The best Marksmen in NBA will shoot the lights out once again in the NBA All-Star Floot Locker Three-Point Contest. Reigning Champion James Jones of Miami Heat will defend his title this time against Anthony Morrow( New Jersey Nets) , Kevin Love(Minnesota),Mario Chalmers(Miami Heat),Ryan Anderson(Orlando) and Kevin Durant(Oklahoma Thunders) which replace in aid of Joe Johnson who has an injury.
Last year Jones bested the Celtics duo of Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to grabbed the Title as he scored 20 shots against 18 and 15 from Paul Pierce and Ray Allen respectively.
Prediction:
- If Ryan Anderson will top or at least be 2nd after the first round, a big possibility that he might win.
- Kevin Durant can endure a 3 round shooting contest but will he have the pulse to start this going?
- James Jones is shooting a little lower percentage this year compare to last year. His playing time also had been trimmed since the arrival of Mike Miller and Shane Battier
- Kevin Love will be will exit after the first round.
- Anthony Morrow will be the dark horse.
