No Magic at the 3pt Contest

[vinageras]

In my opinion, Hedo should've been there...

Putting Hamilton, though, seems ridiculous...

Good Rashard and Hedo can have a weekend off and watch Dwight dunk all weekend.

I'm not surprised we don't have any magic players in the shootout especially when it came out that Rashard didn't want to join

however it is bazaar that Rip is in it as he is not known for his 3 pt shot..........although he has improved this year averaging 1 a game at almost 47%

but for his career he doesn't even average 1 3 a game and is down around 34%

Don't count out Hedo for the ASG, both Garnett and Butler are currently down with an injury.

[OMPunk]

I forgot, is this the mid-rang shootout? Because if so, then Hamilton has the victory wrapped up.

I wouldnt mind that to much lol. I dont think 3pt / skills and all that are worth the trip hehe.

[MostValuableGM]

wheres Rashard? I heard an announcer say he would be there since he was throwing the most 3's per game

[drsd]

Lewis could be defended, but he said no. Turkoglu is not in the top five in any 3 ball category. He should not be in.

[magicman123]

yea turk might make the allstar game, if garnett or butler sit out. hamilton has taken only 92 threes, and Kapono 98..kapono has won, but suprised hamilton is in it..

[EasternMagic]

magic get no love

[NEM]

hamilton and kobe??? wtf???? peja has this locked up...you might as well have put jason kidd in it

[Joseph17]

They should have let Turk play in the 3 pt shootout because he was snubbed for the all-star game. Turk isn't participating in anything! Remember when Turk hit the game-winning shot in the three on three tournament in 2002?

Just put a Magic player on the floor and Rip will make every 3.

[Devin 1L]

I wonder if Rashard isn't in it because he didn't want to be, or because he wasn't invited.

I'm hoping it isn't the later, because he's certainly worthy. I'm hoping they contacted him and he declined opting to rest instead.

I admit, I laughed.

wtf is kobe and nash doing in the 3pt?

should be korver, peja, kapono, and shard/hedo

Dude, Nash is 4th in the league in 3pt%. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be there. He's just an all-around amazing shooter.

As for Kobe, well, because he's Kobe, I guess.

crap, i meant rip not nash

Rashard Lewis told me that he was invited by the league (through Magic GM Otis Smith) to participate in the all-star 3-point shoot-out, but declined, wanting to rest that weekend.
