Comedic stylings of Raptors' DeRozan, Lowry know no end

Comedy routines in the bowels of British arenas. Amusing compliments regarding body odor after games. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors are a pretty fun pair of friends, as evidenced again Thursday after Lowry's final successful push to be voted in as a starter at the NBA All-Star Game on their home court.

What is age but a number? Derrick Rose also called his backcourt mate Jimmy Butler, 11 months his junior, "a young guy."

Those two don't appear to be as close as these two, however.

Now, it's just up to the powers that be to make sure DeRozan is named an Eastern Conference reserve next week.
