Teenager wins ‘life-changing’ $100K by beating Damian Lillard in viral NBA 3-point contest

There weren’t many memorable sH๏τs in the NBA’s poorly received new All-Star Game format, but one college student managed to outdo Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks to win a six-figure prize Sunday.

Jaren Barajas, a freshman at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, Calif., went up against Lillard in the MrBeast $100,000 Challenge.

During the timed compeтιтion that was capped at three minutes, Lillard, an eight-time All-Star, hit a pair of sH๏τs from the logo, but Barajas then banked one in with less than 30 seconds remaining on the clock.

It led to an emotional reaction from Barajas, as well as TNT broadcasters Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith, who hugged the teeneager, who was then carried around by NBA mascots and dumped into a box of cash and covered with bank notes.
