Kyle Lowry became Toronto’s all-time franchise leader in assists on Tuesday. Roughly 48 hours later, he was named an All-Star for the sixth time.
“It’s always special to be an All-Star,” Lowry said. “I’m always humbled and always honoured to be able to step in front of these great fans, and the coaches showing the respect that they have for me, these coaches are some of the best coaches in the world, they are the best coaches in the world. For them to pick me, to represent our league as an All-Star, it means tremendous amounts and it’s hard to conjure up words [of appreciation].
