    There's a shot just below the 3pt line.

    Lin is a better passer than tony Parker

    Hopefully the cones don't trap Jeremy. He never handles doubles very well.

    if he can fluke that jumper in the first try, he can win this easy cuz he's really quick

    Lol yall are so mean, I'm pretty sure he's actually gonna try unlike the other participants usually, cuz the contest gives away a scholarship or donates money to charity, and knowing lin he's probably gonna wanna win it for the whoever is getting the money

    Isn't the skills challenged usually filled with all star PGs? GL Lin.

    The outcome doesn't really mean anything. Chris Paul has never won it, doesn't mean he's not the best PG. Usually the ones who try the hardest win.

    Lin has incredibly high acceleration. If he puts in effort he could easily win (not that I care).

    Lin is an outstanding passer and he is nearly perfect this year with that foot on the line 3 pointer so that jump shot is nonissue. The fastest first step in the NBA... #7 is going all the way baby!

    Having said all that, I would have rather he taken the rest or go home to Cali and work on his 3 point shot for the second half.

    I think he will be fine with that jump shot, he has seemed pretty consistent on the mid range in games so far. It's just when he takes a few steps back he starts bricking.
