Like most of us, Shan Panjwani remembers it like it was yesterday. Watching with bated breath alongside the family that got him addicted to sports, at his local AllStar Wings and Ribs, 4.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers. Four […]
There’s no way around it, being stripped of watching these Toronto Raptors has been rough. Kyle Lowry leading from the front playing at an All-NBA level, Pascal Siakam making the transition from MIP to The Guy, Fred VanVleet and Serge Ibaka making noise in a contract year, the list is truly endless. No one expected […]
Peace hockey—basketball may be Canada’s new national sport. First of all: We kinda invented the game. Also, even though we’re already halfway through the 2019/2020 NBA season, we’re still low-key celebrating the country’s only NBA basketball team championship (you know, when the Raps beat Golden State last year). Plus, after that championship, the Toronto Raptors surpassed […]
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has earned his spot in the Toronto Raptors’ rotation this season with his relentless grit and knack for chasing down loose balls. So it should come as no surprise that he puts that same amount of hustle into hunting down loose pocketbooks. Early Saturday morning, the day after his 10-point, four-rebound performance in the Raptors’ win over […]
For Canadian NBA fans, there’s no shortage of reasons to get excited about this weekend’s 69th annual All-Star Game in Chicago. For starters, All-Star Saturday Night is a consistently more enjoyable February holiday than Valentine’s Day. (Come @ me, bro.) There’s more, of course—like Pascal Siakam getting picked to run with the big dogs as […]
Kenny Smith has weighed on the Gayle King‘s controversy regarding Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash less than two weeks ago in Calabasas. During a sit-down with Lisa Leslie this week on CBS, King asked the WNBA legend if Bryant’s 2003 rape case “complicated” his legacy. Leslie defended Bryant and said “the media should be more respectful at this […]
Sunday, Feb. 9 will mark two weeks since the untimely passing of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others in a helicopter accident in Calabasas, California. The passing left the sports world, and millions of others from all walks of life, stunned. Social media tributes have been endless. The Los Angeles Lakers […]
Conor McGregor made his return to UFC Saturday night as he faced Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246. McGregor, whose last bout was in October 2018 against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, made quick work of Cerrone. He beat him in 40 seconds. McGregor bloodied Cerrone with a shoulder strike immediately […]
Although fighting in the NHL has been on a steady decline for years (sorry, Don Cherry), the recent drama surrounding the Battle of Alberta has put it back on the map—at least temporarily. With Edmonton Oilers’ winger Zack Kassian suspended two games for his now-infamous rag-dolling of the Calgary Flames’ Matthew Tkachuk, we’re reminded of […]
There are basketball fans, and then there’s David Delooper. Delooper, along with his pal (and freelance photographer/filmmaker) Colin Kerrigan, are taking a love of hoops to new heights with an ambitious project that has them hitting 30 cities in 30 days to land on each team’s jumbotron. “To me, this trip has been a once-in-a-lifetime […]
