]]> The NBA Skills part of the All-Star weekend isn’t as good as it used to be, but it still has its moments. More importantly, though, it is something we can bet on. That’s always a good thing. Here are the three most interesting bets on the board in my mind:

Winner of the three-point shootout - Daniel Gibson – 7/2 – Gibson played in the Rookie Challenge on Friday night and he nailed 11 threes. It would appear that he is pretty dialed in. He seems like as good a bet as any.

Slam Dunk contest – Rudy Gay – 7/2 – This contest is completely wide open. Gay is the longest shot on the board, he is very talented, and he has been working hard to prepare on Youtube. He seems like he is worth a shot at the price.

MVP – Chris Bosh – 20/1 – I’m not saying that Bosh is likely to win, but he was very determined to make the game (his video campaign to get in was brilliant and hilarious), he is underappreciated, and he has the skills. He seems like an overlay at this price.
