    A good article by Grange. Heartbreaking to read, especially right off the top as a father of two kids. Nothing really scarier than the fear of something happening to your kids you can’t control.

    Fuck man … that’s brutal

    No parent should have to bury their child

    You could tell he left everything on the court against Denver. I wonder if he was playing that game for his brother

    “All of Canada will watch, hearts full, knowing that for one of Canada’s most prominent basketball families, no triumph will erase the pain.”

    This is exactly how I’ll feel this year watching the Raptors and team Canada for the rest of 2024. What a beautiful piece by Grange, spoken from the eyes of a father.

    Life is short, let’s all be reminded to always show love to those who mean everything to us.

    Condolences to RJ and the Barrett family.
    I will always admire the level of dedication and professionalism RJ displayed these past few weeks, knowing now what he was going through. You are one hell of a dawg and Nathan would be proud.
