NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge
The Skills Challenge is a skill competition as part of the NBA All-Star Games . The event, sponsored by Taco Bell , has been held since 2003. It includes dribbling around obstacles, a few basket throws, and a chest pass and a floor pass into a net. The ball handling rules must be observed. By 2013, the two fastest of the four participating guards qualified for the final, where the winner was determined on the same route. From 2014 the skills challenge was reformed and four teams with two players each took part.
