The defending NBA champion Toronto Raptors begin their quest to repeat on Monday. They finished 7-1 after the 2019-20 season resumed, and in beating the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat early on, made a statement that they very much deserve to be in the thick of the conversation to win it all with the Lakers, […]
With his gangly frame he strides forward, moving swiftly ahead of one defender, then another. Opponents aren’t devoting the attention they should because they still don’t know. But now he’s running through the middle that is his meadow, and what ensues is a monster dunk that reverberates his team just as much as the rim. […]
All it took was one week of the NBA returning to feel the full brunt of what has become a staple of Raptors basketball consumption.

Anybody who’s been paying attention to Toronto’s R&B scene lately knows the city’s got so much more talent to offer than just The Weeknd. Even if—OK, yes—Abel still casts a pretty sizable shadow.

Kia Nurse, a guard for the WNBA’s New York Liberty, is at home on the court. The Hamilton, Ontario-born athlete has been playing ball since she was just four years old. And while the days of toddling around beneath the net are long behind her, sport has always been deeply embedded in her life. Nurse […]
Black Atlass was planning to spend all summer touring Europe with The Weeknd, but COVID-19 had a slightly different agenda. Forced into semi-permanent lockdown like the rest of us during this global pandemic, XO Records’ latest signee has had no choice but to shelve most of the promo schedule for Dream Awake, his excellent third […]
