Antoine Walker - not too accurate, but when he's on, he's on fire
Peja Stojakovic
David Wesley
Wesley Person
Pat Garrity
Brent Barry

Winner: If Antoine is on, he'll win, if not, it'll be David Wesley

nooooo, wesly shoots waaay to slow....He wont even finish...He just has a slow SET shot and i know wont win...Maybe peja or david wesly.

Undertaker · January 22, 2003 8:10AM

Antoine Walker - a bum power forward who doesn't even shoot 40% and has his own 3 point contest every single night
Peja Stojakovic - pretty good but doesn't seem the same like he was last season
David Wesley - he's ok
Wesley Person - very good shooter.. superb technique
Pat Garrity - bum
Brent Barry - one of the best shooters out there

I hope Brent Barry wins.. this guy is one of the most underrated shooters in the league.. if not THE most underrated..

Thylenol · January 22, 2003 8:16AM

I know brent has a chance....Look at david wesly, he shoots about 43% at the 3 making over 80 this season....I think thats pretty good...He can shoot pretty quick too, Wesly Person Can shoot REAL good too...He is shooting like 50% in 3 this year but his stroke is way to slow....Like last year or the year before i think. He didnt even finish .

If Barry won how many other people have won slam dunk and 3 point shootout, Garrity isnt a bum hes got a nice stroke.

vittleboy · January 22, 2003 9:23AM

First off John Barry got screwed he should be on there over that jag walker. Second no one has ever won the slam dunk and 3pt shootout and Brent Barry will be the first to do it. Its just to bad we wont be seeing a brother vs brother final

Allen · January 22, 2003 9:43AM

I was thinking the same thing about Bones. That would be sweet, the first to win both the Slam Dunk and 3-pt contest. I would have liked to see Pierce, Mike Redd, and maybe Robert Horry just for kicks lol.

Superstar5 · January 22, 2003 9:49AM

Finally a 3pt contest worth watching. I would love to see DW win, but he usually performs poorly in competitions (ie. 2 Ball Competition).

Vincecarder · January 22, 2003 9:51AM

Since the Slam dunk competition is going to be garbage...this will be worth watching.

Who ever says Peja isn't shooting well....have you seen the last couple games he's played? The guy is flying...his foot has finally healed. He will win it for the second year in a row man...wait and see.

duncangal · January 22, 2003 9:52AM

Stinks that Bruce Bowen didn't get selected, he is second in the league in 3 pt shooting....

zimmy3 · January 22, 2003 10:03AM

Where the heck is Michael Redd or Ray Allen? Come on now, Ray is only 2 years removed from winning it and Redd is really starting to light it up

jazz1232dc · January 22, 2003 10:18AM

I gotta pick David Wesley just because he lit up the Jazz in the Delta Center and hit like 6-8 on three pointers. Also, I think the Dunk contest will be awesome. JRich to repeat.

Allen · January 22, 2003 10:56AM

As much as I hate to say it... What about the new record holder -Kobe Bryant-
He could beat Bones to being the first to win the Slam Dunk Contest and the 3-pt Contest.

Thylenol · January 22, 2003 8:33PM

kobe would neveer win the 3pt contest.

Allen · January 23, 2003 5:05AM

Yeah, not like he made more 3's in a game than anyone in the history of the league...oh wait he did.

Thylenol · January 23, 2003 5:48AM

regardless( how ever u spell that,lol) He shoots slow too and was just hott. Id bet any amount of money that he wouldnt even come 2nd. He is just a real good jump shooter but not 3pt.

zimmy3 · January 23, 2003 6:47AM

Ok, lets use that logic. He had a great game and got that many 3's, so that must mean he is great. Should Mike Cameron have been in the HR Derby becauase he hit 4 HRs in a game last year? I mean he is tied for the most HRs in a regulation 9 inning game in history, so that MUST mean he deserves to be in the HR Derby

c0LLect0r · January 23, 2003 10:01AM

Zimmy took the words right out of my mouth in his earlier post. How could Ray Allen an Michael Redd not make it?!?!?! Ray is like 2nd in 3pointers made and Redd is like 4th or 5th in 3point percentage. That is ludacris they didn't make it.
