MIAMI, February 5 – The NBA announced tonight that HEAT All-Star Chris Bosh will participate in the 2015 Degree Shooting Stars competition as part of State Farm All-Star Saturday Night on February 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The all-inclusive skills showcase will be televised live on TNT, reaching fans in 215 countries and territories in more than 47 languages.

Bosh will once again be paired with NBA Legend Dominique Wilkins and WNBA player Swin Cash as they look to become the first three-peat Shooting Stars champions after winning the event the previous two years, once during the 2012 competition in Houston and then again during the 2013 event in New Orleans. Bosh, a 10-time NBA All-Star, has appeared in 41 games (all starts) with the HEAT this season averaging 21.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 35.3 minutes. He leads the team in points (867) and rebounds (299) this season and scored the 16,000th point of his career on January 25 at Chicago and grabbed his 7,000th career rebound on November 22 at Orlando. He connected on at least one three-point field goal in a career-high 10 consecutive games from November 16 through December 5 and has already totaled six 30-point games this season after doing so two times all of last year.

The Degree Shooting Stars contest features one current NBA player, an NBA legend and one current WNBA player on each team. There are four numbered shooting locations of increasing difficulty, with each team attempting to make all shots in numeric order in the fastest time. All four teams will compete in the first round, and the two teams with the fastest times advance to the championship round. The team that finishes all four shots in the least amount of time in the championship round will be declared the winner.

Team Bosh will compete against Team Curry featuring NBA player Stephen Curry, NBA Legend Dell Curry and WNBA player Sue Bird, Team Davis consisting of NBA player Anthony Davis, NBA Legend Scottie Pippen and WNBA player Elena Delle Donne and Team Westbrook involving NBA player Russell Westbrook, NBA Legend Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway and WNBA player Tamika Catchings.
