Who would you like to go against CP3 and name your winner! I'd go with John Wall,Derrick Rose and Tony Parker but i'd guess CP3 would win.

Oh....okay. My mistake. I assumed because of last year they had 4 participants it would be followed this year but I stand corrected. Thanks.

*Derrick Rose - Yes
*Russel Westbrook - No , I don't think he is a top 5 ballhander
*John Wall - yes
*Stephen Curry - same as Westbrook
*Tyreke Evans - same as Westbrook
*Derek Fisher - WTF ?
*Tony Parker - HE is great , but I think Baron will get over him because the face he picked up with those alley-opps to Blake Briffin
*Baron Davis - He'll be in there

Paul's gotta set his priorities straight ..

But seriously, what the fuck is this? Why fucking vote someone in to face the almighty Chris Paul? How about the actual defending champion? Jesus, Paul has done this competiton three times and never won it.

Voted for Curry, Westbrook, Rose and Evans though.

I got Curry to win it all, if he's voted in.

Paul is attention whoring like his best pal LeBron "I will enter the Dunk Contest" James.

Although his jumper has improved this season , I think he will have some trouble hitting the J in the competition

No Nash? I went with Baron, Fisher, Curry and Westbrook. Wouldn't be surprised if all four of them don't make it though.

Hmm...Wish Rondo/Deron/Nash were choices

How cool would that be to have the real battle for PG supremacy based on skills alone and nothing else around them?
