5th time the charm? Dame really wants to win one of these lmao.

The NBA should extend the three point line to 35 feet for all contestants this year......

And say it's for social distancing reasons

5th best 3-point shooter on our team, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Dame just isn't the right kind of shooter to win this. Give him less time, move the three point line back, and put a defender in his face.

Agreed. It's like how Steph lost to Klay in the three-point contest one year--Klay is more robotically good at shooting. It's always the same and is going to shine in a repetition competition. Steph, like Lillard, is better at hitting difficult shots, potentially with an imperfect base or having to change mechanics to account for a defender.

I would bet that Trent would have a better chance of winning over Dame or CJ.

One change I’d like in the 3pt contest is having a teammate or someone the shooter prefers passing them the ball as they go around the spots. Grabbing a ball off a rack isn’t at all like a game situation and it would be fun seeing spot-up shooters get passes and then shoot, like what happens in real games.

Yeah I don’t think the 3 point contest is Dame’s thing. Dame is not a 42+% 3 point shooter. He’s a guy who can make all kinds of contested or difficult 3’s at a respectable clip. Trent should be the guy.

[AldoTrapani]

Rest? But he’s going to play in the all star game lol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Good! He has nothing to prove.

 

[Mr. Robot]

after he failed to win it multiple times, its a smart decision

 

[riverman]

after he failed to win it multiple times, its a smart decision

I'd say after a sleepless night with 2 new babies he made the decision...

 

[ehizzy3]

lol for rest, he should’ve just said he doesn’t want to do it

 

[riverman]

lol for rest, he should’ve just said he doesn’t want to do it

I think he just did

Is Dame staying home and sitting out ASG too?

 

[jlprk]

I am declaring my offical backing out from this thread due to rest purposes.

 

[Haakzilla]

R.I.P. City?

Power naps are awesome unless you're driving somewhere!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Give the spot to GTJ.

That would be awesome.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Maan. Thought we would have a player in every event.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Nope which is weird because the 3PT contest is just a fun quick warmup to these guys. Surprised he backed out

 

[twobullz]

Rumor is Steph is replacing him.
