Three-point Shootout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Three-point Shootout is a National Basketball Association All-Star Weekend contest held on the Saturday before the All-Star Game. Competitors try to score as many points as possible in one minute. There are five ball racks laid out over the three point arc: one on each baseline, one halfway between the baseline and the top of the arc on each side, and one at the top of the arc.
Each rack has five balls, four of which are worth one point (the standard orange balls) and the fifth one (a red, white, and blue ball; nicknamed the "money ball") is worth two points. Thus a perfect score is 30 points.
In the first round each contestant has one chance to score as many points as possible. The three with the top three scores advance to the finals. From 1986 to 2002, there were eight participants in each seasons shootout. However, since then, six players typically take part in the contest. The final round is played in the same way as the qualifying round.
Larry Bird and Craig Hodges have both won three straight times. Hodges holds the single round scoring record with 25 points, as well as the record for consecutive made shots at 19 (which was not in the same round as the 25 points).
