Damian Lillard’s longtime trainer, Phil Beckner, told him to pull a Larry Bird and ask his competition “Who’s coming in second?” Lillard didn’t do that, but he won the 3-point contest in Utah wearing his Weber State jersey.

I asked Damian Lillard if he was retiring from the 3-point contest now that he’s won one. He said he hasn’t decided yet. “I feel like I would want to just not do it no more, but as soon as I won it, I want to do it again. I don’t know. Maybe. We’ll see.” – 10:42 PM
