Kyle Korver will replace Brent Barry at the 3-point contest. I think he will give Peja a run for the title!

Korver better beat therealdeal






oh, I mean Peja

 

[spongyfungy]

come on... I can't believe they said no to TMAC.

Nothing against Korver but I don't like his nickname k-squared.

I wanted to see t-mac too, but I think Korver is almost as good an addition. The one thing he excels in is shooting threes, it´s nice to see a specialist going up against Peja.

 

[GNG]

Awesome. :greatjob:

He deserved to be there over most the guys anyways. Now we need Mobley to come down with hemerrhoids so Mike Redd can take his spot.

 

[spongyfungy]

Redd too deserves to be in. Kyle, well I remember watching a philly game and the commentator was angry that K^2 wasn't in the contest. (what a lame nickname)

 

[MLKG]

Hmmm, great 3-point shooter, but by the looks of their original selections it looked like they were sticking with guys who are starters, there are a lot of bench guys who can shoot.

Well if you don't like it, I can't believe they are going to let him
in the All-Star contest.

Why isn't Ray Allen in this again?

 

[ToddMacCulloch11]

Korvers the man.

I dont think Tmac would be very good in the 3pt shooting contest. He is definitely not a set shooter, more of a jumpshooter. He might jump higher on his threes than anyone in the league. In the competition, he'd probably barely get half-way around.

I don't see a problem w/ t-mac not being able to get to the other end.. In pregame/halftime shootaround, I see him just drilling 3's back to back only missing a few..

I think Keith Bogans can make it in the future. I saw him take several set 3's just standing there waiting for the easy 3. I never saw him miss a 3 actually..

With his back problems, it would be pretty stupid for him to enter the dunk contest.

That selection just insured the title for Peja, as no rookie has ever handled the pressure. Barry has the perfect set shot, has a nice release - quick but not overly so, and is competitive enough(he did win the dunk contest) to have given Peja some competition.

Now, with Barry out and a rookie in? I suggest it is all over, but the cheers for Peja.

Probably because he is suffering some nagging injuries. I remember him in this before - did he win it?

:yes: He was the last player not named Peja to win. He won it while on Milwaukee in 2001.

That's what I thought - I couldn't remember how many times he was in it and when he had finally won it .

I still think he has some nagging injuries that kept them from inviting him back.
