You more than held up your end of the bargain Rip City, even if the final tally didn't go our way.
On Thursday, the NBA announced final voting results for the 2020 All-Star Game starters, with Damian Lillard coming in third among West guards, just below the cut line for getting a starting spot, while Carmelo Anthony finished sixth among West frontcourt players.
Finishing third in voting, behind Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic and Rockets guard James Harden, is close as Lillard has come to winning a spot as an All-Star starter. The 6-3 point guard in his eighth season out of Weber State finishes third in all three votes -- fan, player and media -- to finish ahead of Houston's Russell Westbrook, Utah's Donovan Mitchell, Phoenix's Devin Booker, Memphis rookie Ja Morant and Oklahoma City's Chris Paul.
