NBA Skills Challenge 2013 - Jeremy Lin

James Harden, Chandler Parsons & Jeremy Lin will represent the Rockets in NBA All-Star 2013 next weekend in Houston.

Chandler was drafted to Team Shaq by Shaquille O'Neal for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge. Tickets are still available to support CP in person: http://bit.ly/Wcq6y3

Jeremy Lin was selected to compete in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge Saturday night.

Harden, in addition to serving as a reserve for the West in the All-Star game, will compete with former Rocket Sam Cassell and former Comet Tina Thompson in the Sears Shooting Stars contest.

 

By the way, Team Shaq has Lillard and Irving...Parsons should have a lot of fun with those guys!

 

Team Shaq is stacked, should be a fun game!

 

Said it in another thread but...TeamShaq has no PFs. Parsons to get the start?

 

I really hope Jeremy Lin doesn't embarrass us out there. LOL.

 

I have no worries Lin can get through the obstacles, the jumper is what scares me lol

 

Awesomeeeee.

 

Drummand can play the 4 for a meaningless game. He's very mobile for a big man.

 

Props to Roxxy.

With the popularity of Lin, I am not surprised.

I will set my DVR so that I will not miss a thing. :grin:

 

roxxy called it, good job.

 

He's probably gonna half ass it. He doesn't really take these things seriously from what I could tell from last years rising stars challenge.

 

I'm pretty sure he'll only embarrass himself if he does screw up!
Nobody in the whole world will blame you or the city...pretty sure about that.

Not necessarily. When Yi Jianlian was on the Bucks, they were also scheduled to play in China vs the Warriors. Then he got traded to the Nets. However, the Bucks also had just drafted Joe Alexander that year who spoke to the fans and media in Mandarin.
