Los Angeles • Even in an All-Star Game, where the defense is half-speed or slower, an outstretched Kevin Durant is not an easy obstacle.
“I wasn’t going to go out there and be invisible,” Lillard said. “I went out there and was like, I’m gonna play and I’m gonna be a part of the show.”
The Weber State product and Portland Trail Blazers guard had 21 points on 9-for-14 shooting, and added three rebounds and two assists. Perhaps most tellingly, he received the only MVP vote that didn’t go to LeBron James.
While his Team Steph fell 148-145 to James and his team, it was never about winning or losing for Lillard.
