Portland Trail Blazers defender Anfernee Simons triumphed in the new format and with a reduced number of participants in the NBA qualifying competition.
Anfernee Simons
| MIN: | 16.97 |
| PTS: | 8.16 (44.31%) |
| REB: | 2.44 |
| WHAT: | 1.28 |

The final was started by Obi Toppin. The Knicks rookie made the second attempt almost from the penalty line, passing the ball through his legs.
For his part, Simons threw the ball into the air from the ground, caught it at the highest point of the climb and, mimicking a kiss on goal, pushed the ball into the basket.
The commission expressed its condolences to a representative from the Blazers, whose votes were cast by Dominique Wilkins, Dee Brown and Jason Richardson. Spud Webb and Josh Smith voted for Toppin.
We remind you that in the first stage of this year’s qualifying competition, everything was as usual: all participants made two places, and the judges gave a rating of 6 to 10 points for each place achieved.
Still, there was innovation in the final. The players made a single bet and the referees no longer shared the points. The commission simply held up the card in the name of the basketball player they thought made a better bet.
Cassius Stanley, a newcomer to the Indiana Pacers, was the first to put, charging the ball from above. The Commission rated this ranking at 44 points.
This was immediately followed by Toppino’s escape, when he pushed the ball to the ground and the referees scored the episode with 48 points.
Simons, a spokesman for the Portland Trail Blazers, was impressed with his wit. The ball was mounted high on the backboard for the 191cm tall defender and Simons, showing an impressive leap, made the set for the first time. The judges awarded 46 points for such an attempt.
Stanley’s second bet failed. Initially two attempts by the basketball player were unsuccessful, then a representative of the Pacers tried to make a different bet, but it was not possible to do so from the first attempt. In the end, the basketball player made his second bet from the fourth attempt and scored 37 points for it.
Simons wore a McGrady jersey for the second time and it did not disappoint: the Blazers, who threw the ball into the air, spun 360 degrees, charged from the first attempt from above and scored 49 points.
Toppin was assisted in second place by Julius Randle, the father of the basketball player and leader of the Knicks who played in the All-Star Game.
The hasty New York club rookie from the second try charged two of these powerful guys from the station, scoring 46 points and that was enough to make it to the final.
Results of the first stage:
- Cassiusas Stanley – 81 bullets;
- Anfernee Simonsas – 95 balai;
- Obi Toppinas – 94 balai;
All bets of all basketball players:
