Weber State alum Damian Lillard comes into his own during 4th NBA All-Star game: ‘I know I belong’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — One night after participating in the Three-Point Contest, No. 0 was right back on the court Sunday night as a member of Team LeBron.

At one point, Damian Lillard was considered underrated as a product of Weber State University, but now the Portland Trail Blazer is among the league’s brightest stars — and he knows it.

That was evident in his fourth All-Star Selection where Lillard ended with 18 points, six rebounds and five assists in Team LeBron’s 178-164 win against Team Giannis behind a strong second-half finish after trailing by 13 at halftime and 20 in the game.
