    It takes skillz to win the NBA skillz challenge without having the skillz to pass or dribble.

    I don't mind at all being called out, although I don't consider myself a hater.

    TBH, Beveley winning the contest is even funnier than him being selected to participate. I like it. It's pure entertainment gold.

    they should have rules for doulbe dribbling and travel. 3 strikes or something. even if someone brought up that he'd do that i wouldnt expe thim to whin. and harden with the 2nd lowest 3pters. its all ass backwards for the rockets on all star saturday

    Couldn't dribble, couldn't pass, fumbled the ball a few times and an epic travel looking like Arian Foster carrying the ball at the end yet somehow he won so props to him.

    Funniest part was the kid at :35 sec mark. I made the same face and reaction.

    Lol I had to re-watch that. He essentially could not dribble well and was slow but he made some 3 pointers in a row.

    He is the sort of aggressive underdog that Houston always needed, needs and will continue need.

    So are there no rules that you have to dribble?? Glad Pat one but it seems pretty silly that this is a skills competition yet Pat demonstrated lack of knowledge of basic fundamentals lol.

    Best comedy award.... he won because both Knight and Teague could not hit a 3 pointer

    Where was Lowry after his first showing?

    I was the only person on the first few pages to not talk s*** about our guy. Y'all should have more faith.

    The best part is that in every round, Beverley had some sort of double dribble/travel. hahaha too funny!
