All-Star Game Recap: Skills Competition & Three-Point Contest

Bob

,

Like any good All-Star celebration, the more people you have involved the merrier. That's why I love the NRF Skills Competition & Three-Point Contest that make everyone feel like an All-Star. With that in mind, let's see how everyone did:

Foamposite - 29.2 seconds
Shox - 34.2 seconds
Terminator - 35.1 seconds
Delta Force - 37 seconds (with only two people)
Uptempo - 37.6 seconds
Huarache - 54.1 seconds
Air Force 1 - 68 seconds
Dunk - 69 seconds
Hyperflight - 91 seconds
Generation - Didn't finish (Rafael DaSilva went down in flames)

For the Three-Point Contest, people got busy! Let me break down the first round scores for you:

Scott Williams - 16
Lou Miguel - 16
Bobbito Garcia - 14
Jose Carlson - 14
Josh Gotthelf - 13
Billy Dodson - 13
Terance Takyi - 13
Justin Leonard - 12
Brian Saul - 12
Brandon Smith - 11
Thomas Harden - 10
Rafael DaSilva - 10
Tony Chan - 9
Mike Tumberello - 7
Cory Hogan - 6
DJ Reason - 4
Scott Hurwitz - 3
Derrin Woodhouse - 3

So advancing on to the next round was Scott WilliamsLou MiguelBobbito Garcia and Jose Carlson. So once it got down to this bunch, you knew it was going to come down to the same two guys that have been battling in the Three-Point Contest for the past four years: Bobbito and Lou. Williams finished with 18 and Carlson finished with 10, but it was Garcia and Miguel that tied for 19. We went to overtime.

In the extra frame, Garcia was simply in the zone, finishing with 22 to beat Miguel's 18. "I'm going to retire from the NRF Three-Point Contest," said Garcia after the match. "Next year, I'm going to be gunning to be voted into the All-Star Game.

In case you didn't know the history, Garcia last won the contest in 2007, while Miguel took the crown in 2008 & 2009.
