Damian Lillard, the Milwaukee Bucks star, showcased an outstanding performance during the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, securing both the Three-Point Contest championship for the second consecutive year with a 26-PT round and the Kobe Bryant MVP award in the All-Star Game. Lillard, who scored 39 points, including 11 three-pointers and a notable half-court 3-pointer, led the Eastern Conference to a historic 211-186 victory over the Western Conference, setting a new record for the most points scored by a team in the game's 73-year history. This victory also marked the first time a team has surpassed the 200-point threshold in an NBA All-Star Game. Lillard's achievements over the weekend placed him in elite company, joining Michael Jordan as the only other player to win an All-Star MVP and an All-Star Saturday event in the same year. Notably, Lillard became the first back-to-back Three-Point Contest champion since Jason Kapono in 2007/08, achieved his second-straight championship on the final shot, and humorously mentioned he "didn't practice at all" for the contest. He was a 7x NBA All-Star going into the weekend and had impressive stats of 22 points and 6 three-pointers in the first half of the All-Star Game. Lillard's MVP odds were +1300 before the event.
