In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Damian Lillard was named the MVP of the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. The Portland Trail Blazers' star guard put on a show for fans and fellow players alike, showcasing his incredible scoring ability and clutch playmaking throughout the game. Lillard's performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he led his team to victory with an impressive stat line that included 35 points, 10 assists, and 5 rebounds.
Lillard's MVP award is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the game of basketball. His ability to rise to the occasion in high-pressure situations has solidified his status as one of the league's elite players. As fans celebrate Lillard's well-deserved recognition, they can only anticipate what other incredible feats he will achieve in the future.
The three-point shootout was solid as always. That’s a bread-and-butter event. The Steph vs. Sabrina heads-up competition was also fun. Sabrina tied the score of all the finalists in the three-point shootout and then Steph topped it for the best score of the night. Shooters gonna shoot.
Mac McClung defended his title so we avoided the riot that would have resulted from a Brown title, but it was an underwhelming contest on the whole. Only McClung’s self toss in mid-air and one of Toppin’s dunks were really anything special, in my opinion.
Warriors star is much more of a shooter than a dunker, so he simply laid it in instead.
Lillard, in his first season with the Bucks, became the fifth player to win All-Star Game MVP in his first season with a new team, excluding rookies.
He also became the 20th player to win All-Star MVP while playing for his coach during that season; Milwaukee's Doc Rivers coached the East team, which put up the most points in the game's 73-year history. The previous mark: 196 by the West in 2016.
