Lillard eyes three-peat, tops 3-point contest field
Briefly

Damian Lillard leads the field in the NBA 3-Point Contest at the upcoming All-Star weekend, aiming for a historic third consecutive title. Joined by notable players like Jalen Brunson and Tyler Herro, Lillard's potential victory would make him the first since Craig Hodges to achieve a three-peat. Last year, he secured his second title with an impressive performance in the final round. If successful, he will join the ranks of legends such as Larry Bird in having three consecutive wins, showcasing his enduring excellence in the league.
Lillard's second-straight title made him the first back-to-back champion since Jason Kapono (2007, 2008), showcasing his elite shooting skills and competitive spirit.
With a win, Lillard can become the first player since Craig Hodges (1990-1992) to win the contest three times, highlighting his remarkable consistency in performance.
