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
High School Musical
I can’t responsibly make a list of basketball movies and not include the classic ZEfron origin story. I can’t and I won’t. I will be over here singing along and calling everyone I know ˜wildcat.’
Honourable mention goes to 17 Again which is more important for it’s excellent makeover montage than it’s basketball related content. Drake WISHES he had ZEfron’s leather jacket game.
