2013 NBA All-Star Weekend: Taco Bell Skills Challenge

Postby Andrew on Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:26 pm

Perhaps not the most glamorous event, but always a fun one to watch in my opinion.

2013 Eastern Conference Taco Bell Skills Challenge Participants

Jrue Holiday (Philadelphia)
Brandon Knight (Detroit)
Jeff Teague (Atlanta)

2013 Western Conference Taco Bell Skills Challenge Participants

Tony Parker (San Antonio)
Damian Lillard (Portland)
Jeremy Lin (Houston)


I'm going with last year's champion, Tony Parker. He's still incredibly quick and easily the best player in this year's field. Unless his shot fails him, I say he goes back-to-back.

I want Linsanity to come back so I will go with Lin. He no LOLakers nor the Knickersuckers, but I think he can still bring back the excitement like last season. Perhaps this can be a confidence booster for the latter half of the season.

I can see the jumper from the top of the key being the downfall for Lin, given the way he's shooting so far this season.

Picked Lillard because I think he can just win this one and add some awards to his name.

Go Lin!

Thought it'd be nice to see Lin win it, I believe Lillard will win.

Got Lillard right. Sub 30 seconds performances from him.

Well, the Parker pick didn't work out so well. Nice showing from Lillard.

He's been pretty inconsistent recently so I hope this boosts his confidence for the rest of season. Hoping to see the team making the playoffs, otherwise will be a great disappointment.
