Jeremy Lin is a proven NBA player with elite playmaking skills. Given his prior experience, he can dominate other participants if he gets more minutes. Moreover, if he pairs with Tacko Fall, we can see the duo create exciting moments and fun lobs.
Considering the fact that they are athletes, we can expect them to run the floor and dunk. ,Moreover, Amon-Ra St. Brown is a Los Angeles native, who might thrive in the spotlight at home.
Considering most participants in the contest are actors, athletes and even viral stars, it becomes quite unpredictable to predict the winner of the same. However, looking at the bigger picture, team Giannis Antetokounmpo holds an edge given an ex-NBA talent on their side.
