Stojakovic: I can't lose
Posted: 1 day ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic will try for his third
straight victory in the NBA's Long-Distance Shootout on Saturday, and
the Sacramento Kings forward might be getting a bit cocky.
"The only way I can lose is if I get in the biggest slump of my life,"
Stojakovic said with a straight face on Friday. "Really. It's over.
They should go home."
Stojakovic then broke into a laugh before praising his competition:
Detroit's Chauncey Billups, Philadelphia's Kyle Korver, Seattle's
Rashard Lewis, Denver's Voshon Lenard and Houston's Cuttino Mobley.
"This is a great field, and anybody could win it," Stojakovic said.
"I just hope it's me."
Stojakovic, who will appear in his third All-Star game on Sunday, is
hoping to become the first three-time champion since Craig Hodges in
1990-92. Larry Bird won the first three editions of the event.
