Should Kevin Martin be in the All Star 3-point shootout?

[tehG l i d e]

He's currently shooting at 40% for the season, leading the league. The same as what Brooks did last season. I was thinking AB could be included but he's having an off year so that's probably a no go. How do you think KMart would fair? Paul Pierce is going to be back for sure, and he challenged Ray Allen publicly, so their is the possibility the specialist himself could be in it as well. Morrow would be another good choice.

leading the league in 3 pointers made, not %*

I think Martin will be more well suited if there is a 3-point play contest.

[AggieRocketsFan]

I would like to see AB in the contest.

[highstep]

He would win the cherry picking competition

[ribbit]

As a Rockets fan... YES! Absolutely.

But because the Rockets are "irrelevant," I don't think they would include Kev Mart.

[apollo33]

I just realized Martin probably has an advantage in the 3 point contest because of his ugly form.

While other players have to pick up the ball and then go into his shooting motion, Martin's shooting motion begins when he picks it up from near his hip, and it wouldn't ruin his shot.

I want to see these 6 compete:

Pierce
Allen
Redick
Korver
Martin
Love

i'm glad you put love last...bc i would have immediately stopped reading :p i'm a little iffy on pierce as well

[Easy]

Martin can't shoot without the refs calling fouls. :grin:

[houseofglass21]

Yeah it's ridiculous if he's not going to be included. Martin is a great shooter and I bet he would smoke Pierce and Allen.

[vinsensual]

His weird release doesnt get enough national attention.

Pierce is the defending champ, and Love's shooting 44% from 3-pt range this season (10th best in the NBA). He's already hit 65 3s, more than Morrow, House, Nash, and Gay.

Dorell Wright leads the league.

[wikiwiki]

Is there a 3-point-on-the-fastbreak shootout? :D 'Cause he is like 98% or something on those. It's ridiculous.

[RoxBeliever]

He has a slow wind-up on his release though, so that might be a disadvantage for him.

Unless there was a guy in front of him getting his wrist slapped on the release, resulting in 3 free throws each time.

[eeeZZY]

kevin martin should def. be in it. i think i rather see him than AB, unless AB was shooting like he was last season.

[MrJason]

Martin should definitely do it.

The only problem is that he'll make it to the final round then do his disappearing act again.

As they alluded to, probably better off in the Free Throw shooting contest. Oh wait... :p

[TheRealist137]

He would probably flop on all his shots

[heypartner]

Not even that. He's tied for 3rd in FGM. Not sure what OP was stating.

[RocketDonut]

Not even that. He's tied for 3rd in FGM. Not sure what OP was stating.

Maybe FTs made? He leads Kevin Durant by 12 right now with 370.

HAHA thats so true

[apollo33]

There should be a offensive flopping contest

[CCorn]

There should be a offensive flopping contest
Ginobli would win hands down though

[HoustonN06]

I'd love to see a Rocket in something and if KMART was in the 3 point contest that would be great.

[gambingo]

The player i would like to see in the 3 pt contest is Anthony Morrow. He's shooting 44% from 3pt land this season and avg 45% career :eek:

Why has he not been invited?

[AggieRocketsFan]

Courtney Lee did publicly announce that he wanted to be in it, not sure what happened with that tho...

[mario_v]

Martin should be in the 3point shootout. Theres gotta be at least 1 rockets player in all star weekend.

[Da_Spark]

Exactly. At least there should be some sort of Houston representation. Been trying to start Kev-Mart to the all-star 3pt shooting contest campaign on twitter.

[DCHAMP]

He would win the cherry picking competition

funny... :rolleyes:

[tmoney1101]

We don't need him hurting his wrist taking jump shots.
