NBA Three Point Contest: The contestants and probable winner

#2 The \"Old\" Guys

JJ Redick and Chris Bosh are the oldest contestants

Chris Bosh (81 threes): Probably the most interesting entrant in the group, the classic big guy who seems a little out of place among all the guards in this competition. Bosh has recreated himself into a more than viable three point threat during his Miami Heat career.

In the last month, coinciding with the Heat’s downturn in play, Bosh has been slumping from three shooting 31%, something that is a little disappointing. But Bosh is a perennial All-Star who doesn’t project to have the slump carry over into a glorified shooting drill. Plus, he’s a lefty and those guys can always shoot when it matters.

J.J. Redick (130 threes, 7th): The other “oldie” (both players are over 31) is having a career year in what is his 10th year in the league. With Blake Griffin out, he has, combined with his teammates, upper his play to make up for the loss of the perennial All-Star.

For awhile in mid-January, he was shooting a blistering 50%, though he has cooled off some and is now at 47%, good for second in the league. J.J. stands a good chance to take this competition, and it would go hand in hand with his play this season.
