What Is The 2025 NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest Format?
Each player has 60 seconds to take 25 three-point shots, with five racks of five balls placed around the three-point line.
Each shot made is worth one point, except for the rack containing the ‘money balls’. For each ‘money ball’ shot made, the player gets two points.
At the end of the first round the three players with the highest score will advance to the championship round.
The championship round will then follow the same format as round one, with the player scoring the most points crowned the NBA All-Star 3-Point Contest champion.
