"Me, you, Klay, Book, and 4 more real shooters," Lillard wrote to Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry on Instagram, hinting at a star–packed field for the 2027 contest.
Over the years, Lillard, Curry, and Klay Thompson have provided some of the most memorable three–point battles in NBA history, while Booker has added his name to the mix with strong performances in recent seasons.
Off the court, Portland fans are eagerly awaiting Lillard's return. Rejoining the Blazers after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks, he is rehabbing the injury he suffered during last year's playoffs.
Once healthy, Lillard is expected to provide elite perimeter scoring and playmaking for a Blazers team climbing the Western Conference standings.
