RoCo selected for All-Star Skills Challenge

I'll leave it for others to capitalize on the punch-line.

Happy for RoCo!

Good Luck RoCo!

 

[julius]

I get honoring HBCU's, etc, but shouldn't it include people who were actually skilled at the stuff they're showcasing?

 

[Minstrel]

Good Luck RoCo!

Ditto, good luck!

He has a week to learn some skills!

I'm thinking that this year they changed the skills challenge to: someone like Steph or Dame goes through the old challenge and guys like RoCo, PatBev, Bam, Marcus Smart and Rondo just try to fuck up the score. Whoever holds the skilled player to the lowest score wins. I think that must be it because that's the only way this makes any sense.

Wait, what?

okay..... good luck?

Odds on a last place finish vs 1st place for RoCo?!

Odds on a last place finish vs 1st place for RoCo?!

10:1?

 

[kjironman1]

10:1?

Have to be way better than that. If he gets second place you lose. 10 per contestant at least?

I thought he was asking for the odds of last vs first, with everything else being a push.

Okay. That works better but still only 10:1?

Roco is such a weird pick for this event. The guy can't really dribble or pass, at least at an elite level.

Kind of wish Simons had been picked for this event. He's not a natural passer in terms of seeing the court, but he seems reasonably accurate. Much better three point shooter and dribbler.

Nassir Little would have been fun for the Dunk Contest.

Not that it matters. I forgot that Dame won the Skills Challenge twice. It's not exactly a big deal.

I took a total guess! You think it should be worse than 10:1?

I figured there has to be some chance that someone else gets stuck at a station and totally blows it, allowing him to finish 2nd to last or better.

But, the odds of him being 1st is pretty low as well.

My first thought was, "well, I guess they don't have a Defense Challenge in All-Star weekend."

 

[jlprk]

I understand it. They added a Gerald Wallace Lookalike Contest.

The skills challenge should change to non NBA skills...somebody comes out juggling .....somebody plays a Bach suite on cello....somebody does magic tricks....another person hypnotizes rookies...put a little PT Barnum in the program...a high wire act....a lion tamer...tap dancing...skeet shooting

Easiest $15,000 you could ever make.
Of course after taxes it will only be $10,000 but still.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

That went about as well as expected.

Love the RoCo big contribution to his small school. He was the only one I saw rocking his college jersey.

Awesome representing the Blazers, the NBA, and his college (Tenn. State, I think)
