It's going to be before The All-Star Game.

I love this. Would really love to see an all bigs skills challenge. Jokic, Embiid, Bam, Vuc, Porzingis, Davis, Giannis, Durant.

6’10+

Maybe handicaps allowed for weight?

Glad he got selected for this. Hope he performs well and can take home that Skills trophy.

Nobody wants to see Vučević dribble around cones and throw the ball at a toilet seat cover; or whatever this is.

Everybody would be curious about Vučević in this speed-shooting contest.

I totally agree!

I'm just glad The Magic have someone in one of the three contests.

That should be the default, all of the teams should have at least 1 player in these contests to increase the ASW popularity between the all of the fans, not only the contenders.

That's cool, especially as he will probably be picked last for the ASG...He's very deserving of being there, but we know he's not exactly showboat material....would be amazing if he just bombs 3's like Middleton did a few years ago.

Who'd Vučević look dribbling around traffic cones?
