Three years ago, Kenny Atkinson told Joe Harris that he wanted the former Cavalier to be “our Kyle Korver.” Harris was shocked, Atkinson said, but on Saturday night, the 6’6” guard, now in his third year with Brooklyn, is fulfilling the Nets coach’s fantasy. Joe Harris is now the winner of the NBA’s Three-Point Contest.
Harris beat out Steph Curry and Buddy Hield in the final round, scoring one point better than Curry. Harris started out with 25 points on his first round, then followed it with a 26 in the second.
