Buddy Hield won the NBA 3-point contest in dramatic fashion, and his Kings teammates loved to see it. 

Hield beat out Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker on his last shot of the night, sending his squad into a social-media frenzy.

The Kings' Twitter account relished in the win, too, chirping their counterparts with the Suns and NBA 2K for jumping the gun with their predictions.

DraftKings gave Hield only the sixth-best odds to win the 3-point contest (+700), with only Zach LaVine and Devonte' Graham having worse chances in the oddsmakers' eyes.

Hield became the first King to win the competition since Peja Stojaković won back-to-back in 2002 and 2003. NBA All-Star Weekend is in Indianapolis in 2021, and Hield can join Stojaković, Craig Hodges,  Jeff Hornacek, Mark Price and Jason Kapono as the only players to win multiple 3-point contests. 

His teammates and social-media colleagues once again will have their Twitter fingers ready to go if he enters again.
