The truth is out, people. Of course Utah Jazz fans all suspected foul play when we learned that Joe Ingles – a 43.9 percent three-point sharpshooter, the third best in the league – wasn’t announced among the finalists for the NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest. In fact I, myself, was quick to report on his absence from the list, openly referring to it as a snub.
However, there were also earlier reports that Ingles wasn’t all that interested in participating and was more looking forward to the All-Star break so that he could spend time with his family.
