Damian Lillard Defends 3-Point Contest Title at NBA All-Star Weekend

Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks is set to defend his title in the NBA All-Star Game 3-point Contest on February 15 in San Francisco, aiming for a historic three-peat. Lillard, who previously won in 2023 and 2024, will compete against seven other shooters, including notable names like Tyler Herro and Jalen Brunson. The contest, part of All-Star Saturday, will feature competitors such as Cleveland's Darius Garland and Miami's Tyler Herro, both of whom are having strong seasons. Interestingly, two-time MVP Stephen Curry will not participate, leaving Buddy Hield to represent the Golden State Warriors. Lillard's performance in the contest will be closely watched as he seeks to join legends Larry Bird and Craig Hodges as the only players to win three consecutive titles. The All-Star weekend will also include other skill competitions and the All-Star Game itself, showcasing some of the league's top talents.
