The NBA will hold its annual 3-Point Contest in Indianapolis on Saturday night as part of this year's All-Star Weekend festivities.
Last year's champion, Damian Lillard, will get a chance to defend his title against seven other competitors. The hometown hero, Tyrese Haliburton, is just one of the returning participants looking to eliminate Lillard.
Jason Kapono is the last player to win the 3-Point Contest in back-to-back years, earning the trophy in 2007 and 2008. Can Lillard join an exclusive club?

Two "STARRY Range" zones will sit between the racks at the wings and top of the key. Each zone holds one white ball worth three points. Each player will have 70 seconds to shoot as many of the 27 balls as he can.
