Klay Thompson Wins 2016 Three-Point Contest

For those of you keeping score at home, the Warriors are one game ahead of the “95-’96 Bulls” pace through 52 games, and will need to finish the regular season 25-5 to take possession of the record. NBA Day event, part of the All-Star festivities in Toronto on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016.

Klay Thompson may have forced Steph Curry to retire from the Three-Point Contest. This year, Klay Thompson won the contest, and even though Golden State knew he was a great athlete, he still left them stunned.

“We love to shoot against each other”, Thompson said. LaVine successfully defended his title in Saturday’s Verizon Slam Dunk Contest against Orlando Magic Aaron Gordon in the final round that included two tie-breakers.

Bosh pulled out of the All-Star Game and the three-point contest over the weekend because of what he and the Heat described as a calf strain.

“He was cool to talk to, he gave me a lot of props, told me to tell my pops hi and my uncle”, Thompson said.

” Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns opened the night by winning the Skills challenge”.

Meanwhile, in the Verizon Slam Dunk contest, another Timberwolves shone as guard Zach LaVine defended the title he won a year ago.

Of course, Jordan’s comments likely won’t have any impact on Golden State trying to supplant the 1995-96 Bulls as the winningest team in National Basketball Association regular-season history.

He was shut down at the All-Star break last season because a blood clot had found its way to one of his lungs, and that issue is something that Bosh believes started as a calf problem.

All-star weekend has come and gone, leaving a Saturday night in its wake that will be discussed for years to come for what happened on the court or what froze off it. Thompson had 17 points entering the final rack and knocked down all five money-ball shots.

“He definitely shot well tonight”.

“The way that he finished off that second round was unbelievable”, Curry said. “The pressure of knowing what number he had to hit and making five out of five was fun to watch”. “For us to be together on the same team is a blessing”, Towns said. “This is for all the bigs out there, with the game changing the way it is, to show that bigs can stand up with guards and skillwise”.
