Only two legends, Larry Bird and Craig Hodges, have won the shootout three times in a row. The competition will be fierce at the Chase Center on February 14.
Lillard joins a star-studded field including Tyrese Haliburton and Lauri Markkanen. Known for his "Dame Time" heroics, he remains the favorite to take home the trophy.
The Bucks guard is currently shooting over 35 percent from deep this season. Fans are eager to see if his legendary deep-range accuracy will secure another title.
All eyes will be on the arc as the greatest shooters in the world collide.
