Wow I didn't see that coming at all. Crazy.

Sounds like a make up pick for being snubbed.

Well, it's not the all-star game, but it's still pretty cool that Deron's in it. He's the only non-all star in the group, so, knowing Deron, he probably feels like he has the most to prove. I hope he wins--not that it means much.

Yay our turnover powerhouse will be competing in the skillz challenge. lolness

Well, call me crazy, but I know that he is very good with his shot, and I think when he gets to the 3 pointer that is in the first part of the stage, that he will knock it down. It is make or break for most of the players. Jason Kidd sux, Chris Paul sux, Dwayne Wade has been able to make that shot soon in the past and therefore has been able to win it but he really sux. Deron was well known as the best shooter in Team USA last year and would beat the others in around the world and horse. Yes Kobe, Crymelo, Billups, LeBron, Redd and Mikey Millerova.

I am expecting an upset by Villiams

Deron is a confident dude. This competition has the most potential for embarrassment. I think he can win it though.

The question is ... will Kyle get invited to the 3 pt Challenge?

You are crazy, Duiz.

I am talking about the 3 point shots. If you take a look at last year, those who are able to make that 3 point shot at the beginning usually get the best timing. Jason Kidd and Chris Paul ain't close to being specialists. Definetly not Jason Kidd.
