Sharpshooter Cohey Aoki, a long-distance and free-throw shooting maestro, thrilled the masses during Sunday's bj-league All-Star Game 3-Point Shooting Contest.
Aoki, the longtime Tokyo Apache star who joined the Osaka Evessa after the two-time championship runnerup team folded, delivered a crowd-pleasing effort by dethroning two-time contest champion Yu Okada at Saitama Super Arena.
Aoki scored 18 points in the final round, edging Sendai 89ers forward Dan Fitzgerald by one point.
