Jaylen Brown is not in the dunk contest and Tatum is not in the 3 point contest.

They are empty rewards that do not mean as much because at least in the dunk contest stars do not enter it regularly or defend their titles.

Tatum could use the rest, I think.   Some games if seems as if the rookie wall is hitting him hard.

It 's not that big of a deal to me that J&J won't participate.

It is a shame that Fultz won't be participating in the skills challenge.
That would be prime time material.

That is cold, bro

Yeah, that’s nonsense about Tatum. From a quick look I believe he is shooting a better percentage from beyond the arc than everyone in the contest outside of Klay, good enough for 7th in the league. And you can’t say it’s a “rookie thing” either, because I’m fairly certain that Booker competed his rookie year, too.

EDIT: Hell, the same can be said about Horford, too! Crazy.

Yes, your edit is who I think should be in it.  It’s always fun when they have a big in the contest.  Maybe he’ll get to be one of the bigs in the skill challenge race thing.

He is in the skills.  It'd be neat to see him in the 3 pter contest but I think his release is too slow to do well.

Agree. He seems more like a catch and shoot guy than one who would thrive in that type of contest.

But it still makes no sense to me that Tatum, the 7th best percentage in the league on the best team in the East, isn’t in it.

Give the people what they want!
Yea I came strong, but it was for the fun purposes.
I actually sympathize with him.
Still, it would be fascinating to see the hitch in front of the audience.
