The NBA All-Star game lacked its main star, who was more focused on his own competition in a 3-point challenge. The regular 3-point contest featured some of the biggest names in the sport. However, as with any major event, controversy arose, and this time it was directed at one individual.
During the 3-point contest, photos of the player went viral, showing him stepping on the line while shooting. According to the rules, in order to score a successful 3-point shot, one must be behind the line. Fans have accused the NBA star of cheating in the event.
The competition showcased some of the best shooters in the game, including players from the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, and more. However, it was Damian Lillard, also known as “Big Game Dame,” who emerged as the winner, securing the trophy for the second consecutive year with a score of 26 points after a close battle with Trae Young.
