The NBA regular season is over and done with, and the league’s final week didn’t disappoint in terms of drama, storylines and downright f*ckery (more on that in a bit). The top six teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences can kick their feet up for the week before the playoffs start on Saturday, while […]
As homegrown stars that have played their entire careers in one place, O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet are exceptions to the modern pro-basketball rule. The 25-year-old forward and 28-year-old guard practically grew up in Toronto, which is increasingly rare in a league that seems to shuffle the deck every six months. VanVleet came as an undrafted […]
The Toronto Raptors issued an apology Thursday for their cringeworthy video acknowledging Women’s History Month. The clip begins with a prompt reading, “Beyoncé said girls run the world. Why do you think that’s true?” Malachi Flynn got the players’ responses off to a rocky start by stating “they the only one that can procreate.” It didn’t get much better with Precious […]
Tier Zero was founded by a group of friends from Toronto in 2017. Charlie Lindsay, Due Pinlac, and Jamal Burger were each navigating through the Toronto creative industry as freelance photographers and videographers, getting jobs individually and working on projects with bigtime brands but ultimately feeling like they wanted something more: to prioritize their own […]
The Toronto Raptors are staying ahead of the game at their OVO Athletic Centre with a new high-tech analytics board to help players with data and stats in real time. The board is massive. It takes up the entire wall at their practice facility at nearly 37 metres long. The screen is also the first of its kind across […]
In Dec. 2021, Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet announced an eponymous scholarship to assist Black or Indigenous students through their four-year undergrad at the University of Toronto. Today, he met with the Fred VanVleet Scholarship’s first recipient, Abdullahi, to discuss his upcoming studies and his life outside of school. “I was just feeling excited, overwhelmed, but […]
Spanish basketball player Juancho Hernangomez, fresh off of his role as Bo Cruz in Adam Sandler’s Netflix film Hustle, has reportedly signed with the Toronto Raptors. According to the Toronto Star, Hernangomez will sign a “partially guaranteed one-year deal with the team that will give him a chance to earn a spot at training camp in the fall.” […]
When Nick Nurse isn’t coaching the Raptors, it’s safe to say you can probably find him engaging in one of his musical pursuits. From raising money for charity during his foundation’s “An Evening of Music” event or rocking out with the Arkells, Nurse knows how to stay busy even when he’s off the basketball court. Now […]
When Kyle Lowry was traded to the Miami Heat last year, Toronto was never able to give the Raptors legend a proper sendoff. Due to both the 2020 bubble and last year’s decision to have the Raptors finish their season in Tampa because of ongoing border restrictions, his return to Toronto only came last night. […]
