Celtics snubbed again 02.04.09 at 4:08 pm ET

Less than 24 hours after Ray Allen drained a game-winning three over the Philadelphia 76ers, he was not named to the 2009 Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout. It is the second time in a week that Allen has been snubbed. Last Thursday he was overlooked as a reserve on the Eastern Conference All-Star team.

Sharpshooter Eddie House was also left out of the shootout, despite his recent hot streak in which he shot 22-for-32 over a four-game stretch. He has also made more three-point attempts this season than any of the contestants.

Here is a look at who did make the team, compared to Allen and House: (As of February 4)

Eddie House, Boston: 144 – 339 (42.5%)
Rashard Lewis, Orlando: 137 – 327 (41.9%)
Danny Granger, Indiana: 120 – 299 (40.1%)
Ray Allen, Boston: 120 – 293 (39.8%)
Mike Bibby, Atlanta: 114 – 279  (40.9%)
Daequan Cook, Miami: 105 – 256 (41.0%)
Roger Mason, San Antonio: 103 – 229  (45.0%)
Jason Kapono*, Toronto: 52 – 124 (41.9%)

* Defending champion

    Not for nothing, but who on the list of contestants is unworthy to be there? Ray is by far the lowest percentage three shooter on the list. Looking at it, if you want House to make it you look to knocking off Granger based on percentage and Kapono based on attempts and well you don’t just ignore the defending champion.

    The percentages next to the two Celtics are incorrect. Allen should be at 41.0% and House is shooting 42.5% from three. House should certainly be in the contest, probably ahead of Cook.

    the real crime is Ray not making the allstar team. If my memory is correct he lite the place up last year and despite the Kings performace, Ray was the reason the East won it down the stretch.
