While Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry could challenge each other in the 3-point contest of All-Star Weekend, TNT affirm that Damian Lillard has decided to defend its title won in 2023.
Starting the All-Star Game for the first time in his career, the new leader of the Bucks will try to achieve the double in two years, a feat that has not been achieved since 2008, and it was Jason Kapono!
Stephen Curry will aim for the hat-trick
Last season, Damian Lillard won in a landslide against Buddy Hield, and at the time, we had the feeling that he had achieved his goal by winning this trophy. “I had already participated in it twice, but I didn't take it seriously enough. As a shooter, I wanted to win at least once before I stopped playing, and that's why I took this competition a little more seriously. »
Finally, perhaps “Dame Time” wants to make competition history with a double. Only seven players have won it multiple times. Among them, there is Stephen Curry, and if the Warriors leader participates this season, he could win a third time, and thus equal Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.
