**SAN FRANCISCO –** Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks star guard, is looking to etch his name in NBA history. The two-time defending champion is set to compete in the 3-Point Contest at NBA All-Star Weekend, aiming for an unprecedented three-peat.
Lillard will face a formidable field of eight competitors, including Jalen Brunson (Knicks), Cade Cunningham (Pistons), Darius Garland (Cavaliers), Tyler Herro (Heat), Buddy Hield (Warriors), Cameron Johnson (Nets), and Norman Powell (Clippers). A victory would make Lillard the first player to win three consecutive 3-Point Contests since Craig Hodges (1990-92), joining an elite club that includes Larry Bird (1986-88).
Last year’s thrilling final saw Lillard score 26 points, overcoming a late slump to sink the game-winning shot. His back-to-back victories already put him in rare company, as only Jason Kapono, Larry Bird, Craig Hodges, Mark Price, and Peja Stojakovic have previously achieved that feat. All eyes will be on Lillard in San Francisco as he attempts to make history once again.
