The CN Tower, known colloquially among American millenials as "the Drake Tower," is a magnificent piece of architecture made all the more better by cool people being on top of it.

Enter Cavaliers big man Tristan Thompson, who took the Larry O'Brien Trophy to the top of the structure this week.

Decent views? Decent views.

Thompson's day with Larry also included a stop by Tim Horton's — an homage to Sidney Crosby's Tim Horton's run with the Stanley Cup.

Crosby knew the deal.

The rest of the day seemed like a dream come true for the city as much as it was for Thompson.
