Joe Harris had the chance to be the back-to-back 3-Point Contest champion. Spencer Dinwiddie was given the opportunity to take back his title as the NBA Skills Challenge champion. Neither Nets player was able to bring any NBA All-Star Weekend hardware back to Brooklyn this year.
Dinwiddie was matched up against Miami Heat forward and 2020 NBA All-Star Bam Adebayo in the first round of the Skills Challenge. Not only did Adebayo beat the Nets point guard, but he also went on to win the whole thing, knocking off Indiana Pacers forward and fellow 2020 NBA All-Star Domantas Sabonis in the final round.

Just like his Nets teammate in the Skills Challange, Harris was unable to make it out of the first round of the 3-Point Contest. But he still finished with a solid score of 22.
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield walked away as the winner of the 2020 3-Point Contest.
