February 7, 200818 yr I will take Nash. What? Not Kobe? I may have to sit a spell and pinch myself to make sure my sugar isn't bottoming out.
February 7, 200818 yr Rip Hamilton? Can he shoot threes? I thought his range stopped at college line? I'll take Peja...been there and done that.
February 7, 200818 yr What? Not Kobe? I may have to sit a spell and pinch myself to make sure my sugar isn't bottoming out. I can see him not taking Kobe b/c Kobe is a jump shooter. To be successful in the 3 point contest generally players will have just that slight hop to their shots, but Kobe pretty much takes a full jumper, which could wear him down and take a lot of time off the clock. I wondered about Rip myself, but he is shooting a pretty good percentage this year.

Should be fun to watch.
February 11, 200818 yr Didn't Kobe Bryant once hit 12 3's in one game? Tied for the NBA record. If he gets hot he can surely win it.
February 11, 200818 yr Am I making this up or was Kobe in the skills competition a couple of years ago?
