Something we can all get behind. Let's make it happen!

"Almost halfway through the NBA season, San Antonio Spurs center Matt Bonner ranks tied at 122nd for three-pointers made with 30. Considering he is seldom used in coach Gregg Popovich's rotation -- Bonner averages just 11 minutes a game -- his three-point numbers are impressive, especially for a 6'10" big man. In fact, by shooting just a shade under 50 percent (49.2 percent) on his threes, Bonner leads the league in three-point percentage among qualified shooters. While his shot isn't as graceful as that of Steve Novak or Klay Thompson, Bonner's prowess from behind the arc has caught the attention of one avid basketball fan, the War on Drugs' Dave Hartley, who has since started an indie-rock campaign to get Bonner into the Three-Point Shootout during the NBA's All-Star weekend."

Liked. Hope MattyB gets a shot!

He can shoot. Great for him. He should be in the contest.

If he's in, I watch. If he's not, I don't.

Not that anyone cares, but at least that's where I stand, and I would guess most of Gator Nation.

3 points shy for Bonner Kyrie Irving won

20 point is pretty damn good score, alot of years that probably would have won. 23 is unbelievable good though.

I also tuned in to the dunk contest to see James White. Dude is an amazing high flying jumper but honestly has no creativity. Still it was a bit of a gip that he only got 45 on the first dunk and those other guys got full 50's. Didn't matter though, as he choked his second attempt. I was sort of pulling for him, it would have been the highlight of his career LOL

edit: also these contests are a joke, I'm remembering why I stopped watching NBA all-star games and the pre-game stuff about 15-20 years ago.

James White should have stayed at Florida. Billy might have actually taught him how to dribble a basketball.
