Jared McCain unsurprisingly won the NBA Hall of Fame 3-Point Contest
Jared McCain is making a name for himself as one of the most dangerous scorers in the league, and he certainly didn’t need an invite to the Hall of Fame to prove it.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard walked into the Intuit Dome on Friday night and completely outclassed the court to win the NBA Hall of Fame 3-point contest. Although the event featured a mix of influencers, athletes and entertainers, it was clear firsthand that McCain was operating on another level but his competition.
McCain faced a diverse lineup that included streamer PlaqueBoyMax, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and comedian Drusky. Despite the star power on the field, it felt like the outcome was decided before the clock even started.

McCain, who was recently moved to Oklahoma City from the Philadelphia 76ers, shot 38.3 percent from beyond the arc this season and brings that professional touch to the LED half court. He moved through the racks with a practiced rhythm, leaving his opponents in the dust.
The competition provided plenty of viral moments, especially when Drusky struggled with his form and Caleb Williams finished at the bottom of the leaderboard behind the comedian. However, McCain remained focused on the task at hand. Since joining the Thunder, the 21-year-old has quickly found his groove, averaging 9.3 points in his first few games with the team while shooting over 42 percent from deep in that short span.
Some fans joked that including a current pro in the celebrity shooting competition was essentially a “cheat code.” As All-Star weekend continues, McCain has set the bar high for the professional shooters who will take the field for the main event on Saturday night.
