The Toronto Raptors forward will be looking to become the third player to win three 3-point shootouts when he takes on five challengers in the event during the NBA's All-Star weekend. Kapono will match 3-pointers against Eastern Conference All-Star reserves Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers and Rashard Lewis of the Orlando Magic, as well as Mike Bibby of the Atlanta Hawks, Roger Mason of the San Antonio Spurs and Daequan Cook of the Miami Heat. The shootout is Saturday, Feb. 13, the night before the All-Star Game in Phoenix. The three-time, 3-point shooting winners are Larry Bird (1986-88) and Craig Hodges (1990-92). The players will compete in a two-round competition, with the top three finishers from the first round advancing to the finals. Five shooting stations will be set up around the 3-point line, and each player has one minute of shooting time. Lewis leads the group with 137 3-pointers this season, followed by Granger with 120, Bibby with 114, Cook with 105, Mason with 103 and Kapono with 52. ********************************************************************* -- Only the strong survive- Iverson ⊕ ═█┘ ⊕ ●╱ 　　　 Ｗ ● ●︵ ● ●)) ３╯ <３\ /３⊕ ／３﹚ ３ \\ />⊕ >/ ⊕ ╲> >> ========= http://www.wretch.cc/blog/AWEI3 ========= --
