Three Point Contest
Mitch Richmond (1992, 1994)
Jim Les (1992)
Peja Stojakovic (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004)
Buddy Hield (2019)
Three Kings have played in the Three-Point contest, although it’s pretty clear Peja is the king of Sacramento Kings. Jim Les and Mitch Richmond both participated in the 1992 contest. Les actually did pretty well, nearly stealing it from eventual champion Craig Hodges before an unlucky bounce from a money ball. Richmond popped up one more time in 1994, but he just didn’t have it that year, scoring only 12 and bouncing out in the first round.
That really just leaves Peja. He won twice, although he came very close to winning it four times a row. 2001 featured him dueling with Ray Allen, who ended up beating him for first by only 2 points (17 to 15). In 2002, Peja bested such sharpshooters as Steve Nash, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce before winning in overtime 9-5 against Wesley Person (who knew the three-point contest had overtime?). Peja beat Wesley once more in 2003. Finally, his bid for a three-peat was thwarted by none other than…Voshon Lenard? Thus ended a four-year run in the Three-Point Contest for the Sacramento Kings that will likely never be bested.
Until Buddy Hield does it by 2023, of course.
