[Highlight] Kon Knueppel scores 27 points in the first round of the 3-Point Contest. Kon is the 5th rookie to participate in the event.
wtf it’s on right now
That’s what I said, what the hell is this? It’s like 2:30 in LA
I was actually looking forward to it and then I randomly see this. What are the nba doing exactly
Yeah, wtf? Rising stars started at 8 last night. This shit really started at like 4?
Same thing I said smh… anyone know why its so early.. ? was planning on ordering something for the night
Winter Olympics I guess. Still stupid af
Dang smh.. then they have Vince and Tmac introducing Ludacris?? Have I time traveled back to 2004?? Lmao holy
I wish bro lol
wow I havent thought about Ludacris in a while
Bruh why this shit on at 5:30?
olympics. nbc (justifiable) reserved prime time hours for olympics every night during the games
Ahhh. Good point.
Olympics
Actually kind of the crazy the amount of events going on in the same window. Within a week of each other, we’ve had: The Olympics, the Superbowl, and the All-Star game.
Let’s be real the all-star game does NOT deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as these two, lol. At least not in it’s current state.
I agree. It’s moreso interesting from a ‘why would the NBA have it this weekend’ standpoint.
All on NBC is crazy too
and then we have world cup in the summer and world baseball classic as well. thsi year sports fans are feasting
International schedule got us waking up like it is a school day again
Devin Bricker choked like the Quad God 🥱
huh the olympics are earlier, you think they’re gonna be competing in Italy at 2 am?
They replay the big events in primetime at 8pm. They have done this every day since it started my man
They’ve done it every Olympics for at least 30 years as well. Unless it’s in a timezone that lines up with Eastern primetime
Team USA vs Denmark hockey just finished and that was the game showing before all star saturday. they do play until midnight Italy.
So annoying bro, I tuned in at the exact second this ended lmfao.
This clip is legit how I knew it was on..
Adam Silver has given up
Because no matter who is in it or how well they do, the 3 Point contest is ultimately the final evolution of an arcade game.
A lot of people might have Valentine’s reservations later too
Pretty happy here in France. 11pm local time? Won’t happen again for a long time (or ever).
I’m watching USA hockey rn tho
Bill Simmons shedding tears like a proud father
Thank gosh he gave him that ride home to keep Knueppel fresh for this
He really acts like he drafted them himself and raised them from day one
He gets emotionally invested like it is his own family storyline every time
He acts like he was some wise basketball scout that saw talent and potential in Kon even though he was drafted 4th overall and anyone that watched him at Duke knew he’d be a deadly shooter with size all over the court.
Bill Simmons lives rent free in a lotta y’all’s heads
Kon Knueppel bouta live rent free at Bill’s house the way things are going
It’s crazy. He’s an entertaining sports podcaster with weird tropes and built-in memes with shit like how much he loves Kon or how he mispronounces names. Are people expecting X’s and O’s analysis from him lol
As someone who loves ranking things, Bill Simmons content is crack to me
Absolutely top 7-ish all-time ranker
Disrespectful, he’s on my Mount Rushmore
Kid’s a shooter
Dudes casually shooting over 43% from 3 on 8 attempts a game in his rookie year
Almost 50, 40, 90.
Shhhhh we want to fly under the radar the rest of this year. Make the playoffs this year then get home court for the first round at least next year.
bro got the klay thompson form
[removed]
this is an insane comment out of context lmaooo
he knows what he did
Booo moderators for removing it (what did it say?)
he said something to the effect of this person of caucasianess is a good jump shooter and he followed it up with Scary times lmaoo
i had to add in some filler so they wouldn’t remove my comment but it was one of those trauma comedy type of comments
Larry Bird, back in the league
What a pick for the Hornets. Y’all have to be so happy to have a kid that has such poise and maturity to his game.
The kind of player everybody wants on their team. Absolute sniper from 3 and has an incredibly complete and controlled game overall
Lowkey better than coop too
I’d take him over Coop right now.
Dumbass
Don’t disagree especially in the short term. However I think, especially if Kon becomes a lockdown defender, that Kon can be the best at his job like klay while cooper can have more of a hardenesque impact. All speculation of course but you’d want both if asked to choose between the two
This is how I found out this was on right now. That’s so early.
Had no idea it was all star weekend until i opened reddit. This event so whack
I wanna see lamleo do this lol his funky shot would probably win it
Lamelo would probably fare pretty well. He shoots a set shot with so little jump that he wouldn’t tire out at all
Nah he would take too long cos he has to do that weird mini double hop backwards after every shot
And the shot reload cele on his arm between each make lmao
lmao i could actually see him doing that
fuck
ballers gonna ball. love that kid.
Killer Kon man
Why is this on at 4:30 in the afternoon?
Thank god it is, I actually get to watch it at a reasonable time in the UK
Same network has Olympics later.
how the hell does 1 network simultaneously get the super bowl, the olympics, and the nba all star weekend, that all have to be shuffled around to make room
Beautiful form. This guy is Klay with an actual dribble
He’s way better than Klay
Kon is nowhere near the defender Klay was
Kon is a good defender. I’m comparing them as rookies, and yes I still stand by what I said.
Yep agreed. Klay has a pretty clutch postseason resume but in terms of overall ceiling Kon is definitely higher. Much more versatile game
This fucking kid man, he goes fucking places bar any injury 🙏🏻
Bro seeing them shots get wetter and wetter as he’s starts to get warmer does is truly something to behold
That’s my rook 😭
That dude squares up to the basket
We got a shooter in the building
Why is this starting at 2:30 man?
i thought this was at like 8-9 pm not at 5 lol
Why is this shit on at 12:30 PM?
Textbook form. He’s going to win it
Damn. That’s hella impressive for a rook.
That form is a thing of beauty, whew
He scored 19⁄27, that’s 70%. Craig Hodges has the record with 21⁄25. Herro won last year with 14⁄27 and 16⁄27.
Glad he’s getting the reps in Intuit for the Summer Olympics in 28
He’s pretty good at shooting balls
The shot tracking bug is way too big. You can’t even see the shooter at some positions.
Do they not have any players on the sidelines? No one they’re showing on TV seems to care about this event at all.
“Why is there a 3 point shot now?”
Queen Latifa 😍
His backspin looks different
He has more brothers too. Hope they can all shoot like this.
Lmao at this starting so early. The NBA is a mess right now
Brother it’s because of the Olympics. Obviously the Olympics is bigger than nba all star weekend lmao
This is already happening !?!? Why so damn early, I’m at work 😢
This early time is throwing me off. I’m used to this being at like 9pm
Butter
I’ll be honest, with all these extra shots they’ve added, 27 points doesn’t mean what it used to
Is there an allstar weekend game thread?
Is “ from the logo” new ?
Saw this and thought it just started
Already? wtf nba?? Every year of my life 3pt contest is like 7 or 8pm est
Pretty pissed Ngl
It’s already started?
He’s like a white Larry Bird
The visuals in the background must be really distracting for a shooter
He will win this contest soon. Blue devil finest
That is a textbook jumper
The white Austin Reaves!
Is that the first air ball in the history of the contest? Wild given how he shot overall.
Kon looks like Jonah Hill’s costar in War Dogs
Why is this happening so early? Doesn’t this usually start at like 7???
Knueppsy hustling
The wrath of Kon is upon us
Still not gonna pay for peacock
It’s on NBC. You don’t even need cable for that.
