Player Made Att. %
Ray Allen 115 249 .462
Kevin Durant 85 245 .347
Daniel Gibson 79 180 .439
James Jones 91 213 .427
Paul Pierce 73 182 .401
Dorell Wright 124 303 .409

I think its pretty strange that a 35% shooter gets to participate in this contest...
KD is a good 3-point shooter, but no way he can win this (Ray Ray will).

Btw, I wish KD would take more catch and shoot threes instead of dribble-whil contested-threes.
He could be a 40%+ shooter from 3, but needs to be much smarter on attempts.

Still hope he does well and hopefully he will learn something, ANYTHING from this contest.

Durant is a 40% 3point shooter that takes awful 3-pointers during the season, and that's the main reason his % is the least impressive of the group.

With that element (shot selection) taken out of his hands for this contest, I expect him to do fairly well.

Does this mean he's given up his HORSE crown? He's participating in both? Or has it been scrapped?

KD will win.

Im not 100% but i bet his slow start to the season is dragging down his overall %

boobie, yes Horse has been scrapped
