The NBA three point contest was last night. Paul Pierce was able to top off Stephen Curry and Chauncey Billups. In the final round Paul Pierce scored 20 points. In route to these 20 points he got al 5 money balls. This is huge because the money ball is worth two points while the rest of the balls are only worth one. Paul Pierce also participated in the three point contest back in 2002 but he did not do very good. In 2002 he lost in the first round and he was embarrassed by his performance. This time around Paul Pierce took it much more serious and practiced much harder in preparation of the event. That is why this time around he was able to win the event rather then lose in the first round. The second place man rookie Stephen Curry came out and scored 17 points. 17 points was a very good effort for a rookie in his first three point contest. Chauncey Billups was able to score 14 points in his effort to win the three point contest. Paul Pierce was much deserving of the reward but did not have much competition in this years event. When it was all said and done thought Paul Pierce was the 2010 NBA three point contest winner.
