Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.

Yah Curry would be the GOAT. Honestly just take KD, Curry, Klay and they'd beat everyone by a lot.

3-on-3 is almost all 1-on-1
so you want best iso player to play
Harden and Westbrook are actually better option than Klay
this event may re-unite Harden, Westbrook, and Durant

Keep in mind we're projecting 3 years out.
