Damn! ..... Damian is Da Man !!!

Damian Lillard will become the first player in NBA history to take part in five events during the All-Star festivities that run from Feb. 14-16: the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge Friday night, then the Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest on what's deemed State Farm Saturday night, and the All-Star game Sunday./QUOTE]

Damian Lillard to make history at NBA All-Star weekend

Now if he wins all 5 that'd be something else. He's actually my pick for the dunk contest (dunks always look better when shorter guards do them) and he's the returning champ in the skills, isn't he?

2 of the other 3, he has a 50-50 shot. The hardest one, IMO will be the 3-pt contest. I don't see that going down. But hey, not too bad of a shot.

The dude is charting new territory. I wish him all the best.

Good for him, but don't get too horny about it.

I love that he is so into basketball that he wants to take part in every opportunity available to him.

He is a hungry player, he wants to win and he wants to be recognized. I understand that it is hard to be relevant when you are tucked away in the northwest, but in our modern age no one is forgotten. Durant is a national name dispute being in the northwest during his first years and then being sent to the wasteland of Oklahoma. Lillard will become a national name after the all-star weekend. He will not show up to go through the motions, he will be there to compete.

Good for him. He's on his way to becoming one of the best pg's in the league. I give him an excellent shot at winning every competition except for the dunk contest.

One hopes his contributions to his team do not suffer post All Star break.
