With Nash, Kapon and Peja

WOW... I hope he wins it....

Will he be the first player to win a dunk contest and a 3 point shootout if he wins?

Nash, Peja, Kapono, Gibson, Hamilton...... This is gonna be a great competition...

Brent Barry? Oh no wait he lost....but wow I'm shocked they put Kobe in there. Probably just to include a bigger face for New Orleans' fans.

i rather see the machine than Kobe.

Those are some sick shooters to go against. My money is on Nash or Kapono (both top 6 all time in 3P%), but if Kobe gets hot anything can happen.

the machine got robbed.

kobe's injured tho, he should rest over the all star game

Whoa!

Is he allowed to have someone in his face, defending him? Cause if not, I don't see him making too many.

+1

or maybe he can try to pull off some fade away 3's from the corner, he always seems to make those.

if his hand is healthy I could see him go perfect.

Sasha should be there too.

Call me crazy, but Rip. is gonna win this... book it.

LOL, 74th in the league in 3 pt %. The NBA is a joke. He isn't even in the top 3 on his own team for Christ's sake.

unfortunately I'm gonna have to agree, he does need a defender in his face. NBA's doing this for star power

That said, I would have rather seen him in the skills challenge

Posted: **Wed Feb 6, 2008 9:28 pm**

We just saw kobe with the skills challenege. He won the Dunk contest, and now he has a shot at the 3 point shootout. Anyone who says Kobe needs a man in his face to win this is nuts. He is not the best 3 point shooter, not even the 73rd best, but anyone who says kobe cant drill these shots in practice alone, is just absurd.

Kobe is a great shooter ! He's able to win it ! I hope he will ! Go Kobe !

Alright Alex! that's what I'm talking about. I have a feeling the last money ball will be shot left handed. Wow the crowd.

I'd rather see a battle between The Machine and The Space Cadet in 3-pt shooting :rofl:
