Rip in the 3pt contest

[Pugz]

Rip the 3-point king?

Richard Hamilton wants to compete in the 3-point shootout during All-Star weekend. He's dead serious.

"The only reason I'm so interested in it is because everybody underestimates me, saying I can't shoot 3s," he said. "Since the LB (Larry Brown ) era, they still aren't giving me respect on my 3s. This is my chance to prove them wrong."

Hamilton led the league in 3-point percentage two years ago, and he's currently fifth in the league at 46.7 percent. He shot a rack of balls from all five stations during shoot-around Tuesday, and hit 22 of 30.

"All that running around and shooting, that's what I do," he said.

Hamilton, who has averaged 25.3 points and shot 63 percent over the last six games, was told that Chauncey Billups finished dead last in the event two years ago.

"I ain't Chauncey," he said. "He can't shoot 3s better than me."

I wanna see him in it I mean he will prolly lose but atleast he would have been in it.

 

[.GR]

They aint gonna put him in it just cuz he says he wants to!

 

[X-Factor]

ITS TRUE! he s under estimated.

 

[$tunna]

I want to see him come ad back this up like he probably can

Too bad the 3-point contest doesn't include mid range jumpers...

 

[.GR]

Kevin Martin should be in their over him!

Yea they would.


And CC he can shoot three's he just don't shoot them as much as everyone else.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Rip's not in it, and he shouldn't be...

He's not an elite 3-pt shooter in this league.

Billups could be in it again, although he constantly is and never wins, but Rip is a midrange guy...

Yea they would.

Lol. No they wont.

 

[Pugz]

Lol. No they wont.

Last year Kapono complianed untill he got in...He lead the league with like a 58% fg raiting...

And CC just cuz he is a Midrange guy does not mean he couldn't be in he can shoot them he just don't shot a lot...

It wouldn't bother me if he got in and looses and it wouldn't bother me if he doesn't get in.

I just would like to see him in it.

Kapono is the best 3 pt shooter in NBA HISTORY % wise. So dont even compare the two.
