Saturday is reserved for the NBA All-Star Saturday Night events, one of which is the NBA Skills Challenge. Basically, all the skills challenge involves is an obstacle course that tests the ability of some of the best players in the NBA today.
It may not be as popular as the Slam Dunk Contest or as intense as the three-point contest but the Skills Challenge is one of the more entertaining events of the night.
Here’s a look at who is going to be in the skills competition tonight:
- Trey Burke, Utah Jazz
- Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls
- Dennis Schroeder, Atlanta Hawks
- Brandon Knight, Milwaukee Bucks
- Kyle Lowry, Toronto Raptors
- Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks
- Isaiah Thomas, Phoenix Suns
- Patrick Beverley, Houston Rockets
Isaiah Thomas and Trey Burke are two of the more exciting players in the event, as well as Jimmy Butler who continues to be a rising star in the NBA. It’s a fool’s guess as to who will win, but one thing is certain — it’s going to be one of the most entertaining events of All-Star Saturday Night.
