They should change the 3 point contest so the shooters receive a pass from a teammate.

Shooting in rhythm would make it better imo.

I bet the players would be all in on that idea.

No one on the Rockets would be in the contest, because Harden and Russ don't pass

It would add another variable..they could easily fuck up the pass..the teammate still needs to get balls from a rack

This one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

How would an NBA caliber player fuck up a pass in this situation? Are you fucking kidding me?

I think that tactic might give an edge to those who are better with the catch & shoot, rather than those who excel at dribbling to their spot. But it would definitely give them a more in-game feel and better confidence.

So now it's a passing competition as much as a shooting competition. No bueno. Throwing 50 perfect passes in a row is not easy and only someone who has never played basketball would think otherwise.

This isn't practice where an assistant gathers a rebound and flings it off to a player during shoot around. You're being timed and judged for accuracy... One bad pass could throw off that attempt... And so forth
