By Dennis Velasco, About.com

How fast can you dribble, shoot, and pass? Well, the Skills Challenge tests some of the NBA's best players such as Steve Nash, LeBron James, and Chris Paul in how well and efficiently they can perform the basics of basketball. The players must dribble around obstacles, shoot a few baskets from the perimeter, and perform bounce and chest passes through vertical rings. The fastest to successfully do all of those things, wins.
