The participants this year are Stephen Curry, Russel Westbrook, John Wall, Derrick Rose, and Chris Paul.
All four of these players are excellent as point guards in their teams. The defending champion from last year is Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. This player was unable to defend his title as the skills challenge champion. However, in my opinion, if he tried harder, he was definitely able to get to the final two. Derrick Rose is my favorite player of all point guards, currently. This player tends to be very quick and drives to the rim many times. His quickness is his greatest strength. However, his weakest strength is the ability to shoot. Although he is a descent shooter, his shooting skills are the worst of all the high-rated skills he has.
The person that also shocked me during this contest was John Wall. John Wall is a rookie with amazing talent. He was the number one overall draft pick of 2011 and is showing one of the greatest skills the NBA has seen. In his glooming career, showing his appearance in the all-star skills challenge is a great honor. As a result, this player shows not only great skills, this player showed his potential to become the next greatest point guard.
However, in a fierce competition like this, there is only one winner. The final two contestants were Russel Westbrook of the Oklahoma Thunder and Stephen Curry of the Golden state Warriors. These two players are also one of my favorite players in the NBA. They both show great athleticism and they are also good shooters. These point guards were in a fierce competition that day.
The winner of the two was....
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors!
However, the special "thing" about this event was that the winner's partner, an high school student, will receive a $30,000 scholarship to their college fundings. As a result, Stephen Curry's partner, who is also from Golden State, received a $30,000 dollar scholarship! How fortunate....
