Among the new records of victory and defeat in this NBA season, Miami’s Daequan Cook’s win in the three-point shooting contest would be remembered as a breathtaking tale of success. Daequan Cook fought a tough battle to make it to the victory list of three-pointers and the three point shootout had to be backed up with overtime to reach a conclusive end of the contest. Daequan Cook won the three point shootout during overtime.
Miami’s heat guard, Daequan Cook, played the best shots of the game and scored 19 points in the extra round of the neck-to-neck competition. The swift swirl past Orlando’s Rashard Lewis in the final round got Daequan Cook the prestigious title. With this, Jason Kapono’s two-year hold over All-Star Saturday’s events at NBA came to an end.
Daequan Cook’s close-contender, Rashard Lewis, failed to deliver the best shots in the third session and missed his first 11 shots to end with seven points. Meanwhile, Daequan Cook’s splendid moves made him indomitable even among the season’s favorites. This necessitated the overtime when Daequan Cook hit his final four shots in the second round. He said, “I felt this was my opportunity to show people that I should be considered as one of the elite 3-point shooters in the game.”
