MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Suddenly it appears that the NBA’s All-Star weekend is being invaded by the Miami Heat.
Wayne Ellington’s primary role with Miami is clear: He’s supposed to attempt a 3-pointer whenever possible.
That’s a winning formula for the Heat.
And it got Ellington to All-Star weekend.
Ellington is one of the eight players picked to compete in the 3-point contest on All-Star Saturday Night, set for Feb. 18 in Los Angeles. Ellington has already set a career-high with 153 3-pointers this season, with nearly half the season still to play.
“I wouldn’t have been mad or upset if I didn’t get the call,” Ellington said.
