5 best NBA players EVER from Canada 

Tristan Thompson and Andrew Wiggins

#4 Jamaal Magloire

Toronto Raptors v Atlanta Hawks
#21 Jamaal Magloire

Jamaal Magloire was a handy rotation player in the league. That quality allowed him to hang around the league for 12 years playing for as many as seven teams in that time span - Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets and the Toronto Raptors.

His lone All-Star game appearance came in 2004 as a member of the Hornets. In the exhibition game, he scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 21 minutes of action. Being selected made him the second Canadian ever to make it to the All-Star (narrowly missed out on being first). He was the first Canadian-born player to play in the All-Star game.

He ended his career after a one-year stint with the Toronto Raptors (2011-12), making him the first Canadian-born player to play for the franchise. From 2013-16, he was the assistant coach for the franchise and is currently a part of the team's player development team.
