Jared McCain established himself as a premier shooter on Friday night by winning the NBA Celebrity 3-Point Contest held at the Intuit Dome. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard, known for his sharp shooting during the season, outperformed a field of influencers, athletes, and entertainers with ease, showcasing why he is considered one of the league’s most dangerous marksmen.
Competition Included Diverse Celebrity Participants
The contest featured various personalities such as streamer PlaqueBoyMax, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, and comedian Druski. Despite the star-studded lineup, McCain’s professional-level skills quickly set him apart, making the result seem inevitable from the start of the event.

McCain’s Performance Reflects His Season’s Shooting Form
This season, McCain has been shooting 38.3 percent from beyond the arc before the contest and raised his accuracy to over 42 percent since joining the Thunder. His smooth rhythm and confident form at the LED half-court during the contest demonstrated the same precision he brings to NBA games, leaving his opponents far behind.
Mixed Results for Other Contestants
While McCain excelled, other participants struggled to keep pace. Comedian Druski notably had difficulty finding his shooting form, and Caleb Williams finished near the bottom. These moments added entertainment value, but McCain remained focused throughout, emphasizing his professionalism despite the casual setting.
Implications for All-Star Weekend and Beyond
Some spectators remarked that including a current NBA player like McCain in a celebrity contest was a clear advantage, likening it to a “cheat code.” As All-Star weekend continues, McCain’s dominant display raises expectations for the professional shooters competing in the main three-point event on Saturday night, highlighting his potential impact for the Thunder moving forward.
