So, my guy won the 3 pt contest. Is there any tangible benefit from that, other than him being officially awesome?

The Three-Point Competition:

You can watch this “live” from the Three Point Shooting Contest page. Six top shooters will each get 25 shots, in groups of 5. Every fifth shot (depicted by a blue ball) is worth 2 points, while the other shots (orange balls) are worth 1 point. A gray ball means that the shot was missed. The two best players advance to the final round, where another 25 shots are taken with the same rules. In the case of a tie, the winner is the player with the most three point shots made during the regular season to date.

No idea why that is the tiebreaker. No idea why they don't just have another shootout. And no idea why league stats are involved. And no idea how the players are picked for the competition. I'm sure that the skills and stats of the player come in to play, but with a heavier weighting on stats and ratings.
