Frye and Gillinari are the two best 3 point shooters this season, when you account for percentage and *volume*. (You can cherry pick all the stats you want, but each is shooting over 40% with 100 more attempts than our guys.) I like Billups and Pierce's inclusion because it's nice to have All-Star Sunday players participating in the marquee Saturday events (ahem, Lebron). They are also shooting over 40% with more attempts than our guys. Cook gets an automatic invite on the "strength" of last year's performance. So really, it's Curry and our guys -- along with a number of other similarly situated players. The stats are pretty comparable. I'm disappointed, but I don't besmirch the NBA for wanting to promote a four year college player over one of the so-called "Lebrons."

No Gibson or Parker in the 3-pt shootout? Gimme a break. It’s annoying that Cleveland continually gets disrespected but, honestly, we knew this was coming. No Gibson or Parker in the 3-pt shootout?
