    No Lillard in allstar game.

    He's extremely upset, will not come down just for 3 point shoot out.

    He should have made it in over CP3, IMO.

    Interesting they'd put somebody somebody in the 3 Point Contest who only flops and relies on refs to score, no?

    EASILY, NBA needs to put the 3-Pt Shootout last this year, instead of the dunk contest.

    Curry - too small to throw that heavy ball so many times, will gas out
    Klay - legit chance at winning
    Reddick - lights too bright, choke job
    Korver - probably going to win
    Harden - dark horse, no one else in the competition takes as many difficult threes as he does IMO

    He does have an outside chance. I wont be surprised if he wins or comes in last. Three point contest is about who gets hot. Often who we consider the best shooter , loses. I mean Kevin Love and Paul Pierce have won in recent years. James is around the same level if not better 3pt shooters than them.

    I just hope he wins for trolling purposes. lol

    I think it would be cool if they did a round that was an extra 3-4 feet behind the line. See who has some real range.

    So ironic because when the 3pt contestants were first announced I was wishing he'd be in it. Always felt Harden could be a naturally good pure 3 point shooter.

    We'll find out, so excited to see it and he'll be battling his main 2 competitors in MVP race and 2 guard race. Also has history with Wes Matthews.

    This is going to be one of the better shootouts in recent years

    Just like some people are better at in-game dunks than AS ones, I think Harden is better at in-game 3s than AS 3s.

    Well it didn't have to go to a guard. The Commish already gave Kobe's spot to Boogie Cousins

    Wow. What is the 3-point lineup this year?

    Harden
    Curry
    Thompson
    Korver
    Irving?


    That's insane! Can't wait to watch it!

    Just figured it out. He won POTM twice in a row and planning on winning it for the rest of the year. Future awards this year ...

    - 3 pt king
    - all start MVP
    - Scoring champ
    - Defensive champ
    - Regular season MVP
    - Finals MVP
