Damian Lillard might have just sparked anticipation for possibly the greatest NBA 3-Point Contest of all-time.

After Lillard won his third State Farm NBA 3-Point Contest in a stunning, edge-of-the-seat fashion during the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, he caught the attention of another great NBA shooter, arguably the greatest of all-time, who seemingly wants in on next year's competition.

Stephen Curry, the NBA's all-time leader in three-point shots made, confirmed in an Instagram direct message to Lillard that he would compete in the 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend's 3-Point Contest in Phoenix, Arizona.

Lillard reached out to Curry first to assemble the troops.

He lobbied for himself, Curry, Klay Thompson and Devin Booker to be frontrunners in next year's competition, adding they would need to find four more participants.

"Next year ... me, you, Klay, Book, and 4 more real shooters," Lillard said.

Curry responded with excitement and interest in the ultimate competition between the league's best shooters.

"Yessir I'm in. Know Klay will do it if I ask and Book will be at home. Perfect setup," Curry wrote, according to Lillard's Instagram story.

Lillard posted the interaction to his social channel, seemingly confirming the arrangement.

"It's lit," Lillard captioned his Instagram story.
