The 3-point contest started before the game with Stephen Curry going to his last shot to upend Mike Conley in a classic, but leisurely battle for the player many consider the best shooter of all time. But it continued into Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game.
With a minute to play in the second quarter Damian Lillard pulled up from half-court, lofting a 3-pointer that looked like he was shooting it from the regular 23-feet, 9-inches of a 3-point shot. Not to be outdone, Curry pulled up from the same spot with the same ease and comfort.
