    Another interesting factor could be that since Cat is left handed, he would probably be more comfortable shooting on the right side of the racks (instead of reaching across his body if he was on the left side). So when he goes rack to rack he would have to run on the other side which would take a bit longer. But in the end its probably not a big deal.

    Meow, do you know how many three pointers that Cat can make?

    Does Cat look like a little kitten meow?! All "nimbly-bimbly" meow?!

    They let Walker in? What's his 3-point %? .123? Of course, that does not stop him from shooting like 5 threes a game...

    Mobley is going to play in the 3 point contest!!!

    Just heard it on 610am. Going against Brent Barry, Detroit’s Chauncey Billups, Denver’s Voshon Lenard, and Seattle’s Rashard Lewis.

    Stojakovic will be attempting to join Larry Bird and Craig Hodges as the only players to win the competition in three consecutive years.

    As much as I'd like to see Cat win, I think Peja will

    They should have let Ray in too!:mad:

    As long as Barry doesn't try to pull the "I'll win in warmups" act again, he should give Peja a good run. Still, the other players are mostly streak players, so if they get on a roll, then it's going to get interesting...

    On the dunk contest, why don't they just have a "Sprite Rising Stars" dunk contest and another contest for the established stars? I'm getting tired of seeing DMase vs JRich all the time. And havin RJeff and Amare in there wasn't too exciting either.

    Didn't they used to have 8 people in the contest? If so, it's easier to 3-peat now than it used to.

    I think they should have 8 people - the 3 point shootout is my favorite part to watch, so I'd like to see 2 more people competing.

    Trivia question: Would Barry be the first guy to win the 3-point contest after he won the dunk contest?

    I just hope Cat doesn't pull a Walker or a Pierce.

    Are there betting odds on the three point shootout? You have to figure Rashard or Mobley is probably a 20 or 30 to 1 shot. Anything can happen...could be an easy way to make a couple hundred bucks...

    Remember what happened to Pete Rose; you could be banned from the Clutch Fan BBS Poster Hall of Fame. ;)
