The field is headlined by New Jersey Nets point guard and three-time NBA All-Star Deron Williams. Williams won the Skills Challenge in 2008.
Three-time NBA champion and NBA Finals MVP Tony Parker is also scheduled to participate. He'll be joined by 2012 All-Star Russell Westbrook, 2011 Skills Challenge champion Stephen Curry, rookie Kyrie Irving and Wizards point guard John Wall.
The skills competition -- introduced during All-Star Weekend in 2003 -- consists of two rounds in which players navigate an "obstacle course." The course includes dribbling, passing and shooting tests.
