New All-Star Weekend Idea: Big Man's Skills Challenge

A new idea for All-Star Weekend: the Big Men's Skills Challenge.

All-Star Weekend is just seven days away.

We all know we love it really, however much we love to gripe and moan sometimes.

This year we even get treated to a new game: the long-awaited H.O.R.S.E game.

And while that is sure to be a hit, I am going to propose not a new event all together, but an adoption of a current one.

The Skills Challenge.

The Skills Challenge was brought in six years ago now, with Jason Kidd edging out Gary Payton in the finals. (I know, makes it seem like an age ago doesn't it?).

And the challenge has been a staple at the weekend extravaganza ever since.

Now, let me involve Shaq in my idea for a moment.

Every year, Shaq brings something new and different to the All-Star Game.

The shoe-phone?

The remote control shoe?

So with the game being in Phoenix, let's honor the big man's tradition.

Instead of having guards run through the skills challenge course, let’s have the league's best big men do it.

How hilarious would it be to see seven footers pulling out the dribble moves, trying to thread a bounce pass or nailing a jumper?

Let's say this was the lineup for the event:

The Magic's Dwight Howard
