Damian Lillard, the former Weber State star and Milwaukee Bucks guard, showcased his exceptional skills during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, clinching both the 3-Point Contest title for the second consecutive year and the Kobe Bryant MVP Award. In the 3-Point Contest, Lillard defended his title with a remarkable 26-PT round, outshining competitors Trae Young and Karl-Anthony Towns, and became the first player since Jason Kapono in 2007/08 to win back-to-back championships. During the All-Star Game, Lillard led the Eastern Conference to a 211-186 win over the Western Conference, scoring 39 points with 11 three-pointers, including a half-court 3-pointer, amassing 33 points and 9 threes by halftime. His achievements earned him the MVP title, placing him alongside Michael Jordan as the only players to win an All-Star game MVP and an All-Star Saturday event in the same year. However, his victory was met with boos from Indy fans.
