My Take
Jason Kapono is a specialist's specialist, and I have endless affection for that. A Long Beach kid out of UCLA, he turned the three-pointer into something close to a guarantee, becoming the first NBA player to lead the league in three-point percentage in consecutive seasons and winning the Three-Point Contest twice. Add a 2006 title with the Heat, and you have a career built not on flash but on ruthless efficiency. I love watching a player who knows exactly what he does best and does it without hesitation. In a sport that worships highlight reels, the quiet sniper who simply makes the shot deserves more love.
