    Tony Parker looked like he really didn't want to be there.

    Called it. I said Bonner would win the 3pt contest, I was close.

    Did Lillard compete in the 3 point contest?

    Willard won one! Say that fast!

    Now I bet someone some money on the dunk contest. He says Bledsoe or Faried. I got everyone else and the odds.

    The last three Skills Competition winners have either had serious injuries or been out of the league within a year of winning it.

    Yes, Steve Nash, Steph Curry, and Tony Parker are cautionary tales to winning this competition.

    But you still get my point right? Lillard winning this award is the worst thing that could have happened to him.

    Horrible. Nash, Curry, and Parker are mediocre athletes who dunk the ball even less often than Lillard! Lillard has them all beat combined this year.

    Kyrie Irving looked really good. What would it take to get him?

    We would never do it but it would take LMA and a first round pick for them to consider imo. Obviously there would have to be contracts thrown in to match.

    Does anyone know where that time ranks all-time? I see that it's sixth all-time amongst the 'winning times,' but how does it rank overall?

    Edit: Here are the 'winning times' for reference.

    25.5 - Deron Williams (2008)
    25.8 - Steve Nash (2005)
    26.1 - Dwyane Wade (2006)
    26.4 - Dwyane Wade (2007)
    28.2 - Stephen Curry (2011)
    29.8 - Damian Lillard (2013)
    29.9 - Steve Nash (2010)
    31.6 - Baron Davis (2004)
    32.8 - Tony Parker (2012)
    35.1 - Jason Kidd (2003)
    35.3 - Derrick Rose (2009)

    Not bad company...

    6th place out of 11 times the contest has been held is exactly average. You might try sorting by experience or age.

    That's why I was trying to get a list of all the times, not just the 'winning times.' There could have been higher times in first rounds, as well as higher second/third place scores. You also don't know how good the time is unless you know how the 'losers' have done over the past 11 seasons. It'd be nice to just see a complete list of times, regardless of who won.
