Buddy Hield wins NBA 3 Point Shootout!

[Cojc]

Tonight is the only night of all star weekend I watch and if Buddy wasn’t in it I would of watched something else.
Yes he performed great and I loved watching it.

Thanks and congrats to you Buddy.

Pretty sure Steph Curry won a 3-Pt shooting championship before an NBA championship too.

I just remembered that Peja didn’t win the shoot out the first time he was in it. He won his 2nd time out. And third.

Hopefully Buddy can follow suit by repeating next year!

If you can't say something nice in a celebratory thread, say nothing at all.

Congrats Buddy! Watched this tonight at my dinner and was very happy!

 

[kingsboi]

good for Buddy, the last King to win a three point shootout was Peja before tonight.

This was a lot of fun to watch, Thanks Buddy and congratulaions

 

[KainLear]

Only negative thing I will say is, I wish he was in our Royal purple winning this.

 

[jcassio]

Congrats, Buddy! You make us proud!
I say, however, that you being in a 6th man role on the Kings means you have something extra to say. And that was your secret weapon in this contest. Go Buddy!

One sentence of this is totally undecipherable to me... Glad the Kings media team filled in the gap.

Nice win and great to have something for the team and fans to celebrate.

Won it on the last shot; Buddy Clutch!

NBA2K's twitter didn't even bother to put Buddy on their graphic. That's some huge amount disrespect for someone who is hitting 3s at a historical rate.

Good, I say! We are just the dumpster fire that's known as the Kangz to the national media. If Bubby is as big a fan of Kobe as he claims, anything and everything should be fuel to him. #MJ #Mamba

Great W! Buddy is absolutely perfect for the contest the way he launches 3s. 3pt contest outside of a dunk contest (Gordon vs Lavine) here or there has been by far my favorite part of all-star weekend for awhile. Glad to see Buddy get some love and get a win for the Kings

 

[Cojc]

Listening to the commentary during 3 point event they talked about the difference in the way Buddy shot and most of the others.

It seems Buddy by his performance is a killer shooter when he can get set for the shot. But we already now that and by our team moving the ball around to get open looks for not only Buddy but also Bogi would really pay dividends .

Hope to see more of that in the future.
Again great job buddy.

Buddy buckets is my favorite type of Buddy! Congrats to him. He might go hot and cold during real games but one thing is for sure, the man can shoot a basketball.

This is just them listing the players by 3pt rating in the game. They update their ratings every few weeks based upon real life performance. I believe Buddy was a top 5 3pt shooter in the game when it was released before he tanked badly to start the season. But still, they should've stuck his name at the bottom. It's not like there's limited room lol.

I suspect it will go back up.

 

[Suicide King]

Congrats Buddy, well deserved

Buddy can fill it up. It might inevitable that he gets traded. It is entirely likely that he could become an all-star on a better team with more options.
The man is one of the greatest shooters in the history of the League. The Kings are still trying to figure out how to use him better.
