All-Star Saturday is one of the most exciting events in the NBA calendar. The league’s top players compete in a variety of entertaining competitions. This year’s event promises to be no different, with a talented roster of players set to participate. Whether you’re a die-hard NBA fan or just looking for some fun and excitement, it’s not to be missed!
While we’re already aware of this year’s dunkers – Blazers rookie Shaedon Sharpe, Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III, Kenyon Martin Jr. and Mac McClung of the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats – the participants of the other events remain somewhat of a mystery.
Buddy Hield however now has reportedly committed to compete in the 3-point contest at NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City.

Hield is one of the league’s best three point shooters. The Pacer is shooting above 40% from deep for his career, while even exceeding this mark in the current season with a very respectable 42.5% on 8.9 attempts per game.
