The Basketball Movement Invitational Three Point Contest
Friday night of The Basketball Movement Invitational 2020 will see the camp’s first three-point contest.
As if an official dunk contest was not enough, The Basketball Movement Invitational will start the upcoming weekend with a bang, having its first Three-Point Contest Friday night. Slated for approximately 7:30 on the first night of action, a three-point competition will be a fun way to ease into the competitive atmosphere the camp is famous for.
The contest will mirror a typical NBA three-point contest (hold some of the gimmicks from the most recent All-Star event). There will be five racks of five balls and only 60 seconds for competitors to make their way around the arc. Players must exhaust the ball racks in order before moving on to the next shooting location.
Each made basket will be worth one point, save for the final ball of each rack - those will be “money balls,” worth two points. This means there will be 25 balls and a maximum of 34 points will be possible. In the event of a tie, 30-second rounds will be played as tiebreakers.
The top three performers will compete once more in a championship round. The winner earns respect, a champion title, and the right to talk smack for the rest of the weekend. Trust us, smack talk ammo will come in handy as the weekend heats up.
Below are the players set to compete in the three-point contest on Friday:
Zach Howell
Isaac Haney
Danilo Jovanovich
David Hill
Keshon Gilbert
Anton Brookshire
Jackson Paveletzke
Drew McMillin
Damien Mayo Jr.
Cam Liggins
Jordan Nesbitt
Andrew Robinson
This year’s Invitational is absolutely loaded with shooters. We could not squeeze everyone into one contest. For those players that are confident that they were snubbed - we are excited to give you an opportunity to prove it on the court all weekend long. The real action comes in the games, so everyone gets their chance. Let’s light it up this weekend.
