“MVP in a zero competitive game“: NBA fans sound off on Damian Lillard despite matching Michael Jordan

Damian Lillard exploded for 39 points to help the Eastern Conference blow out the West 211-186 in the All-Star matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sunday.

He was awarded MVP of the All-Star game, and in the process, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar joined Michael Jordan in winning multiple awards during the All-Star Weekend. The Chicago Bulls legend won the Dunk Contest and later MVP in 1988, and now Lillard has matched that record by winning the 3-point contest and the All-Star MVP.

However, fans were not impressed despite his feat, with one saying:

"Lol. 3 three-point contest is fine but it isn’t elite to get an MVP in a zero-competitive game. So * should be next to that MVP. Also naming it the Kobe Bryant trophy is not honoring Kobe in the least."

More fan responses trickled in.

NBA fans weren't too keen with Damian Lillard winning NBA All-Star MVP

Counting his 3s from the Saturday contest, the 33-year-old made 57 shots from beyond the arc this weekend, including 11 on Sunday. The game’s leading scorer was the West’s Karl-Anthony Towns, who notched up 50 points in the loss.
