Watch: Luka Doncic's blown dunk leads to incredible half-court three by Damian Lillard at 2024 NBA All-Star Game
An already action-packed 2024 NBA All-Star Game produced perhaps the most memorable moment of the night when an embarrassing play quickly led to arguably the game's best shot.
Midway through the third quarter, Dallas Mavericks MVP candidate Luka Doncic blew what would've been a highlight-reel-worthy dunk at one end before Milwaukee Bucks' Damian Lillard picked up the rebound and hit an outlandish 51-foot three-pointer from step behind mid-court.
Lillard seems like a man on a mission. With the East leading the West, 160-136 through three quarters, the Bucks star led all scorers with 33 points, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and 9-of-17 from beyond the arc.
Meanwhile, Doncic leads the NBA, averaging 34.2 points per game, but on the biggest stage, he came up short, no pun intended.
Shortly after the missed dunk, he spoke with the commentary crew on TNT, where he poked fun at himself.
"I was feeling myself too much. I don't dunk, guys," Doncic said.
