Deron Williams will not defend his skills challenge record this year.

SL Trib wrote:"They already asked me, but I need the rest," Williams said prior to Friday morning's practice. "I've got too many things hurting right now, so the rest will do me good. . . .

Fine by me.

That course is an ankle injury waiting to happen. Good move Deron. Although I would have liked to see you there. Does this mean he'll sit out the all star game too if he gets in as a reserve?

good. He has nothing else to prove. He beat CP3 in the finals with a record time. There isnt a better ending then that.

At least we know his mind is in the right place. Even with all the problems he seems to be having mentally this season, I really think he has a very good head on his shoulders. He is smart...

I just don't think he feels like he needs to be there if they don't want him to play in the big game

Good news, considering there's zero chance of him making the All Star game anyway.

Dude holds the record.

No need to participate until someone else breaks it (fat chance :lol:

).
