Burke was actually part of the winning team in last year’s challenge with Damian Lillard, but this year is an individual competition instead of a two-man challenge like last year’s event.
Thomas, Teague, Knight and Lowry also completion last year while Teague and Knight competed in the 2013 competition, the last year the event was a solo challenge.
