With stations testing dribbling, passing and shooting, the Taco Bell Skills Challenge is an excellent measure of a players' overall game. The competitors must navigate through a series of obstacles, shooting stations and passing areas in the fastest time possible. The Skills Challenge is tailor-made for point guards and is a showcase for the NBA's best backcourt players.

In 2009, Rose electrified the All-Star Saturday Night crowd by finishing his final round with a reverse dunk to claim the title.

Am I the only one really disappointed that Rondo has not been selected to the Skills Challenge? I thought that he was going to make it because he was in the All-Star Game.

All the selected players are deserving, although I wonder what Jennings is doing there.

I know that Rondo's shot might have cost him a spot in the challenge but I was looking forward to see him perform in that contest since he is excellent in all its areas (passing, dribbling, running at full speed), except for the shooting.

Plus, the fact that average to "mediocre" shooters like Tony Parker and Wade (two years ago) were selected to the contest makes me wonder why Rajon wasn't selected. Even if his shot killed him in the contest he could not be worse than Parker last year!
