If you are going to finish third in a 3-Point Contest, being 19 years old and getting beat only by the Splash Brothers is the way to go.

Booker, the contest's youngest competitor ever, made it out of the eight-player field by winning a first-round tiebreaker but wound up in third place as Golden State’s Klay Thompson dethroned runner-up, defending champ and teammate Stephen Curry.

Booker was the fourth rookie to participate in the contest and the first since Curry did it.
