Jason Kapono has been working hard to defend his All Star Game Three Point Shootout title. The Raptors training staff designed a set of ball trays that are similar to those used in the All Star competition, so Jason can practice effectively for the event.

Kapono is a lights out shooter. This video shows him hitting virtually every three pointer. When he finally misses, he's met with a good natured, yet noisy response from his team mates and other onlookers.

Here is how each three point shooter is doing so far this season from beyond the arc:

                          Kapono: .510 (leads NBA)
                          Nash: .470
                          Hamilton: .468
                          Gibson: .467
                          Peja: .466
                          Kobe: .347

                        

The players will participate in a two-round competition, featuring five shooting stations set up around the three-point line with four balls worth one point each and one coloured "money ball" worth two points at each location. Each player will have one minute to make as many shots as he can. The top finishers from the first round advance to the finals.
