2010 Three-Point Shootout thread

[insidehoops]

2010 All-Stars Chauncey Billups of the Denver Nuggets and Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics headline a field of six in this year

[MK2V1GP]

Curry or Gallinari will win. I hope Pierce wins though (even though we'd have to put up listening to b-diddy=2easy all year long).

[kNIOKAS]

pierce, pierce, pierce!! http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3277/950b.gif

[1~Gibson~1]

i'll be rooting for Steph Curry but Cook will probably repeat

i think the top 3 performers will be:

1. Cook
2. Curry
3. Billups
4. Gallo
5. Frye
6. Pierce

[v3DreJ80]

Frye or Gallo for the win.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Pierce will win. Book it.

THE ****!

[beasted86]

Cook has been cold all season up until the last 2 games before the break. I don't think he's going to repeat...

[phoenix18]

Pierce is such a slow shooter. I want to see if he gets through all the balls.

[rosonviyavong]

Predicting for Curry to win but cheering for GALLO

[1~Gibson~1]

Pierce is such a slow shooter. I want to see if he gets through all the balls.
same thing i said :lol

[nbastatus]

the winner will most likely be curry. i think billups has a big chance of winning it also. pierce wont even beat the clock.

[NY Comeback]

GAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!!!!!

The only thing that worries me is Gallo's speed....hopefully he doesn't rush it. His release is a little slow.

[Brujesino]

Curry!!!

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

45% from 3

[MeLO MvP 15]

easy choice..

[AlThornton]

I wish Durant was in it.

[joyner82]

Competition is garbage without Durant. Best jumpshooter in the league.

[leopoldstotch]

1. Curry
2. Billups
3. Gallo
4. Pierce
5. Frye
6. Cook

my prediction.

[DuMa]

i got curry too.

[Cangri]

Mr. Big Shot FTW.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Pierce!

[Brujesino]

curry is gonna win this

[WOW]

I got Chauncey!

Go Denver!

[Allstar24]

Damn Reggie is still here.

[DuMa]

finally charles in the house!

[Reverend Hoops]

It is gonna be between Gall and Steph.

[wang4three]

Gallo!!!

[Cangri]

Billups got this, EZ

[Andrei89]

Lol Charles BArkley is hilarious:lol

[KG5MVP]

LOL akward

annoucer said let's hear it for these 3 pointer shooting contestants, and there was no sound...

[Anton Chigurh]

wow kenny had hops

[WOW]

Kenny + Reggie = venomous combination

Someone needs to elbow them in the neck.

[branslowski]

:oldlol: @ Getting 3pt shootin advice from Wade.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DuMa]

charles with another zinger :oldlol:

[Andrei89]

My league pass feed just went down

OMG **********s

[darius15]

LOL akward

annoucer said let's hear it for these 3 pointer shooting contestants, and there was no sound...

The crowd was probably half asleep from Erykah Badu's performance.

[brooks_thompson]

sudsy b. for a consistent 16,18...curry for a hot first round then cooling in the final to lose to billups

[DuMa]

charles wants to burn all NYK stuff :oldlol:

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

:applause:

[KG215]

The damn graphic blocks the entire goal on the last rack. Good job TNT.

[Cangri]

Nice from Pierce, I still pick Billups!

[Reef]

Solid first round by PP.

[pete's montreux]

Is Barkley serious? Pierce is without a doubt a top five Celtic all time.

[WOW]

Kevin Garnett, this is not Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Calm down.

[Rekindled]

Is Barkley serious? Pierce is without a doubt a top five Celtic all time.

no he is not...

[hawksdogsbraves]

Man Barkley doesn't like Pierce very much :oldlol:

Chauncey looking good

[Swaggin916]

Put some Laker defenders out there and Chauncey is a lock to win :lol

[Cangri]

Well also 17...

[DuMa]

Put some Laker defenders out there and Chauncey is a lock to win :lol
just a cutout of derek fisher would do.

[KG215]

Is Barkley serious? Pierce is without a doubt a top five Celtic all time.

He's borderline top 5 and it's hard to make a case for Pierce over the five guys Barkley named: Bird, Russell, Havlicek, Cousy, McHale.

[WOW]

Mr. Big Shot!

[branslowski]

Put some Laker defenders out there and Chauncey is a lock to win :lol

CO-SIGN...

[Andrei89]

jeez can;'t see it

league pass broadband down

Thanks you NBA, die of cancer

[Xsatyr]

lol at Barkley saying, "Kevin Mchale would rollover in his grave," when mentioning Pierce in top 10 Celtics.

[Swaggin916]

Is Barkley serious? Pierce is without a doubt a top five Celtic all time.

I could see...

Bird
Russell

and then it's kind of crapshoot form there you could really go anywhere Havlichek, Parrish, Pierce, McHale, Cowens, etc.

[FashionIssues]

so effortless looking stroke by curry

[Allstar24]

Wooo 18 for Curry!

[Reef]

If only Curry hit some money balls...wow.

[DuMa]

lol at Barkley saying, "Kevin Mchale would rollover in his grave," when mentioning Pierce in top 10 Celtics.
:oldlol:

[Maniak]

Not bad showing by Curry

[darius15]

If only Curry hit a few moneyballs!

[D-Rose]

Eric Gordon sittin behind chauncey lookin like carlton from fresh prince :roll:

[artex]

curry!

[Swaggin916]

Steph Curry showin the world he can shoot a lil bit.

[Maniak]

http://atdhe.net/13276/watch-horse

[pete's montreux]

no he is not...

Yes, he is.

[1] Bird
[2] Russell
[3] Havlicek
[4] Cousy
[5] Pierce

[blackification]

frye plz dont embarrass yourself

[branslowski]

If only Curry hit some money balls...wow.

Ya girl does it perfect.

[wang4three]

His stroke is sooooo pretty

[Swaggin916]

Yes, he is.

[1] Bird
[2] Russell
[3] Havlicek
[4] Cousy
[5] Pierce

and Pierce is probably better than Hav and definitely better than Cousy who had a career shooting percentage of under 40% I am pretty sure.

[darius15]

Gallinari 16
Frye 14
Cook 19

[PhxSunsFTW]

I didn't really know who to root for but wow, Curry has a beautiful stroke. I wouldnt' be surprised if he makes over 20 next round.

[phoenix18]

He's borderline top 5 and it's hard to make a case for Pierce over the five guys Barkley named: Bird, Russell, Havlicek, Cousy, McHale.

Over-rated.

[Reef]

Ya girl does it perfect.

Yo mama's even better.

[pete's montreux]

There's nothing Pierce can do from now until the end of his career that puts him above Havlicek. Highest he can get is four.

[Maniak]

That old spice commercial is freaky

[Skywalker]

Bob Cousy a career 37.5% FG shooter :lol

[branslowski]

Yo mama's even better.

She has aids though..

[Swaggin916]

Over-rated.

I think he is just right... Doesn't usually get too much credit. He was good but not great. Paul is probably very good so yea I would put him ahead of Mchale.

[Juges8932]

I like Curry's shot a lot. Silky smooth.

[D-Rose]

lmao reggie hatin on knicks

[Maniak]

Gallo did bad. Poor Spike

[artex]

gallinari-waste of a spot like i guessed

[PhxSunsFTW]

Let's go Deep Frye!!!!

[Anton Chigurh]

frye had his foot on the line

[Maniak]

Damnit Frye. Makes me sad.

[pete's montreux]

Ref called off one or two his shots from the second rack.

[phoenix18]

lmao reggie hatin on knicks
Fyre's shot is terrible.

[DuMa]

stop inviting big men to shoot in these contests if theyre not named dirk!

[Swaggin916]

That is some weird rotation like half Noah

[blackification]

oh frye..:confusedshrug:

[RoseCity07]

Man Channing Frye sucks..:oldlol:

Charles said his form is as bad as Brandon Jennings hair cut:roll:

That rotation is so ugly too, ball going sideways.:wtf:

[Andrei89]

http://atdhe.net/13276/watch-horse


that link keeps telling me i must upgrade to premium

[phoenix18]

Cook representing THE Ohio State University.

[xhifer]

lol @ he shoots like bradon jennings hair cut

[DuMa]

theyre gonna make the old guys go in a shootout :oldlol:

[pete's montreux]

He should've made the money ball on the second to last rack, he didn't follow through 100%.

[Swaggin916]

Those were some weak scores

[blackification]

i think curry got this

[Maniak]

Man Channing Frye sucks..:oldlol:

Charles said his form is as bad as Brandon Jennings hair cut:roll:

That rotation is so ugly too, ball going sideways.:wtf:
Your just mad because the Suns got Frye and you don't

Hows Greg Oden working out for you? Good thing hes getting paid millions, or his hospital bill would be bankrupting him.

[darius15]

Curry should take this.

[artex]

lets go curry!! cali!!!!

[Anton Chigurh]

that link keeps telling me i must upgrade to premium

u mad?

[Babalu]

billups or peirce?

who is gonna lose to curry?

[Rekindled]

frye and billups both started out hot but cooled off

[Maniak]

Curry should take this.
This was a really bad 3 point contest. Everybody struggled. 17(I think) as your top score is nothing to be happy about. Hopefully Curry takes the cake

[thejumpa]

Damn I picked Frye but he let me down. What kind of shot is that?

Chuck has been clowning all day lol....makes for great TV

[Juges8932]

Come on Chauncey. Get it done.

[darius15]

Pretty dumb puppet commercial.

[joyner82]

Durant would have been a lock to score at least 25 in the 3P competition

[Swaggin916]

Durant would have been a lock to score at least 25 in the 3P competition

So would Rondo :lol

[artex]

has anyone in the history of the 3 point shootout hit every single shot?

[Derka]

Nice 20 point score there.

[Swaggin916]

Money ball player right thur

[Cangri]

Dam Pierce...

[pete's montreux]

PiercePiercePierce202020!

[plat1numX]

pierce is killin it

[DuMa]

charles: celtics better than the lakers as the greatest franchise!

[darius15]

Good score for Pierce. 20 gonna be tough to top.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

:roll: :roll:

[KenneBell]

Charles talking reckless.

[Swaggin916]

Billups = Streak shooter

[Derka]

I think Chauncey needs those big-game type situations to make these shots.

[darius15]

It over

[phoenix18]

Chuck is always talking about jackets. A couple years ago it was Damon Jones, now its dawkins.

[Andrei89]

So far for Chauncey Billups winning this

[jamal99]

Billups with only 14...

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Pierce FTW!

[Allstar24]

Haha Charles :oldlol:

[Cangri]

Fking Billups :banghead:

[pete's montreux]

Chuck is always talking about jackets. A couple years ago it was Damon Jones, now its dawkins.

The red one right? :oldlol::oldlol::oldlol:

[Swaggin916]

Chocloate Thunder making Craig Saiger look mild LMAO

[DuMa]

charles: maybe the power went out :oldlol:

[Anton Chigurh]

looks like someone just beat craig sager for worst suits

[thejumpa]

"Maybe the power was out" talkin bout Darryl Dawkins jacket....LMAO

[Reef]

Looks like Darryl Dawkins has been sneaking into Craig Sager's closet.

[Derka]

Paul Pierce What!!!

[DuMa]

maybe the celtics will win something this year after all

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

PIERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:party: :party: :party: :party:

[Swaggin916]

And the old vet wins it... Steph Curry got intimidated by Pierce's yelling

[jamal99]

Ah, too bad for Curry, I wanted him to win...

["Jesus"]

:wtf: ...................

[D3vIrGiNiz3r]

Paul Pierce is more stoked to win the 3pt contest than he was finals MVP.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

Omfg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[phoenix18]

Pete just ran around his house screaming in joy.

Along with spudjay.

[Swaggin916]

maybe the celtics will win something this year after all

And that will be it lmao

[Cyclone112]

Gotta give it up to Pierce, even though he is shooting the 3 at a ridiculous rate this season I didn't think he would win it.

[Andrei89]

Paul pierce zomgz!

[noob cake]

What a joke; Pierce won, sigh. Second worst shooter out of the bunch

[Celts34]

and Pierce is probably better than Hav and definitely better than Cousy who had a career shooting percentage of under 40% I am pretty sure.


U do realize Havlicheck scored over 26,000 spending the first 6 seasons of his career coming off the bench as well as winning 8 rings. I love Paul Pierce to death, but he's not better than Hondo. And its pretty tough to argue him over Cousy as well. With the Celtics its about the rings first. If anything you argue him over Mchale.

[ProfessorMurder]

spudgay came.

[takeittothehoop]

I have no idea how Pierce won that but congrats to him..

[pete's montreux]

Haters gonna hate. I don't think anyone but Boston fans picked Pierce.

Print your posts, eat your words.

[DuMa]

paul throw the crip sign!

[D-Rose]

they jinxed steph bad

well done pierce. would rather have seen ray allen in it cuz pierce already in ASG

[Swaggin916]

The ever modest Paul Pierce.

[Derka]

Rofl @ whoever said the Celtics might win something this year. I lol'd IRL.

[Reverend Hoops]

One of the better shooters in "NBA history" :roll:

[Cangri]

Pierce deserved it, you can tell he was pumped up for this :oldlol:

[thejumpa]

Paul Pierce is takin this thing a little too serious....

"I'm one of the best shooters in NBA history"

stronnnngggg confidence

["Jesus"]

Did Pierce just say he's one of the best shooters in history?

[Rekindled]

the truth won it, he is clutch

[phoenix18]

The red one right? :oldlol::oldlol::oldlol:
Yes:lol

[Brujesino]

morrow should have been in this contest

[Maniak]

Terrible contest.

[brooks_thompson]

did i miss something? pierces tiebreaker against billups counted as his final? or are there 3 in the final?

[Swaggin916]

U do realize Havlicheck scored over 26,000 spending the first 6 seasons of his career coming off the bench as well as winning 8 rings. I love Paul Pierce to death, but he's not better than Hondo. And its pretty tough to argue him over Cousy as well. With the Celtics its about the rings first. If anything you argue him over Mchale.

He also played for 100 years.

I don't care how many rings you win it's about who is the better player.

[Kujo]

Hell just froze over. Paul Pierce won the 3-point contest. :eek:

[Brujesino]

Did Pierce just say he's one of the best shooters in history?
yup:lol

[PhxSunsFTW]

haha "one of the best shooters in NBA history"

:roll: :roll: :roll:

That's a guy who shoots 44.4% for his career

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*grabs pete's hand*
*dances around in joy*


:banana:

[Lebron23]

Paul Pierce

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

First Celtics since Bird to win the 3 points shootout.

[darius15]

Damn, Curry had a few bricks.

Congrats to Pierce.

["Jesus"]

yup:lol

Oh gawd. :ohwell:

[Andrei89]

Slam Dunk contest let's GOOOOO!

[Rekindled]

best shooter in nba history? wtf , he is not even the best shooter on his own team

[PhxSunsFTW]

did i miss something? pierces tiebreaker against billups counted as his final? or are there 3 in the final?

I was wondering the same thing.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

The 3rd best 3 point shooter on the Celtics wins the shootout. :roll:

[Swaggin916]

morrow should have been in this contest

I bet he and Steph had a shootout to see who went :lol

[artex]

Did Pierce just say he's one of the best shooters in history?

no he said he's "one of the better shooters in nba history"

still kinda retarded... it looks like he took the shootout more seriously than anyone else lol, damn hes hyped

[Reverend Hoops]

Very disappointing ASW so far.

[FashionIssues]

that statement is gonna haunt him:oldlol:

[darius15]

Terrible contest.

Agreed.

[J-Futuristic]

Paul Pierce is such a douche.

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

U do realize Havlicheck scored over 26,000 spending the first 6 seasons of his career coming off the bench as well as winning 8 rings. I love Paul Pierce to death, but he's not better than Hondo. And its pretty tough to argue him over Cousy as well. With the Celtics its about the rings first. If anything you argue him over Mchale.

Have you seen Hondo play? Fck no.

You do realize Hondo averaged more FFA than Pierce his entire career, right? He played with better teammates and took more shots than Pierce took playing with bad teammates.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

:roll: :roll: :roll: @ everyone who said Pierce wouldn't even get all his shots off

[TruthKGRay3412]

Won 40$ picking Pierce against a friend haha..time to get an 8th now.:pimp:

[Bigsmoke]

What a joke; Pierce won, sigh. Second worst shooter out of the bunch

are u kidding me?

Paul Pierce is shooting a better 3 point % than almost any Rockets player FG %

[B-Diddy=2Easy]

Won 40$ picking Pierce against a friend haha..time to get an 8th now.:pimp:

:pimp:

[rosonviyavong]

What the hell has KG been teaching Pierce like when I saw him yelling at himself after his shots and when he said he was one of the greatest shooters of all time

[plowking]

I honestly thought Pierce was the second worst shooter coming into this, and I still think it. Dude got hot and hit all his money balls.
Steph Curry will win a few of these before his career is done.

Also, Dequan you suck. Your ass is getting traded.

[04mzwach]

I wish Dirk would of participated with a headband, because he looks funny with a headband. Plus, he would of won...

[rosonviyavong]

Who in the hell is Daquan Cook

[04mzwach]

I'd like a 3-point contest featuring Dirk, Nash, Kobe, Ray Allen and Kopono

[TruthKGRay3412]

:pimp: :pimp:

[coin24]

Yeah nice job of picking crap shooters:banghead: :banghead:

Id rather see ray ray, jr smith, kapono, rashard:cheers:



Not sure why, but i've always hated Paul Pierce. His call on him being one of the best shooters??:banghead: I know hes an awesome player, but seriously... I remember he made that call about him being the best player in the world the year they won.. dochebag:roll:

[NY-Knicks]

congrats Paul.

Steph Curry has a beautiful jumpshot. Enjoyed watching him shoot. One of the best shooters in the L.

[kNIOKAS]

What a joke; Pierce won, sigh. Second worst shooter out of the bunch
oh you like to eat *** don't you.

come on losers, you all hating on pierce and when he does that to you "it's terrible contest". burn, burn bitches

[Jasi]

My boy Gallo made a terrible choice to start from his weak side... I really thought he would've started from the left side, nail the first two racks and then enjoy the groove.
Why the fock did he go the other way? :banghead:

Props to the Truth for winning it :applause:

And Curry's release is one of the most enjoyable I've ever seen (Ray Allen-type) :bowdown:

[kaiteng]

Curry's strokes were beautiful, but he still couldn't finish the racks off. He will get better next time though. NBA has to invite him back in the next five years.

[godofgods]

I'd like a 3-point contest featuring Dirk, Nash, Kobe, Ray Allen and Kopono

Kobe will break MJ's lowest score of 5!

[Hoggle]

I'd love to see an all white man 3point contest.

Nash, Dirk, Ginobili, Kopono, and Hedo.
