NBA All Star Game: Damian Lillard does the double in Indianapolis

In the game between the stars, he put up 39 points, with as many as 11 threes

The NBA All Star Game, 2024 edition, è was literally dominated by Damian Lillard, in his eighth appearance. After winning the 3-point Contest, the Milwaukee Bucks ace also è took home the prestigious title of MVP of the all-star competition. Damian Lillard ended the match with an impressive 39 points on the score sheet, with 11 triples scored (two from sidereal distance). A special person, worthy of the MVP.

Damian Lillard thus becomes the first player, along with Michael Jordan, to win a trophy in both the Saturday and Sunday competition: "Any time you are mentioned in the same category as Mike, è an honor, è a major achievement, even if it is the All-Star Weekend" the words of a satisfied Damian Lillard reported by ESPN.

And to say that, for the MVP title race, Damian Lillard had to deal with an opponent who was anything but surrendering. Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves shined with an impressive 50 points on the scoreboard but, to his chagrin, he was wearing the West's jersey and, for the final votes, it matters whether, in the end, you come off the court a winner or a loser. So, 50 points not enough to snatch the award from the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks'All Star.
