If NBA fans needed a primer on the importance of Kyle Lowry, they got it in Sunday’s all-star game.

Kyle Lowry is unique and relentless, and few players know how to seize the moment quite the way he does.

He has been the soul of the Raptors for years and fans that watch him closely know it. They see the charges taken, the shots made, the plays seemingly out of nowhere that can only come with an innate understanding of moments in a game. It’s old hat.

But to the larger audience, the casual fan who doesn’t pay rapt attention to the goings-on in Toronto, what they saw in Sunday’s all-star game was like a compilation of Lowry’s greatest hits.
