My first reaction to the 3 point shooting participants is "WTF is Dame doing there!?" Bro is trying to tear his ACL again? I'm cheering for Knueppel to win this thing. Would be cool to have a rookie win a contest.
McClung is not participating after his 3-peat. Hopefully the young guys will put on a show.

Bill Simmons was talking about how cool it would be if they introduced a Royal Rumble element to the All Star game.
I think he's right that it would be more fun to not know who's participating until they run out onto the court and that it could potentially be former players.
3 point contest should be fun.
