Event Statistics

Description

The 2021 NBA Skills Challenge, held on a condensed All-Star Sunday in Atlanta, features a head-to-head bracket format designed to test versatility. The spotlight is on elite guards Luka Dončić and Chris Paul, who both received first-round byes. However, recent history favors the "bigs," with frontcourt players winning four of the last five events. Looking to continue that trend are Domantas Sabonis (last year's runner-up), Nikola Vučević, Julius Randle, and Robert Covington.

Result Description

Domantas Sabonis redeemed his 2020 runner-up finish by winning the 2021 Skills Challenge title. The Pacers forward was clinical throughout the night, defeating Julius Randle in the first round before upsetting the favorite, Luka Dončić, in the semifinals. In the championship round, Sabonis faced fellow big man Nikola Vučević—who had just eliminated Chris Paul. Both finalists struggled with the final three-pointer, but Sabonis eventually drained the winner to become the first player in Pacers history to win the event.
