1. Was also the coldest weekend in forever in Toronto.

2. The 2016 All Star Weekend was a success all around, but it was also supposed to be our pitch to other players that we are a basketball city and they should sign and come play for the Raptors

   Instead it was cold as hell, and I believe it hampered us from getting any free agents to sign with us. Just unfortunate timing as I remember it not being super cold the weeks before all star weekend

3. Was cold af, but also one of the most fun weekends in the city.

4. My and the wife was about to go to a party downtown during that weekend. I opened the door and we looked at each other and were like nope!

5. I legitimately was in the hospital for hypothermia that weekend. I couldn’t believe how cold it was sheesh

6. Aaron Gordon won that dunk contest over Lavine. 

7. That dunk competition was one of the best ever. Was very blessed to go that night.

8. Whenever a dunk contest sucks I just go watch this one and a select couple others. Won’t ever get old to me personally.

9. Damn! This was 10 years ago?

10. That was a spectacular weekend for me, so many events

11. I was there, and it was my favorite sports event I’ve attended. Absolutely amazing.

    Legendary link up, “Toronto with me that’s mayor shit” indeed

13. Not as iconic as Jordan or Vince’s years, but quality of dunks and competition level that was the best dunk contest ever.

14. Best all star weekend ever and I swear I’m not being biased

15. Lowry taking a charge in the All Star game was epic, the team was fired up and actually playing hard….. for a few minutes after at least.

16. Gordon robbed
