There will be five Raptors on the NBA all-star ballot for the first time in time history this year.

On two previous occasions, four Raptors appeared on the ballot, both 2002 and 2005.

This year the five are lead by Chris Bosh, on for his second time after starting last year. T.J. Ford will be making his third appearance on the ballot but still looking for that first all-star appearance. Andrea Bargnani experienced all-star week last year as a participant in the rookie/sophomore challenge along with Jorge Garbajosa is on for the first time as is Anthony Parker.

Jason Kapono is on the ballot for the second time in his five-year career and is the reigning three-point shootout champion.
