Steve Nash the Skills Champ Again
Filed under: Suns , NBA All-Star Game Steve Nash , fresh from his torch-carrying role at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, won the 2010 Taco Bell Skills Challenge as part of the Saturday night festivities at All-Star Weekend. Nash was the oldest of the four point guards who competed, but he still was the fastest, beating Utah’s Deron Wiliams in the finals. The Skills Challenge is a timed competition involving a variety of point guard skills that include dribbling, passing and shooting. The other competitors were Russell Westbrook , who replaced the injured Derrick Rose , and Brandon Jennings . “These young guys are tough, but I got my second wind,” Nash said. “Then I took it easy on them.” Although Williams had a better time in the semi-final round, Nash came through in the Finals, winning by a comfortable eight seconds. Nash, who played earlier in his career in Dallas, will be the starting point guard Sunday for the Western Conference. ? Permalink ?|? Email this ?|? Linking?Blogs ?|? Comments
