Damian Lillard delivered some memorable moments during the 73rd NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night in Indianapolis, drilling 11 three-pointers and scoring 39 points to take home MVP honors in the Eastern Conference’s 211–186 win.

But Lillard’s most enjoyable moment came off the court after the game was over. 

The Milwaukee Bucks star spent time with his kids, sharing the sweetest moment with his daughter, Kali, who wanted to snap photos of him with his MVP trophy.

“Daddy, I wanna take your picture!” Kali Lillard exclaimed.

The Bucks star then proceeded to pose for pictures and subsequently admired the shots his daughter captured.

Lillard was the Most Valuable Player on the court during the All-Star Game, and then the most valuable dad off the court following the contest. 

Lillard became just the second player, along with Michael Jordan, to win both an All-Star Saturday night event along with the All-Star Game MVP award in the same weekend.
