Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis has won the NBA Skills Challenge Competition, much to the excitement of Shaquille O'Neal, aka Shaqradamus. Sabonis beat Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic in the finals.

Domantas Sabonis defeated New York Knicks forward Julius Randle with ease in the first round and then proceeded to beat Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic to advance to the finals.

Vucevic and Sabonis were dead-even as they headed to the final task which was hitting a 3-point show. Both players missed multiple 3-pointers before Domantas Sabonis finally managed to put one in and seal his victory.

Domantas Sabonis becomes the fifth big man to win the Skills Challenge in six years. Last year, he was the runner-up last season but now has become the first Pacers player to win the challenge.

Domantas Sabonis is a special player with cleverness and versatility, as this story noted:

Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis had a brilliant outing during Wednesday’s victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played so well that he has etched his name in the team’s history books.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, Sabonis is the first player with at least 30 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a game in Pacers history. For what it’s worth, he ended the contest with a 36-17-10 stat line.

Indiana has a record of quality big men such as Rik Smits, Jermaine O’Neal and Roy Hibbert (for a couple of years). In just his fourth season with the Pacers, Domantas Sabonis should definitely be included on that list.

Entering the matchup with the Timberwolves, he has been putting up 21.0 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest. Myles Turner is the perfect complement to Sabonis, as he covers for him on the defensive end. Even then, the Lithuanian big has a high motor on both ends of the floor.
