    Damian Lillard takes home the 2023 NBA 3-Point Contest

    February 19, 2023

    In a contest of accuracy and coordination, Portland Superstar Damian Lillard proves why he is considered as one of the dangerous sniper in the league by taking home the 2023 NBA 3-Point Contest. This was his 3rd appearance in the 3-Point Contest but his first time winning it.

    Full highlights of the 2023 NBA 3-Point Contest;

    It was a close contest in the final round but Lillard made two “Starry” shots, each is worth and each of those baskets gave him three points in the decisive round, which helped him defeat Hield 26-25. Lillard won the game with his final shot from the corner, a two-point money shot.

    Lillard is currently 31% at the 3-pt line this season and will also play in the 2023 NBA All Star Game on Sunday.
