I’m thinking about all the dudes who I think should be in the All-Star Weekend three-point contest, and the only conclusion that I can come to is that the NBA needs to expand the field. By a lot. They increased it to 10 last year, which is a nice start, and shows they’re willing to make the changes needed, but a mere 10 shooters falls laughably short of my ideal. I’m thinking, like, 50 to 60. That way no one gets snubbed, and the fans get to see a LOT more threes. Moree threes = more fun, and the correlation doesn’t degrade as you get to higher and higher numbers. The true ideal would be for every NBA player (even the ones that literally never shoot threes) to make an appearance, but I’m willing to grant that the logistics might not work out at this point in time.
I have a feeling that Tyler Herro is going to get snubbed. It’s just a feeling, but my feelings usually turn out to be right. I was right about Jennifer not really loving me after all, wasn’t I? I totally was. And I’m going to be right about this one too. This brings me no joy, because I want to see Herro dominate all the bitchbabies that think they can hang with him when it comes to shooting from behind the arc, but I do want people to remember that I predicted the snub.
If any Heat player gets in, it’s going to be Duncan Robinson. Herro has a reputation of being able to do more stuff on the court than just shoot threes, whereas Robinson pretty much is only a shooter. To put it another way: Robinson is basically born for the contest, and Herro is born to play in actual All-Star games.
Yeah, I’m optimistic for him, so what?
