3-Point Contest!

There are five different shooting rounds and there are four balls that are worth 1 point and 1 multi-colored ball that are worth 2 points in each rack. The three best scorers of the first round advances to the final round! 

Participants are: James Jones (Heat), Daniel Gibson (Cavs), Ray Allen (Celtics), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Durrell Right (Warriors), and Paul Pierce (Celtics).

In this case, Paul Pierce, James Jones, and Ray Allen advanced through the first round and made it to the second round. However, the other three that didn't make it to the 2nd round deserved it (my opinion). First, Kevin Durant is the best scorer of the NBA. However, his 3-point shooting style is not the type that can win a 3-point contest. During games, he uses his legs a lot, so in a contest where he has limited time to shoot, his shooting style is not the right type. Daniel Gibson and Durrell Right are two players who I really like. However, these players are also the type of players that need someone to pass the ball to. When they are the option in the perimeter, they are very dangerous players.

Paul Pierce, the defending champion, is not a player I like to commend on. This player is slow, rotund, and not the right type of shooter. I don't like his shooting form. To be honest, I don't like this player. So, I won't say anything except that he did horribly this contest.

James Jones, the champion, is a very well-rounded player. His shooting form is very well adjusted. Though he's a player who also likes to be fed on, he did an outstanding job that day.

Ray Allen, the all-time 3-point shots leader, should have won the contest. His skills are outstanding and as a all-time leader himself, he should've won the contest. I hope Ray wins the next contest!
