Kristaps Porzingis showcased his all-around skills to win the All-Star Skills Challenge defeating DeMarcus Cousins in the first round, Nikola Jokic in the second, and Gordon Hayward in the final matchup between the guard and big.
It's a good feeling that I'm able to showcase my skill with my size and show to the kids that you're capable of doing that even if you're tall and lanky like me,” Porzingis articulated following the win.
The Skills Challenge features an obstacle course with the participants passing the ball through a tire, weaving through cardboard defenders, finishing a layup, and hitting the 3-pointer. The 7-3 Porzingis nailed the chest pass on each of his course runs.
