NBA All-Star Weekend 2014: Skills Challenge 5-on-5
By David Menze
5. Which team do you think will win the Skills Challenge?
Menze: I think it will be an all-Western Conference final with Team 2 in Goran Dragic and Reggie Jackson pulling out a slight victory over Team 1 in Damian Lillard and Trey Burke.
Donoho: Damian Lillard and Trey Burke. Lillard won the event last year, and Burke should do well in this event. I like those two as a team.
Morton: I expect the Damian Lillard and Trey Burke duo to take the competition by storm. Both are incredibly explosive athletes and blazing quick with the ball in their hands.
Perry: Dragic and Jackson. This duo should be able to tear the course up with relative ease and they deny Damian Lillard his second straight title.
Blue: I’m going with Goran Dragic and Reggie Jackson. Dragic has always been a bit underrated as a player and his ball skills is one of his best attributes. Reggie Jackson has a lot of talent as well, there are even some videos out there of Reggie teaching ball handling skills. Those video views may skyrocket if he and Dragic win the challenge.
