"Fresh off winning the 3-point contest at All-Star Weekend, Damian Lillard is already recruiting top competition for next season. The Portland Trail Blazers guard, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, still managed to win the 3-point contest Saturday night. His score of 29 in the final round edged Devin Booker and Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel for Lillard's third win in four years."
"Sunday night, Lillard shared a screenshot of an Instagram message he sent to Stephen Curry about luring the Golden State Warriors sharpshooter, Klay Thompson, Booker and "4 more real shooters" for next year's contest. Curry replied that he's in and that Thompson will do it if he asks. Curry added that with Booker being at home -- the All-Star Game will be in Phoenix next year -- it's a "perfect setup.""
