     He’s in the Skills Contest!!! Words cannot express how happy I am, literally screamed like a kid on Christmas when I was watching TNT. Seems like yesterday I saw his first video on this site and fell in love… It’s like watching my son grow up *tears*

       Oladipo, Giannis, MCW, Derozan for the East

      Burke, Reggie Jackson, Dragic, Lillard for the West

      I like MCW in the East and Dragic in the West I feel like Lillard wont go too hard for the skills since he’s got the 3pt and Dunk Contest

    hmmm, the west has some weird selections. I’m excited for the guys in the East though. The dunk competition has been pretty lame for the last little while

    The Skills Contest is the one most influenced by marketing potential of the players. Basically a randome group of older PGs could probably trounce this field, I would guess. And Giannis is unlikely to be competitive in this. Though I suppose anything can happen.

    Guys like Burke and Dragic who could really use a little extra publicity to help with their NBA careers should go hard in this contest. Oladipo should as well.

     Dragic probably is the facorite.  Him or Lillard.  

    Antetokounmpo is a funny selection because he, while very talented, is still growing into his body and can be a bit ungainly on the court at times.  I don’t know if he will look great in the contest.  He is extremely skilled for a guy his size and age, but youth and height seem to be disadvantages in the contest.

    The West are clearly the favorites. I could see any one of them winning it.

    For what it’s worth, they do the skills challenge in the McDonald’s All-American game and MCW had a perfect run lol. Made every pass and shot on his first try.

    As someone that’s a big fan of Giannis and MCW, I’m pretty excited about this.
