In the land of one of the greatest NBA 3-point shooters – Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller – another of basketball’s all-time great clutch 3-point shooters – Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard – will try to defend his 3-point contest title at All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis.
Lillard beat out Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton and then-Indiana guard Buddy Hield in last year’s 3-point contest final round, and he needed to make his final shot to edge Hield 26-25.
Lillard, who played for Portland last season, will try to become the first back-to-back winner since Toronto’s Jason Kapono in 2007 and 2008.

What are the NBA 3-point contest rules?
Ball racks are stationed at five locations around the 3-point line, and four of the racks contain four orange basketballs and one money ball. The orange basketballs are worth one point, and the money ball, which has to be the last ball shot on each rack, is worth two points. The fifth rack will be an all money-ball rack and each competitor gets to choose where this rack will be among the locations. Each money ball on this rack is worth two points. Two pedestals are placed deeper than the 3-point line, edging closer to the center court logo, and each pedestal holds a white basketball. A made shot from deep range is worth 3 points.
Each contestant has 70 seconds to shoot as many of the 27 basketballs as he can.
