I think Rondo would be an excellent contestant in the Skills Challenge on All-Star Saturday.

I guess shooting musn't be one of the skills in the contest?

Rondo should be in Boston practicing jump shots and free throws.

You need to hit a free throw in the skills contest, right? That means Rondo wouldn`t be a good candidate for it.

Like Dave said, he should be in Boston practicing jump shots and free throws...consistently not just when he feels like it...

You have to hit a single 20 foot jump shot in each round of the competition. I don't think it's unrealistic for Rondo to go 2 for 2 from 20 feet. Jason Kidd has competed and won the Skills Challenge before and he's a lousy shooter.

Dude's young and has come a long way in his brief career, give him a break. The jump shot is looking a lot better than it used to.

I agree.

He's been pretty solid shooting when passing isn't an option.

I think he'd definitely win.
