SHOOTING STARS CONTEST
 

In 2004 this contest replaced the Hoop-it-up Tournament. It's a time based shooting competition involving a NBA player, a WNBA player and a retired NBA player who represent their teams' city. 4 teams compete shooting in sequential order to make six shots from different spots as quick as possible.
These are the 6 shots:

Each shot must be made before the next player begins shooting (players have unlimited attempts for each shot).
There is a two minute time limit to make the 6 shots for each team.
Since 2007, the contest has 2 round, with the two fastest first round times advancing to the final.
