Irving, Texas (PRWEB) February 12, 2014 -- Portland Trail Blazers extraordinary sophomore Damian Lillard is slated to make NBA history this weekend by becoming the first player to compete in all five NBA All-Star Weekend events (BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge, Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest, Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game itself).
