Milwaukee Bucks' Damian Lillard is gearing up for the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco with his sights set on a historic three-peat in the 3-point contest. The sharpshooting guard will face stiff competition from a talented field that includes rising stars like Cade Cunningham and Tyler Herro, as well as established names such as Jalen Brunson and Darius Garland. Lillard has a chance to etch his name in the history books alongside legends like Larry Bird and Craig Hodges by becoming the first player since 1992 to win the contest three times in a row.
Last year, Lillard put on a show in the 3-point contest finals, clinching his second consecutive title with a clutch performance that saw him nail the game-winning shot on his final attempt. With a mix of skill, precision, and nerves of steel, Lillard has solidified his status as one of the premier shooters in the NBA. As he looks to join the elite club of back-to-back-to-back champions, fans can expect nothing short of fireworks when Lillard takes the court next week in pursuit of basketball glory at the All-Star Weekend.
