I'm really excited to see Kobe in this contest as he is not a "3 point specialist" like most of the others.

 

[eaglebball1499]

Rip in the 3-pt shootout? Strange...

Anyhow, Peja and Kobe are the big names, but I like Boobie as the underdog.

 

[the wizard]

Kobe?
WHAT?
I can't wait to see that.

 

[mrmoneyindabank]

Rip, and Kobe seem outta place to me. I'm takin Peja cuz its in NO

 

[bigmike23]

*%% RIP?? thats going to be embrassing

 

[thekingofva]

Why is Kobe and Rip there?

 

[the pga tour]

i was hoping eddie house or ray allen would be in it.

let me be the first to say, my money is on Kobe.

 

[downtown43]

kobe just made it as a big name to get people to watch. he isn't top 50 in 3PT%. and he isn't top 20 in 3PT made

i see Kapono easily taking this one

 

[iceman3699]

Nice to finally see Kobe in it...nice to see Nash in it again as well.

 

[dman14]

put a raptor defender on him, and i swear kobe can win this thing. i bet he shoots better with someone guarding him.

 

[presequel]

Kobe just doing it for fun, like the skills competition last year. Don't expect him to win.

It's prob just to gain more interest in watching.

 

[fede dpt]

I love Kobe, but damn duke is shooting 33%

 

[jville819]

Peja ftw

 

[bullsrepeat3peat]

Rip and KB are not for the 3pt shootout IMO........

 

[swendro]

rip and kobe will just be trying to beat each other i think. they weretalking about it when the pistons and lakers played last week.

 

[thachosen123]

Nash FTW

 

[you big dummy]

Stern must be desparate for ratings

 

[e3lal]

By adding Kobe and Rip, more people should be watching the contest. I know I will now. I wonder if Kobe will tell them to move back the spots and ball racksjust like raising the rim in the dunk contest.

It would make it moreentertaining. This should be a great All-Star weekend.

 

[dyyhard]

Rip and KB are not for the 3pt shootout IMO........

true, but if Q could win it...

 

[eg47]

Only way Kobe wins -

If he takes fadeaway 3pts with a defender infront of him.

 

[crazy ebw]

Kobe

 

[jordanxi45]

Glad to see Kobe in it....Ray Allen should replace RIP.

Seems so, because I'm pretty sure there are many more players with better 3pt% higher than Kobe's 35%.

 

[sw33nskill]

Where is Korver??? Gibson wins it

 

[theone2401]

at people betting a against Kobe.
