Anthony Morrow Makes First Career NBA 3-Point Shooting Competition

I’m not sure how Morrow hasn’t been invited to the contest before, but regardless, I’m picking him as my favorite to win

According to the Star Ledger’s Colin Stephenson, Nets’ shooting guard Anthony Morrow has been invited to participate in the annual 3-Point Shooting Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend, which takes place later this month in Orlando. Frankly, this invitation is definitely deserved and is long overdue for a sharpshooter like Morrow who is the 2nd-most efficient 3-point shooter in the history of the NBA, just .011 percentage points behind leader Steve Kerr.

Morrow’ invitation means that the Nets will have three of their own players participating in All-Star Weekend in addition to three of the Springfield Armor’s, the Nets’ D-League affiliate, players who will be playing in the D-League All-Star Game. Marshon Brooks will be playing in the Rookie/Sophomore game and, of course, Deron Williams will be playing in the actual NBA All-Star Game. For the first time in awhile, I will actually be able to have a rooting interest in that weekend’s festivities because I can’t stand rooting in games/contests that no Nets are in. Fans/selection committees, you done good!
