Two for the Six: DeMar DeRozan joins Kyle Lowry in NBA All-Star Game

Two for the Six: DeMar DeRozan joins Kyle Lowry in NBA All-Star Game

For the first time since 2001, the Toronto Raptors will send two players to the NBA All-Star Game.

DeMar DeRozan was added to the Eastern Conference All-Star roster as a reserve for the second time in his career, and will join Kyle Lowry in representing the Raptors during Sunday's game.

The last pair of Raptors to play in the same All-Star Game were Vince Carter and Antonio Davis. Both started the game; Carter had 16 points while Davis chipped in 8 points and 9 boards.

With DeRozan on the East squad, Toronto is now the first host since the '72 Lakers to have two guards playing in the same All-Star Game.

But more importantly, how could you say no to one of the best bromances in the league?

Joining DeRozan on the East reserves are Jimmy Butler, John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Paul Millsap, Chris Bosh and Andre Drummond.

Rounding out the Western All-Stars are Chris Paul, James Harden, Klay Thompson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.

The NBA All-Star Game will be played at the Air Canada Centre on February 14th.
