Steve Kerr - 1997 NBA 3-Point Shootout (Full Performance, Champion)

here's a man who knows about it our next competitors will be Steve Kerr and John Stockton Steve Kerr I came into this season and 14% on career in three-point shooting of course he's the three-point specialist with Chicago Bulls and here's all-star starter tomorrow sure to be Hall of Famer John Stockton of the Utah Jazz right now seventh in the league in three-point shooting at point 438 neither one of these competitors has won before and John Stockton as one of the great clutch shooters in the game so rich if we come down to one side my buddy John the contest he's about do guys I think he knows what he had to the last five or six days every day just want to come out beaten loose but one of the things I asked her is why is his percentage so high he said because everybody's guard Michael Jordan of war I'd open well the one thing yeah I talked to him and he's talking confident about having fun did have a good type of look at what he's doing to be cursed the ball night well right now it's gonna come down to the end but then that you may give each other and John Sadaqat is struggling right now morning got 14 he can really get a nice score this last balls of big for him Moneyball he got it up and count it missed it anyway so 15 for kur and 13 for Stockton and so as of right now Mills and with 11 points and 13 for Stockton we'll be at the bottom to an 18 and 15 are the two highest scores and remember for advance here's a look at her again was interesting about these two guys Steve Kerr took his time yeah he barely I don't know if he got that last shot off and John Stockton was finished with about five seconds left difference in Stockton was rushing but Doc last year Steve Kerr told me that he sometimes he didn't even finish his rack because he's more concerned with the amount of balls that he makes and he really took his time this time everybody always talks about it's really important to get out of the first round with a bang and from left to right that's the order that they will compete here in descending order remember throw out the first yours they just got them advanced into the semi finals that the top two from here will at you see how many points came from each rack so Steve Kerr will go first he is the all-time field goal percentage leader in three-point shooting of the history of the NBA 31 years old nine here from Chicago brother he's been here before this is his first four time three-point contest [Music] he said early today little dis is a way to be comfortable without much time he takes out a shot looking squares up it gets his feet together look with the rack everything is real concentrated and that's his favorite spot right there the top of the key [Music] you know what his fourth appearance here all-time leader in percentage and he's never won this event and he the jumpshot shooters up time that plays against you we got to get to the lift I think the later rounds [Music] anything better than 20 is very big runner-up last year Dennis Scottie Tiffany knocks down some fries hits 17 Steve Steve Perth on fire from the corner look at the rhythm he's got very nice and Cheryl Miller is with Steve Kerr Cheryl Steve obviously were feeling it really seemed like they were taking their time being very patient got you something to a really nice rhythm well I've been in this contest so many times I feel like I've learned some things and one is you have to relax and I got off to a slow start but settled down and started getting into a rhythm I've got the other guys on the bench a little worried about that rhythm let's go back to the table all right thanks Cheryl 21 points that's gonna be tough to beat he ran racks three and five to get those 21 point our next back to the final Steve Kerr we're going to look at a reenactment here of the coin toss for the final round the winner of the coin toss has the option to shoot first or second the loser will have his choice of baskets gentlemen okay Steve Kerr won the toss and here's Craig Sager with another excellent three-point shooter Scottie Pippen well you know Bob nobody wins more than the Chicago Bulls wonder Steve first chances what do you think you well great you know I think these guys leave island all DeJohn attractive but you know he gonna do fine you know I felt like coming in to this be off game tonight he was gonna do well so uh hopefully he can take it he's got in this ball slot thank you Bob this is the first time Steve Kerr's been in the finals his highest he's finished in four four three appearances prior to this has been third so he won he's elected to shoot groups Bob I'm telling you he's loose he wants this bad he knows he is doomed wanted to go first and I agree with that I don't want to change someone else's score I want to leave [Music] that light happen to go to go after Tim Vietnam Nora right that's alright but he's gonna have to beat this store Steve skirt it on fire check him out he may not this dog years we bought this we forget even champion also right that's right it has eight in a row until that miss all he can think about it wide open baby giving to me this is a big three shot here this is the biggest money ball we shoot in here yesterday [Music] the two-point Moneyball that's right he's healthy when he took when he takes a little extra time with it because he knows that is a key ball dock he didn't work out at all on this this year before he had worked five and six days constantly because he took it so serious this time he said I want to come in and just feed moose just let it happen for me and that's what's going on with him well look at it happen he's letting it happen he's filling it you can see it and he's looking right at the rim this ties for the second best score and a final round let's go to Cheryl Miller the first thing out of your mouth they're glad you went first deprecate yeah absolutely I wanted to win the toss because Jim's liable to put up a 23 or 24 and I knew I had to put some pressure on him so glad I won the toss let's see what happens here Bob [Music] the curve will carry on the trip even though Jim Legler hit the Moneyball Steve finally a champion here in Cleveland the all-time three-point field goal percentage leader in the history of thee be told it was his turn and the players are all upset maybe the title Chicago the side of Chicago win and everything they want to do that's exactly what Scottie Pippen assent where the guy deserved it he never made it to the finals before and he got his shot this time Magic Johnson having a good time he turned out to be a pretty good three-point shooter in the latter part of his career to Steve Kerr played for Phoenix Cleveland in Orlando when he was selected fiftieth over all in the draft back in 1988 now with a world champion pull and he is the 1997 80 indeed shootout winner here Cleveland recorded there in the 50s and 60s and there's the presentation of the trophy and $20,000 Earl Quinzel the vice president marketing programs consumer long distance for AT&T with a presentation for Steve Kerr and yes ho-hum another win for the 42 and six Bulls just what they needed to build a little more confidence joins Craig say Craig Hodges who also won this previously and speaking of craig craig sager with steve kerr well they're mentioning about the Bulls winning everything it's nice to have the ring that you have but an individual I know like this has to mean a lot to you it is pretty nice I mean I'm kind of known for my three-point shooting and yet I haven't been able to win this this competition before so it's fun to win what was the difference this year why did you win it this year why he's a couple it's much more relaxed the first three years I've prepared pretty hard and and was really very intense and this year I just tried to relax and I didn't prepare at all and I felt much better our pure shooters born are developed how did you get this knack of little Veatch I mean I could shoot pretty well when I was young but but I've had to work at it too but I don't know this is great it's a lot of fun you're on a team with Superman Batman and Rodman with Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman you built with four different teams when you walk into the locker room come Tuesday with this trophy you gotta strut your stuff I'm gonna I'm gonna show Michael this trophy and kiss it kind of like he did when they want to and what he want his first title you know this is this is my first title I guess I don't Nick Lachey unwanted to grab it so thanks for wearing all right thanks great all right now let's go back to Bob all right he needs a nickname how about kerplunk speaker wins over Tim lek ler the defending champion rice was third followed by Walt Williams John Stockton Dale Ellis Terry Mills and Sam Perkins finished eighth and finds the last of the final four there get a thousand bucks but Steve Kerr will take home 24 winning the AT&T shootout
