Just asked about this and yes!
Everybody who participates will receive a (one) jersey of their choice for entry into this NBA All-Star Weekend challenges competition.

Yeay thanks for asking !

Btw let me summarize few key points for everyone and let me know if I miss anything else


So we need to choose one from the list for each categories below

1. Three pointer

2. Slam dunk

3. NBA Skills Challenge

You will need to have a betslip submitted on this thread for each of the following:
-snip-
Minimum bet amount to qualify is set to: 0.33mbtc per betslip so just under 1mbtc to participant.

According to the latest post, its free and we need to write it in this thread ( confirmed )

To participate all you need to do is give your predictions on this thread in text form, no betting required as those markets aren't available as of yet.

As for the shirt prizes, everyone that posted in this thread in the past year and join the NBA All-Star Weekend challenges competition will receive it as the entry prize but freebets for the prizes will only be given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place accordingly

So this is stricly only for those that joined from the past year or anyone that join this year can still compete for the freebets? ( Yes, Freebet prizes Open for everyone )

[rdbase]

^^
To the first question - Yes!
You choose from those which have been selected and if there are more added than those will be eligible to be chosen for your selections.
Only to post on here your picks for each of those three categories to have your choice of a shirt.

To the second question - Yes!
Those who have join in the thread in the past year, last year, this year - Whenever!
Just as long as they have posted their picks to atleast one multimasters to be eligible for a shirt as their giveaway prize for just entering in.
The freebets are available for anyone who wishes to post their picks on here (just revised this requirement to be offered to all forum members).

So basically open to everyone who wants to be part of this, so to have an entry point on to the discussion offered on this thread.
Just so not lock anyone out if they just happened to stumble on to it just now.
Only the jersey offer is restricted to those who have been part of the past promotion of the multimasters.
Because steve has a limited supply of these and don't want to overstrain him on delivery charges of each shirt.

-sniped-

Everything is crystal clear now !


In case any of you guys are having trouble following everything from the start , the tldr version would be

• Pick one player for each category ( 3 players in total ) and write it down in this thread. Still over 72 hours before the match start.
  
  
• Prizes : Freebets for anyone that make it to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position. Limited shirts only for those that participated in the past

I posted the list of the players of each category here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208617.msg56489947#msg56489947 or simply visit this link https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-all-star-skills-participants-lineups-slam-dunk-contest-3-point/183cxkb7fc5a713x5ubu9czyao

3-point Contest - Stephen Curry
Slam Dunk Contest - Cassius Stanley
Skills Competition - Chris Paul

[Trofo]

Ok, let's try my luck with NBA picks, never won a single ticket that had NBA game on it so this will so nicely to get at least one jersey back. Don't watch basketball at all so here it goes...

3-point Contest - Stephen Curry (only one I heard about from that list)
Slam Dunk Contest - Anfernee Simons (asked friend to pick one for me)
Skills Competition - Luka Doncic (they write about him a lot in our local papers, hopefully he has some skills)

[jayce]

Okay for this NBA competition, here are my picks;

3-point Contest - Stephen Curry
Slam Dunk Contest - Cassius Stanley
Skills Competition - Luka Doncic


I used to watch the highlight of NBA games frequently when Nowitzki, Yao, T-Mac, Melo, O'Neal, Odom, and Gasol were still playing. But now I have no idea about the current players except LeBron lol.

[Avirunes]

Little idea about players this time but here it goes for NBA promotion

3-point Contest - Zach Lavine
Slam Dunk Contest - Obi Toppin
Skills Competition - Chris Paul

Yeah same here.. Not much idea about it. Left watching it an year ago. Did watched few matches in middle but still not enough to have all the ideas about the players.

[cryptofrka]

I already placed these in the Sportsbet main thread - sorry for the confusion. Somebody started it there so I just followed.

Here are my picks:

3pts - Steph Curry
Dunks - Obi Toppin
Skills - Chris Paul

I am a bit more familiar with this than the MMA predictor but NBA's not my strong side too. Hoping for some football instead

[Igebotz]

3pts Contest
Steph Curry

Dunks Contest

I have no idea what I selected  I eat only football

Hey hey hey. Don't want to be late in this one. Here are my picks:

3-point Contest - Donovan Mitchell
Slam Dunk Contest - Cassius Stanley
Skills Competition - Luka Doncic

[rdbase]

Seeing everybody on Luka Doncic to win the skills competition.
Yet he had missed his last game for the Mavs due to a back injury so he decided to rest and take the game off, so to get ready for the all-star weekend and play the main game.

I think there will be more slam dunk competitors added the closer we get to Sunday.

Looking good so far Sportsbet thread members.
Keep posting your picks!

[arallmuus]

3-point Contest - Stephen Curry
Slam Dunk Contest - Cassius Stanley
Skills Competition - Robert Covington


Im not sure which one would win the Slam Dunk and Skills competition but Stephen Curry would definitely nail the 3 point contest for sure. Alot of people will go for either Luka Donsic or Chris Paul but I'll go with Robert ( dont know why, just my hunch  ) Best of luck everyone.

@rdbase : how do we determine the winner in case of tie? With only 3 options for this contest , I can see some of us tied at 3 or even 2 correct picks

I would say it will be determined upon the results being finalized on Monday.
Then we'll see at that point.
If there are ties then I am sure steve would accommodate the winners accordingly.
If there is a three way tie, then even more fun for those who get the freebets.

Phoenix’s Devin Booker has been replaced by Utah’s Mike Conley Jr. in the 2021 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Conley will also participate in the 3-point contest.

In case someone decides to pick Booker winning the 3-point contest, he is out and will miss the ASG due to a knee injury.

[rdbase]

^^
Looks like @ralle14 has been the only one to pick Booker.
Just watched him play last night and I was asking myself why didn't they rest him just like all the other teams did with those who were going to be in the all-star weekend events and the main game.
The New Orelans team did for Zion(benched) so it was kind of strange the Suns didn't do this for Booker as they were playing a Stephan Curry and Draymond Green less Golden state warriors team which looked like a g-league team with the players they had left to play.

So will allow ralle14 to make the change to his pick since it is more than 48 hours away.
But having this come up reminds me to put a vital rule up on here;
Posts done after the commencement of the skills challenge will be disqualified from entering in this challenge.

[ralle14]

So will allow ralle14 to make the change to his pick since it is more than 48 hours away.

Thanks for letting me change my pick i'll switch to LaVine now that Conley is taking Booker's position.

Here's my updated picks.

1. Zach LaVine
2. Anfernee Simons
3. Domantas Sabonis

[slaman29]

Damn guys this thread looks popping! If it's not too late, and I really hope it isn't here are my picks:

1. Mike Conley Jr. (Maybe I get lucky by picking the replacement right?)
2. Cassius Stanley  (apparently he already has one before according to google so another one who knows)
3. Chris Paul

[buwaytress]

Hello everyone! Man I have no idea about basketball, I even signed up for TopShots (collectibles) but didn't participate because I had no idea if they were worth anything. Is Yao Ming really retired? I'm so old =p

Anyway. Trying to pick some peeps based on perceived name rarity. I'm going to win this, I can feel it.

1. Jayson Tatum
2. Obi Toppin
3. Nikola Vucevic

[rdbase]

While checking my bets on the MMA last night I noticed with a little bit of searching there are markets available for the NBA All-star weekend skills competition on Sportsbet.io after all!

https://sportsbet.io/sports/basketball/usa/nba-all-star-game/outrights

So those are the final line-ups to choose from.

Good luck everyone!
