    Lillard in dunk contest.

    A friend of mine says it's official but I can't find anything yet. Anyone else hear something?

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    He's also in the skills challenge, all star game, rising stars game, and has been invited to join the three point contest.

    He could be the first player to complete an all-star weekend home run.

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    Crazy that he might actually do all 5 events at the All-Star weekend. He would be the first ever to do it.

    Thanks, Darkwebs! He has to accept the three point contest. No rest for the young cat.

    Yeah, I want him to accept the invitation to the 3-point contest just to make history.

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    Can a player actually play in the rookie/sophmore and the all-star game?

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    He's been invited for the three point contest??? Is this true? Why is he hesitating?

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    He's probably hesitating because he'll be dead tired doing all 5 events. :lol:

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    Please. He has to do it! First guy to be in all 5. Would be great coming out weekend for him. I'd actually watch it all.

    Damn dude. And you thought he was tired headed INTO the all star break? lol.

    Nah, that's cool. I can't wait to see him in the dunk contest. That's gonna be awesome.

    Since it's rigged he'll only be in it one round anyway.

    Re: Lillard in dunk contest.

    Honestly, I don't have much hope for this season. I see some awesome positives that will come from this, but I don't think we're going to do much in the postseason. The roster needs some tweaking that probably won't come until after the season is over.

    I think it's great that we have two All-Stars. That will only help our team going forward.

    I think it's great that we have a legit center in Rolo. That dude has been a real pleasant surprise this season.

    Our starting five is money. We really don't need to change much about our starting unit.

    The bench needs work. There's not much to be excited about when it comes to our second unit. CJ could be a nice piece, but he needs playing time. Leonard is a bust. TRob needs more development. This summer needs to be used to continue to work on our shitty bench.

    Why is Dame "considering the three point contest?"

    http://www.csnnw.com/blazers/sources-lillard-partake-dunk-contest-mulling-three-point-contest

    Does anyone wonder if the reason why he's only "considering" the three point contest is because his shot is shaky as hell right now?

    If Dame had been offered the spot two months ago, he'd have said yes in a heartbeat.
