“We’re going to have to see,” said Lillard, who is also the defending three-point contest champion. “I understand what’s being attempted. You want to create some type of competitiveness in that game on Sunday. You want to try to mix it up to try to find a way to make it more entertaining. We’ll see. “I’m definitely more a fan of, like, the originality. I think being able to play on Sunday is a special thing. The top players get to do it. Not everybody has that experience. One side of me is like, why? Why change it?

I picked the Thunder. Realistically, the outcome won’t meant much in a historical sense anyway.
But man, it would be cool to see Damian Lillard hoist any sort of championship trophy on a professional basketball court, even if it’s not the bigger one. – 12:16 PM
