    Usually the ones that participate in the Skills challenge become All-stars within the next couple of yrs.

    that correct?

    They've added a puzzle at the end of the competition so that Jeremy Lin can win this thing.

    Am I the only one who'd rather watch the Lin vs Morey ping pong game than any of the All-Star events? I hope that's televised or at least a video shows up on Rockets.com.

    I'm with you on this one. I'm more excited about this matchup than the all star game. I can imagine Morey cussing like a sailor and Jeremy laughing it off. If Jeremy wins, he should do the 3-goggles. There should be a game thread on this game. :grin:

    Jeremy did beat Chandler 2 games to one.

    same here, Lin can easly hurdle all the obstacles, but the initial shot and final layup worries me

    No you're absolutely not! I'd totally watch this over anything else going on that weekend.

    I think Lin should use only his right hand for the skills challenge just to mess with people. that'd be pretty funny.

    To be honest, I would rather watch "high IQ" NBA players play chess against one another than the skills challenge.

    Are there any high IQ NBA players in the league? They all play video games.

    I would love to see Yao and Shaq play ping pong with regular equipment. It would be hilarious seeing how they would hold it, considering their hands are probably bigger than the paddles.

    I'm gonna go in the opposite direction of the crowd and into the other side of the spectrum this time and say that Jeremy Lin razzle dazzles the world, makes the bounce pass with his left while looking at all the Houston haters, 360 Air-King-Mamba-Rantula Dunks that ****, and super high arcs that 3 ball with his eyes closed while singing Gangnam style that entire time; and then finally, screams to the crowd, HOUSTON MUDA PUCKAS!

    If his first one hits Lin will win it. If he misses, he'll be last.
