   [Only two #Rockets  previously participated in the Skills Challenge since its inception in 2003. Jeremy Lin competed in 2013 while Patrick Beverley won the event in 2015.](https://twitter.com/rockets_insider/status/1625647830520954880?s=46&t=OuVrDUvTEPrvaFCEiFFTrQ)

   Hoping for two victories for guys wearing our jersey. Hoping it gives them some more confidence going forward.

   I want KJ to win so bad but the dunk contest is tailor-made for Mac unfortunately. He’s insanely well-versed in more than a few flashy dunks and is so natural and stylistic (plus his stature makes it look even more aesthetically impressive).
