Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was simply in awe of Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard during the NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta on Sunday.
Curry, fresh off winning his second 3-Point Contest title, picked up where he left off and showed why he is often regarded as the greatest shooter of all time. Lillard, for his part, didn't let his fellow guard take all the spotlight as he also showed his range that earned him the nickname “Logo Lillard.”
The two sharpshooters truly went off during the game, shooting from halfcourt and the logo at will. They were automatic, and there was even a point when they scored back-to-back halfcourt shots in the second quarter–seemingly competing even though they were teammates.
After such NBA All-Star Game performance, LeBron tweeted his admiration for the two, calling them “unfair” and even joking he asked them to shoot further.
By the way @Dame_Lillard & @StephenCurry30 simply ain’t fair!!! I literally kept telling them to back up further and further to shoot and what did they do?? EXACTLY 🤦🏾♂️

Lillard saw James' tweet and couldn't help but response, putting out several laughing emojis.

For what it's worth, Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard finished with eight 3-pointers each (out of 16 attempts). The Golden State Warriors star ended up with 28 points, while the Portland Trail Blazers scorer bagged 32 to help LeBron James' team dominate, 170-150.
It's certainly fun to watch both Steph and Dame went at it in NBA All-Star Game. While it would have been amazing to see them as opponents trading those halfcourt miracles, there is genuine fun in the friendly competition they had on Sunday.
Sure enough, after the NBA All-Star break, the two will not be stopping from shooting literally everywhere they want.
