    who do you take in the 3 point contest?
    151 Stephen Curry (GS) +300
    152 Kyle Korver (ATL) +300
    153 Klay Thompson (GS) +325
    154 JJ Reddick (LAC) +600
    155 Wesley Matthews (POR) +800
    156 Marco Belinelli (SAS) +700
    157 James Harden (HOU) +650
    158 Kyrie Irving (CLE) +600

    It's just that close. No long shots.

    Can't lose putting a unit each on the splash brothers

    I like Belinelli @ +700. Wow is there a ton of juice in those prices.

        What juice are you referring? All of those prices are juice free.

          Well put it this way, one example of these prices being "juice-free" would be if each player were +700. Obviously the books are offering far less than that. That difference is the juice.

            If you consider -110 a fair standard then it would be completely foolish to make each player +700 if some are better than the others. It's not a lottery. All teams don't have the same chance to win the super bowl, world series, or NBA finals and the odds are weighted that way. Bellinelli at +700 is a great price if you think he is better than the splash brothers, Korver and Harden. Otherwise play the player you think will win despite the juice.

              The only reason I use +700 for all is to show you one "juice-free" example. Now compare that example to what is offered and you can see the books are offering far from full value on these bets. That is the juice, and it is far beyond -110.

                        I did. Easy money. Don't see why everyone didn't do it instead of over thinking it.

                              Should never lose in any 3 point contest. It's a layup to chicken curry.

                                I would like to see a 3 point contest with the shooters of today vs the shooters of yesterday eg. Kerr, Curry, Bird, Miller, Hodges, Price etc

                                Or even a pro vs amateur 3 point contest or dunk contest where you take the best in the pros vs the best from the street

                                Would be great entertainment

                                  I doubt the older guys would last. If there was a nationwide amateur competition winner, they might embarrass the NBA stars.

                                    I noticed last night that the more you had to jump to make a three the worse the ending because of tired legs and also dq'd on a few makes for being over the line like Reddick, the least likely that any amateur is even remotely close to competing with nba all stars in the 3 point completion. Maybe a free throw contest

                                      so it was NOT a layup to him the prior 3 years when he did not win any of the 3 point contests?

                                      he got hot last night, that's all it was.

                                        When fatigue became a factor he was the hottest. Who else do you want at the end of anything shooting a 3? If the field were any good they would have eliminated curry early before fatigue set in.
