NBA All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest History

By Dennis Velasco, About.com

The NBA All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest may not have the glamor of the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest during NBA All-Star Weekend, but it's more skillful to shoot and hit a three-pointer opposed to dunking the ball up close. Check out the past winners of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest to claim the title of best long-range bomber for that respective year by checking the table below.

NOTE: The NBA Lockout in 1999 prevented an NBA All-Star Game and NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest from happening.
