The first 11 games Harden was a pretty bad 27.4% Since then(38 games) he has shot 41.8% Outside of that slow start his 3 point shooting has been great this year. He becomes just that much more lethal when he's hitting 3s at or above 40%.
Curry has lost 3 times, Korver has lost twince. Just because a player is a better pure shooter doesn't mean anything in the 3PT contest. The best shooter doesn't always win. Hopefully Harden will shine
Cool! I can't remember the last time a Rocket was in a skill challenge, except Lin his first year here. The three point shooters rumored to be in it are very exciting. Klay Curry Korver Matthews Harden This may be the year the three point shoot-out attracts more people than the dunk contest.
27.4 is bad but its not Lance-bad. Lance Stephenson is shooting 14% on three this year and 12% on three point spot up positions. LOL
