Are you going to make any predictions?

Everyone remembers how you picked Maya Moore for the Shooting Stars event in 2013.

I would be happy to see some predictions by you.

I want to do a prediction on the Talent Challenge, but I can't find the contestants for this year.

I approve of No. 6.

Stockton's assists were mentioned.

There was no MVP for some reason.

This next article says there wasn't supposed to be a game:

But if you look at the first link, they ended up playing it.

This 2nd article also says that there wouldn't be a game MVP (which made sense at the time since there wouldn't have been a game).
