Nobody thinks these are the absolute best 3pt shooters in the league.  But they are all stars (other than Malik Beasley).  

Why can't the dunk contest do this?  Crazy that we have a bunch of role players and sub-NBA players in what is historically the highest profile event of the entire weekend.  The legendary dunk contests are the most memorable thing about the All-Star weekend in the entirety of the NBA's history.  Nobody remembers any particular game or performance in the actual game very long.  You remember just a few big moments from the 3pt contest but the dunk contest is replete with stuff that lives in our memories.  But sure let's give that to guys who aren't even rotation players in 2023-24.

Lebron pretty much to blame for that.

Given how hot and cold he can be, I'll have my fingers crossed.  Would love to see him win this and get some positive attention for him and the team.

They put this in a black and white photo, to create the illusion that he has a "silver" shoe that looks like this.

Media manipulation is in full force now.

 

Here are the Trae 3 Colorways

As long as he doesn't pull a Jeff Teague "too cool for school" performance.

More likely some sort of 'gray to look silver' but definitely with the silver 3 stripes like these mint green ones.

I was never the biggest Teague fan but was happy for him that he got into an All-Star game with the immaculate January team play.  Now feel a little bad that he is a gif for failure with the blown layup.  Whatever his limatations, that is usually a money shot for him just missed in a very public moment.

Has anyone ever noticed any other Hawks or other NBA players wearing Trae’s shoes? 
Is that even a thing? Do any players ever wear other player’s shoes if they don’t have their own line?

I know folks wore Kobe’s against Kobe. Not sure others but probably. Tucker wears Ruben Patterson 3.0’a aka the “the Kobe stoppers”.
