N.O. Sleep - Three-Point Shootout


Gibson, Rip, Peja, Kapono, Nash, and the Replacement Killer (for the injured Kobe Bryant): Dirk Nowitzki. It will rain 3’s tonight.

-Rip is the first one to have a go. He does okay, but not sure if it’s good enough.

-Wait, are my eyes fooling me? Is the Junkyard Dog Jerome Williams in the house? Whoa!

-And now my eyes hurt from seeing Damon Jones with that weird Mohawk-kind-of-haircut. Life is simple: if your first name isn’t “Mr”, your middle name isn’t “period” and your last name isn’t “T”, you can’t get away with a Mohawk.

-Rip had a foot over the line, they detract points.

-Gibson on repeat from the Rookie Game? Hmm…. I’m not impressed. Yet. Both he and Rip aren’t shooting th lights out, so to speak.

-Steve Nash, once again called a three-time MVP by the Dutch announcers. Unbelievable.

-Nash is shooting like his new teammate Shaq from three-point range. This will undeniably be an early exit for Steve. And he knows it.

-Spike Lee is in attendance too. If there is anybody who still hasn’t seen “When the Levees Broke”, you should be ashamed.

-The Replacement Killer only hit one ball from the first rack. Even shot an airball, but heats up after that. I’m still not quite impressed.

-Peja gives the New Orleans crowd not much to cheer about. He makes up for it on the final two racks, but damn, he missed a whole lot of shots.

-The defending champion and the best three-point shooter in the NBA closes out the final round. And Kapono leads the pack heading into the next and final round, where he will face Dirk and Gibson.

-Since Mr. T was named, did you see the chain on Amaré Stoudemire? Mr. T clearly wouldn’t pity this fool.

-Why is LeBron wearing a raincoat? He looks like a private detective. A 6-8, build like a tank private detective.

-Gibson does alright, but is it enough to beat Dirk and Kapono? Dirk is up.

-Dirk is shooting like he’s facing the Warriors. All the Kidd talk is making everyone nervous. This one is for Kapono to win.

-Holy Craig Hodges! Kapono ties the all-time record with 25 points, and is once again the champ. Pat Riley is rolling over in his grave for not having him on the Heat anymore. Even Dwyane Wade is happy for Kapono, and rightfully so.
