Three-Point Contest Will Be The Highlight of All-Star Saturday

2015 Foot Locker Three-Point Contest

If you are not impressed by the contestants for this year's NBA Dunk Contest, then you will be overly impressed by the contestants for the Three-Point Contest. Two early MVP candidates, two teammates, and one all-time great shooter will be included.

The NBA has released it's star-studded lineup for the Foot Locker Three-Point Contest.

Marco Bellini (returning Champion)
Klay Thompson
Stephen Curry
James Harden
Kyle Korver
Wesley Matthews
Kyrie Irving
J.J. Redick

Not only do we get to see the "Splash Brothers" compete, but we get a head-to-head matchup with early MVPs James Harden and Steph Curry.

Kyle Korver could statistically become the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history and the only player with a 20-point checklist for attempting a shot.

Kyrie Irving was the MVP of the 2014 NBA All-Star game and the youngest player in the field.

The other event to keep your eye on Saturday is the Taco Bell Skills Challenge. This event puts the best young guards through a gauntlet to test their speed, passing, shooting, and agility. Participants are:

John Wall
Trey Burke
Kyle Lowry
Jeff Teague
Jimmy Butler

For all your NBA All-Star coverage, stay with us! We will be there!
