SAN FRANCISCO -- Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul's bid at winning the NBA's Skills Challenge crown on All-Star Saturday night ended promptly when San Antonio's star duo was disqualified for not even trying to make real attempts on their shots.
The controversy erupted after Wembanyama and Paul were disqualified for trying to cheat the rules in the obstacle course that features players speeding through stations with various passing and shooting drills.
The two players had gone first in the opening round and were loudly booed by the crowd for failing to make even real attempts on their shots, just tossing the balls off the racks.
