SALT LAKE CITY: Portland's Damian Lillard won the Three-Point Contest and unheralded Mac McClung captured the Slam Dunk Contest crown on Saturday at NBA All-Star Game weekend festivities.Seven-time NBA All-Star Lillard, a member of the US Tokyo Olympic gold medal team, was a college star at nearby Weber State, adding to his joy at winning the long-range shootout in his third attempt.'It makes it that much more special,' Lillard said.
'The best shooters in the history of our game, most of them have one of these,' Lillard said of the 3-point trophy. 'To be in this competition a few times and not have one, I just wanted to get it done at least one time.'I'm happy I got it. Now I can retire from it.'Tyrese Haliburton and 2020 3-point contest winner Buddy Hield, both of the Indiana Pacers, joined Lillard in qualifying for the final.
