INDIANAPOLIS -- It was Dame time all NBA All-Star weekend long.

    The Milwaukee Bucks' Damian Lillard was named All-Star MVP on Sunday after scoring 39 points with 11 3-pointers to lead the East to a 211-186 win over the West.

    He joined Michael Jordan in 1988 as the only other player in league history to win a Saturday night event and be named MVP the same All-Star weekend.

    Lillard won the 3-point contest, edging the Minnesota Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns and the Atlanta Hawks' Trae Young in the final round. Jordan won the dunk contest in '88.

    "It's an honor. I've been here quite a few times, so to have this kind of accomplishment is special," Lillard told TNT in an on-court interview upon receiving the MVP award. "Anytime you have this type of experience enough, you want to have this experience -- you want to be All-Star Game MVP."

    Lillard, in his first season with the Bucks, became the fifth player to win All-Star Game MVP in his first season with a new team, excluding rookies.

    He also became the 20th player to win All-Star MVP while playing for his coach during that season; Milwaukee's Doc Rivers coached the East Conference team, which put up the most points in the game's 73-year history. The previous mark: 196 by the West in 2016.
