Stories such as this tends to make me extremely sad, I’m sure it is cleache to say if we are able to all merely get along, but how much more of this stuff are all of us gonna suffer?

I think the 3 pt contest could be modified to remove the time limit and have the players compete in an around-the-world fashion. When not under the pressures of defense and a time limit, most great shooters will be in the 80%+ range. This would put a higher premium on not missing and get rid of the stupid points system with the money ball, which doesn’t necessarily reward the guy who makes the most shots.
We had somewhat of a preview in the flubbed HORSE contest when KD and Rondo were forced into “sudden death” at the 3 pt line. Both guys nailed shot after shot until one guy eventually missed more than the other. Expand on this and there is your “improved” 3 pt shootout.

Rob…
Like every other basketball fan that watched that dunk contest disappointed, I feel changes are in order.
The NBA’s going to have to do something to keep people’s interest.
I think there’s plenty of opportunity there to bring it back to what it needs to be.
Here’s my take…http://sportschump.net/2010/02/14/dunk-you-very-little-nba/2972/
