]]> Tonight, James Jones will try to repeat as the NBA 3-point shooting champion in Orlando. Last year, he beat out a loaded field, but this year Jones faces a unique field of players.

One of the people Jones will be competing against is his Miami teammate, Mario Chalmers. Chalmers has had a great season from three-point range, where he is 6th in the league with a 45.6% average from downtown.
He will also be facing 2 All-Stars in Kevin Love and Kevin Durant. They both have the lowest percentages out of the competitors, but they have shown that they can knock down the long ball.
The other 2 competitors are Anthony Morrow of the New Jersey Nets, who will be wearing a Drazen Petrovic jersey to honor the former Nets start, and Ryan Anderson, the surprising Magic player who has had a breakout season and is shooting 42% from 3-point land.

Tonight, the two Heat teammates will face off in the 3-point shootout

It should be a very interesting contest, but it’s good to know that the Heat have a 33% chance of winning it. Tune in tonight to support your Heat!

Norris Cole: Biggest Snub from the Rising Stars Game - All U Can Heat - All U Can Heat - A Miami Heat Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> Today the NBA announced who would be participating in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge, the former Rookie vs Sophomore game. The Heat have no second year players that deserve to play, but they do have one special rookie who didn’t get chosen. That rookie is energetic point guard Norris Cole.

Of course the NBA will choose rising stars Ricky Rubio and Kyrie Irving, but is it fair to say that Brandon Knight is a better point guard than Cole? Yes, he is the face of the Pistons now, but on the season he is playing better than Norris? Knight averages 32 minutes a game compared to Cole’s 20. In 12 extra minutes a night, Knight only averages 4 points, an assist, and a rebound more.

The NBA just wants to have as many big names as they can in the game and that’s why Norris Cole wasn’t selected. He is a late 1st round draft pick out of Cleveland State and wouldn’t give the league another big name to put in the game. His play has also dropped recently and he has been shooting erratically, but make no mistake, Norris Cole will be in an All-Star Game one day. It is just a shame that the Heat have no one representing them in this game.
