The Toronto Raptors' Jason Kapono will seek to become the third player to capture three consecutive titles in this year’s Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout, which will be held on Saturday, Feb. 14, at US Airways Center, as part of NBA All-Star Saturday Night.

Kapono will be joined by Eastern Conference All-Star reserves Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers and Rashard Lewis of the Orlando Magic, Mike Bibby of the Atlanta Hawks, Roger Mason of the San Antonio Spurs and Daequan Cook of the Miami Heat.

Daequan cook? are you kidding me. Eddie has hit the second most 3's all year!

This is worse than Ray being left off the All Star team for Jameer (which ironically he is set to replace)

And.....no big deal.

Let the C's players rest up for the final 28 games or so. Who cares about all that All Star crap. Just the the Home run Hitting contest it baseball, it's just a giant waste of time.

What absolute crap.  Kapono, yes.  Lewis, Mason, Bibby, Granger OK.  Cook?!?!?  That is outrageous.  Eddie absolutely should be in it especially after his performances last week.

Bibby doesn't deserve it but I guess they have to let him go because he's never going to play in the ASG.

The All-Star weekend is becoming increasingly ridiculous.

They invite Ricky when he's a mediocre dunker, but no Eddie when he's lights out. That makes great sense...

Well you can't blame the NBA for wanting to push it's rising stars and there's no doubt that Daequan Cook is the future of this league.

I'm not sure why Bibby and Cook making the competition so outrageous. Bibby and Cook both have at least 19 more three pointers made and their percentages are nearly identical.

Bibby - 40.9%, 114 3PM
Cook - 41.0%, 105 3PM
House - 41.0%, 86 3PM
