NBA All-Star Weekend Shooting Stars Competition
The Haier Shooting Stars Competition is a basketball competition, which is held by the National Basketball Association during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The competition takes place every Saturday before the NBA All-Star Game held on Sunday. The competition consists of each time some four teams, each representing the hometown of their club. Each team consists of an active NBA player, a WNBA active player and a former NBA player. During the competition, each player of a team has to throw at the basket within a time limit of 2 minutes ( per team), six different positions. The first litter must be at a distance of 3m, thrown out of the right corner of the field. The second throw must be at a distance of 4.5 m, thrown out of the left corner of the field. The third litter is a normal three- point shot. The fourth litter must be thrown from the right and the fifth from the left baseline, at a distance of 5.5 m. The last litter is thrown from the center line. The two best teams eventually enter into a final round once more against each other.
