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!

He deserves it.

Norris Cole was added to the BBVA Rising Stars Game tonight, along with Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks.

It should be a great All-Star weekend for Miami Heat fans. That makes it 6 Heat players participating in All-Star Weekend. LeBron, Wade, and Bosh will play in the main event, Norris Cole will be in the Rising Stars Game, and James Jones and Mario Chalmers will be in the 3-point contest!
