Damian Lillard Wins 2023 NBA 3-Point Contest ⌚️ | HIGHLIGHTS

They are differentiated by name, by the way, yes, that's the thing and the game of the All-Star break. Lillard, the fourth leading scorer in the NBA, and here he is saying goodbye to part of that 75th anniversary team named last year in NBA history and, again, it's not necessarily how you start but you want to start finding a rhythm and here we think this is too close for James' place oh he doesn't have one of those you do, yeah I feel like he's about to pass 25. and here comes his money yeah right this side of the court, yeah, so it's six

point

s just from the range of sorry, this is his record money he has to make up here, here it goes, 25 is the one that will knock your hair out, now here we go, pressure.

Here we go 23. I need the money balloon. Oh, he knocked out a former champion in Buddy Hill. Your chances just dropped to 50. He surely did it. He probably did it in August of '67. Look at him, he made the last four shots of him. We have that one to go. then the reach story, so six

point

s just on those two shots, yeah, think about that huge one, it's easy money, oh man, on all the concentration, nothing but the net, all I'm missing is this, go to your wrist. Gimme, here's Buddy Hill's reaction, like I would have done one of those Damien Lillard starry rain shots.

I'm going to give up credit to the guys just for being in the finals. We haven't had Trailblazers three-point champions until tonight, for the first time, when there are many firsts before the Portland series. yeah, that's what he was waiting for right there, the instructions for Weber State, the uniform he's wearing tonight, that was the first school and really the only school that recruited him out of high school in Oakland, California, they played in Oakland, went to Ogden, Utah, and now The plays in Oregon really make you question basketball. Talent evaluators are fine. Turn your attention to center court and welcome the head of marketing for starring Michael Smith here to present the

is the charm Ed with the ladies of the NBA Dame Lillard we know your way from Oakland to Ogden to Oregon you went to college 30 minutes from here how much more special is it to win your first three-point title with the university Deep down, I mean, it makes it that much more special. You know, I did it twice before they say third time's the charm and I'm happy it happened here, so it's a perfect situation. I'm happy to be able to do it. my home coming back here to Utah you are the Portland Trailblazers, you are the first three point champion in franchise history, we know you are one of the best three point shooters that has ever tied you, what does this mean to you? having this in your mansions, I think all the best shooters in the history of our game, most of them have one of these and like I said, being in this competition a few times and not having one, I just wanted to give it to them.

Do it at least once, so I'm glad I got it now. I can retire. It's hard for you to leave him for your boy. Starry three-point
