This weekend, many very important people (Drake, et. al.) are going to be walking around Toronto and looking at tall people throw round bouncies at taller baskets and I guess it is kind of a big deal. (JK, I know how basketball works. I for sure played it once in the seventh grade.)
And while I have been studying up on what to say if I encounter a basketball player out and about in Toronto, it is pretty unlikely that I will get to any of the main-- or not at all main--events. To celebrate the very first time this heightened event has been held outside of the US, you could:
1. Spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on StubHub to secure a ticket to the main event.
OR if you can't afford that/don't care/don't have cable/live far away from the Air Canada Centre
2. You can get the FULL NBA All Star experience* by watching some of the greatest cinematic masterpieces** known to man.
*possible exaggeration
**that are about basketball
Semi-Pro
This movie is classic Will Ferrell nonsense though it is definitely not his best. BUT Woody Harrelson is in this movie too and we have already established that Woody Harrelson is the best.
You know what, just go watch Step Brothers instead. Put on your best Raptors jersey and set up your cardboard cutout of Drake on the couch next to you.
