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.

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...

Lol. No they wont. :rolleyes:
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.

Did I ever compare the two??? NO!!!

I said Kapono COMPLAINED untill they invited him.
Yes he COMPLAINED on TV and Radio.
The NBA was forced to let him in after what he was doing...Yea he lit it up but he was complaing like a biitch...

Think KMart has a shot? He's shooting 41% from behind the arc.
