Richardson is going to enter the 3 point contest this year. Will he be the first to be the master of the rim and the arc? Stay tuned.

"Hopefully I can be the first one to do it," Richardson said. "That shows a lot about my game, that I'm not just a dunker."

Hope he can pull it off. Good luck to him!

 

[Shzm13]

Go J-rich!!

 

[Goldfield]

That would be cool

 

[Cheesewater]

Darn, now I have to watch.

 

[Black Jesus]

Speaking of All Star game stuff, does anyone know what sort of uniforms the players will be wearing at this years game? It seems like some years the players just wear their home or road jerseys, but other years they have special All Star jerseys. I really prefer the latter, because sometimes they come out hilariously obnoxious like they did in 95:

OK I got Deke, Shaq, Mitch Richmond and Stockton lurking in the background.

Who's that on the left??

It looks more like Karl Malone to me. He's taller/buffer looking than Chuck.

EDIT: Also what the heck is this crap:

Ceballos was not an All Star, and the year of his Hocus Pocus dunk was 1992. So uh, why does this jersey exist?

Double Edit: If anyone's looking for a purple Shaq jersey to buy but don't want to be boring and just get the Suns normal away uni, check out this gem:

They also have Majerle from 95 as well in the wests home white (too bad they didn't rock orange, it would've been even more obnoxious)

No way will they let JRich do it. There is a reason why they only let young players do it. It is because they are on their rookie scale contracts.

He's not entering the dunk contest, just the 3pt shootout. He wants to be the 1st guy to win both (since he's already a 2x dunk champ).

OIC. I thought he wanted to do both in the same year. That would have been awesome to see at any event.

I wanted to see the slam dunk contest until I realized that tickets are like $400 per for the cheap seats!!

No thanks.

I thought the same thing from the thread title.

400 for the dunk contest? Maybe back in the day. Now, that is just stupid.

Yeah you're right....shoulda known that simply due to the fact that Stockton is in there too.

It depends. Will he be drinking before the 3 point contest? He is great at tipping the RIM of his glass...we know that.

Just kidding.

At least he could have shots and stay outside the lane (during the 3 point contest) and not get penalized.

Ba dum da.
