Jeremy Lin will be representing the Houston Rockets at the 2013 Taco Bell Skills Challenge, on Saturday February 16 during NBA All-Star Weekend.  The Taco Bell Skills Challenge is a timed course where contestants have to dribble, pass, and shoot to get past different obstacles.  There are six contestants:

  • Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs (defending champion)
  • Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers
  • Jeremy Lin, Houston Rockets
  • Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia 76ers
  • Brandon Knight, Detroit Pistons
  • Jeff Teague, Atlanta Hawks

A local teen will be paired with each player, and the contest will generate $55,000 in education scholarships awarded through the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens.
