How many NBA 3 Point Contests will Nik Stauskas win?
I think he wins about 5.
Really they should put Nik in the contest this year and let him win his first.
Larry Bird and Craig Hodges lead the list with 3 wins each; Nik gonna beat that with ease.
Put Nik on his home court in Missassauga and he's unbeatable

It would be a vulgar display of his power.
December 31st, 2012 at 4:58 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 5:36 PM ^
Does there really need to be a contest?
December 31st, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
Nothing but net.
December 31st, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
ALL OF THE 3 POINT CONTESTS!!!!11!!!!
December 31st, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
you have to be in the NBA first, and he is at least 2 years away from that, so this question is kinda stupid.
December 31st, 2012 at 3:09 PM ^
They should let a couple amateurs compete every year like they do in golf; it would be a nice addition to the 3 point contest

That right, we're talking a minimum eight-peat
December 31st, 2012 at 3:43 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 4:30 PM ^
I agree. In fact none of them will be in a row.
December 31st, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
Casey Jacobsen win?
December 31st, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
Cart before the horse, much?
December 31st, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
Same number as Jon Diebler.
December 31st, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
Will he put them on the same mantle next to Ron Powlus' Heismans? Come on now. The kid is a freshman.

Has there ever been a perfect score in the three point competition? Stauskas could do that.
December 31st, 2012 at 3:44 PM ^
The hurricane is also named Stauskas.

Good thing we have a football game tomorrow..
December 31st, 2012 at 3:50 PM ^
Fuck the NBA. Keep away from my team. The NBA is like a gang of termites to college basketball. We can revisit this in 4 years when he is drafted after graduating from Michigan.
There are bigger things to worry about than what guys on this team are going to do in their post-Michigan careers. B1G plays is in 3 days.
December 31st, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
This guy gets it. We all have to stay focused on the game this Thursday. Speaking of, I want everyone in bed by 9pm and no drinking tonight, we've got a big game to sit and watch tomorrow, its going to take everyone's best effort.

Limited time + multiple shot locations + having to grab the ball off a rack + longer shot + facing guys who get paid millions to be better at shooting 3s than anyone else = ...
I think it's far fetched to say he's that good just yet and there's something about the 3 pt contest that makes even the best shooters in the world stumble. For now, I'm just happy we have a 3pt shooter like him on our team and that he's got a few years before this is even a relevant topic.
December 31st, 2012 at 4:06 PM ^
The real question is how many gold medals will he win? In hockey. Probably a ton, since (a) he's Canadian, and (b) hockey is a low scoring sport where a 3-pointer would be super valuable.
December 31st, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
This will someday be replaced by a replica of a Nik Stauskas jumper as the NBA Logo. Sorry Jerry West
December 31st, 2012 at 4:11 PM ^
You've now placed a huge fucking jinx on Stauskas. He'll probably sprain his testicles or get arrested for running guns and women to Turkmenistan.
December 31st, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
Turkey is not the same as Turkmenistan. Turkmenistani prisons are quite lovely, actually.
December 31st, 2012 at 5:05 PM ^
Trust you? Do you have some first hand experience in a Turkish prison? Turkmeni prison?

after I was wondering how many Heismans Shane Morris will win. I say both win at least 5
December 31st, 2012 at 4:23 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 4:34 PM ^
One. Then they will ban him from the contest to make it fair to the other players.
December 31st, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
45 of 50
December 31st, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
Who wins?
And by the way, the name of the hurricane is Hurrican Ditka
December 31st, 2012 at 5:02 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 4:53 PM ^
I thought he was in college? And has only played 13 games?
Sheesh..where have I been?
December 31st, 2012 at 4:59 PM ^
December 31st, 2012 at 5:03 PM ^
NO. He needs to win it this year or he's a bust.
December 31st, 2012 at 6:34 PM ^
Slow down a little there pal, let him finish his freshman year. I personally want him balling here for 4 years.
