It's an honor. I've been here quite a few times, so to be able to have this kind of accomplishment, it's special," Lillard told TNT in an on-court interview upon receiving the MVP award. "Anytime you have this type of experience enough, you want to have this experience -- you want to be All-Star Game MVP

Lillard, in his first season with the Bucks, became the fifth player to win All-Star Game MVP in his first season with a new team, excluding rookies.

He also became the 20th player to win All-Star MVP while playing for his coach during that season; Milwaukee's Doc Rivers coached the East team, which put up the most points in the game's 73-year history. The previous mark: 196 by the West in 2016

Lillard said the East wanted the record.

"Everybody was asking what the record was," Lillard said. "We found out and went after it.

And Lillard ended it in style -- a 44-footer to close the scoring

was just gonna keep shooting until I missed ... just having fun, playing basketball," Haliburton said. "I didn't know how many minutes I was gonna play, didn't know how my leg would feel, but I felt good today, even after the one-legged dunk, so that's positive for me

"It wasn't high intensity at all, but it feels good that I felt good and hopefully I can continue that moving forward
