Meeks shooting for three-point contest bid

"The Sixers will be well represented during All-Star weekend on Feb. 25 and 26 in Orlando with Andre Iguodala chosen as a reserve for the Eastern Conference squad and Evan Turner slated to play in the Rookie/Sophomore game.

But could the Sixers have another representative in Orlando for All-Star weekend?

Jodie Meeks, the Sixers' starting shooting guard and leading three-point shooter, could be chosen to participate in the three-point shootout when the roster is announced next week. Headed into Friday night's game against the Clippers at the Center, Meeks is shooting 52 for 118 (44.1 percent) from beyond the three-point arc, good for eighth in the NBA in makes and 19th in percentage.

Last season Meeks led the Sixers with 138 three-pointers, shooting at a 39.7 percent clip. That total was 14th-best in the NBA and Meeks was the first Sixer to make more than 130 three-pointers since Kyle Korver made 132 in 2006-07.

So if asked, Meeks will cancel whatever plans he has and head to Orlando.

"I'd love to do it, so we'll see what happens," Meeks said."
