Skills challenge title will be hard to defend!

[RC_Skinny22]

Rose will have to beat Steve Nash, Deron Williams and Brandon Jennings in this years Skills challenge.

This is much harder to do than beating Harris, Williams and Parker.

It´s going to be a very interresting event!

yea, competition is stacked... but i felt that last year the guys werent really trying that hard, maybe this will push them to take it more seriously.

I think Deron has it in his bag. He is just perfect for this competition. Has speed/shooting/passing/handling everything.

I see Rose vs Deron in the final round.

nash is a quicker guard /good passer/ good shooter.

 

[RC_Skinny22]

Nash quicker? I don´t know bout that one.

Rose won it last year by like a 30 second margin & that was against D-Will I believe.

Jennings is the X-factor. Rose can beat the other guys in his sleep. I'm going with a repeat victory for D Rose here.

And Nash quicker? No way. He's looked incredibly old this year.

Nash is in no way quicker. The key here IMO is the bounce pass and the jump shot. If Rose can get those in one shot, he wins. Williams is a master of that bounce pass and he'll definitely get it in one try and he's a good enough shooter to hit the jumper in one try too. Overall, Rose is by far the fastest so if he gets those two things to go, he's the winner.

No. D-Will was hurt last year and didn't participate.

Rose beat out Mo Williams/Devin Harris and I don't remember who the other player was.

I think Rose's real competition is Deron Williams - who won it the year before Rose won it.

Rose better not take it easy.

Last year D Rose didnt take it serious at all he didnt sprint once he jogged the whole thing and won because he made everything in one try. D wade just embarraced himself last year for he turned the ball over out of bounce when there was no one guarding him(embarracing) but yea hopefully rose tries harder this time around and actually plays more to win it then to have a good time. A nasty dunk at the end again wouldnt hurt too
