DeRozan, Lowry & Masai Ujiri Join in Surprise for Autistic Dancing Barista

An autistic 17-year old got a surprise from Ellen DeGeneres with the help of the Toronto Raptors. Sam, who is a dancing barista with autism at a Starbucks in Toronto was featured on today's Ellen show to share his inspirational story. Sam had always had dreams of being a barista and had the opportunity to make that dream come true when his boss Chris had helped employ the 17-year old.

Ellen had a few surprises for Sam that included a trip to Japan and also a surprise for Chris from the Raptors All-Stars Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and GM Masai Ujiri.  Shoutouts to Ellen and the Toronto Raptors for such a nice gesture to two good people!

Morris Peterson & Vince Carter reunited

As the Memphis Grizzlies paid a visit to Toronto on Sunday night, it was also the return of former Toronto Raptor, Vince Carter. TSN analyst and former Raptor, Morris Peterson got a chance to reunite with his former teammate before the game. In case you didn't remember, these two had a bit of an altercation/friendly slap in a Nets-Raptors playoff matchup back in 05-06.

The Ultimate Vince Carter Mixtape

Today, the NBA released the Ultimate Raptors Vince Carter Mixtape on their YouTube channel highlighting VC's freakish dunking ability during his tenure as a Toronto Raptor. We've all seen the dunks before but the NBA packed it all nicely into one 4.5 minute highlight pack.

With the NBA All-Star Weekend coming up in Toronto, it will be interesting to see if Vince is involved in the All-Star festivities - - possibly as a judge in the dunk contest? We'll soon find out.

Anyhow, enjoy the 4:39 of dunking goodness.
