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:
- Shot #1 – 10 foot bank shot from right side angle
- Shot #2 – 15 foot shot from left side angle
- Shot #3 – NBA 3 point shot from top of the arc
- Shot #4 – 18-Foot shot from right side baseline
- Shot #5 – NBA 3 point shot from left side angle
- Shot #6 – Shot from just inside half-court
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 rounds, with the two fastest first round
times advancing to the final.

(Lakers)
One of the hometown teams won the contest after Derek Fisher banked
the halfcourt shot.
The "star" of the contest was John Salley, who had a lot of trouble on the
left-side three-pointer, missing about a dozen shots, throwing the ball at
the rim and even attempting a layup before finally banking one in. He
redeemed by making the halfcourt shot in his next attempt.
