.

Yeah, as much as I'm not fond of asterisks, it's kind of appropriate here.

I hate the money ball rack too. It just makes the game different. I suggest we separate eras between pre and post moneyball-rack when it comes to this event.

There needs to be footnotes in the record books, at the very least.
