The Knicks never have had one of their players win the NBA’s 3-Point Contest, and Julius Randle didn’t come close to becoming the first.
The three-man Team Jazz, with Utah players Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton and Walker Kessler, won the Skills Competition over Team Rookies and Team Antetokounmpo .
Kevin Durant played his rookie season in the NBA with the Seattle Supersonics in 2007-08 before that franchise relocated to Oklahoma City as the Thunder. Asked what city needs an NBA team that doesn’t have one, Durant replied flatly, “Seattle.”DeMar DeRozan of the Bulls chose Las Vegas and said he’d name the team the Strips.Friday night, including going 6-for-10 from long distance, Knicks second-year guard Quentin Grimes said he hopes to be asked to compete one day in the 3-Point Contest.
“I think it is [a goal]. I mean, it’s something that I pride myself on, shooting the ball really at a high level,” said Grimes, a career 36.2 percent shooter from beyond the arc. “So I feel like the 3-point competition would be down the road for me moving forward.” In one of the odder questions presented to various players, Randle was among those asked which teammate he would want by his side in a zombie apocalypse: “Not Jalen Brunson, not Jalen Brunson, we’ll start off with that. I might go [with] Quick,” Randle replied, referring to Immanuel Quickley.
