Share Love! Andrew Nembhard is a rising young Canadian Basketball Star! Salute Aurora’s Native Son!!
good morning Raptor Freaks like Hots here saturday morning we’re doing Saturday share the love club as we always do in the offseason on Saturdays we’re sharing the love for an individual on this day and today I’ve chosen Aurora Ontario Canada’s own Andrew Nebard that’s right andrew Nebard is a young 25-year-old star in the NBA from Aurora who’s also does play for the Indiana Pacers who’s in the finals right now and also plays for team Canada players the Maple Leaf at the Olympics Paris Olympics last year and going forward this guy’s going to probably be one of the main players of our team Canada team for years to come and uh you know I just wanted to share the love for Andrew because he’s grown so fast in the NBA he represents our can country of Canada well and uh this final series he has been absolutely a key piece to get the Pacers to the seventh game of the finals they don’t get here without Andrew Nebard slowing down his good friend Shay Gilis Alexander and uh making it hard on him to just do whatever he wants to do on the court you know SGA is a very very powerful player and he has that like that where he can just do whatever he wants on the court but in some ways he has been stymied he has been less effective and he has not been absolutely controlling games and it’s because of Andrew andrew really has been a great foil for Shay Gilis Alexander to an extent in this series and I’ll say this right now without Andrew Nebart and his familiarity with SGA and his ability to cover SGA better than most people in this whole entire NBA the Pacers aren’t in game seven like this they are not no they’re not it was absolutely crucial that Rick Carile unleashed Andrew Nebart and gave him that assignment against one of his best friends Gilgis Alexander that is what has gotten there andrew of course started his college career with the Florida Gator and then he uh opted for the draft but then he opted back out of the draft and came back and then he went to Gonzaga and played for the Gonzaga Bulldogs and yeah Andrews uh only this is his third season in the NBA and he’s in the finals in his third season that sounds like Seakum doesn’t it yeah that’s the same thing with Seakum siak was in his third season he got to the finals same thing so yeah it’s very cool and interesting to see uh a young great Canadian like Andrew Nebart succeed so I want to hear the love for Andrew Nebart of Aurora Ontario and uh a native son of our province here in Ontario and um you know just tell me what you like about Andrew let’s praise him let’s share the love for Andrew Nebard and his success this year and just in general as a young Canadian rising star and the possibilities in the future and the amazing things that can come that’s right there’s some really good stuff on the horizon for team Canada senior men’s basketball including uh just team Canada basketball in general but yeah but the senior men’s team in particular that’s right mike is in first look at that logical Raptor fanatics coming and hanging out with us this morning mike I hope you’ve been keeping up with your WNBA fantasy team it seems like you’re doing pretty good you got a you got a some wins now but yeah I hope you’re keeping up with your team ted to it like a garden and check on it every day uh he’s saying you should check the Yogi Stewart interview so interesting yeah you know u Yogi Stewart is an interesting former Raptor we haven’t talked about him a whole lot on this channel but he’s somebody I remember very well because he played for the Raptors when I was working in the arena and uh he was around that headband era the headband up on top of the trophy that’s one of those classic purple headbands that Vince and uh Dell and JYD and uh Mopit all wore during the playoffs that one year but yeah Yogi Stewart Michael Stewart underrated kind of like forgotten Raptors legend in some ways he was a very much a powerful power forward that used a lot of strength maybe well more well known for Sacramento days than Toronto days but there were Toronto days in his life for sure for sure a classic real one yeah I see he’s a classic real one maybe I should have done some classic Jurassic trivia on him at some point maybe he’ll get his own trivia day one day or we do Michael Yogi Stewart uh classic Jurassic trivia on a Tuesday sometime maybe i mean y’all keep you bring this up this will happen this might happen next Tuesday actually maybe people study on it no I might not do it right away but you know what sounds like we got to do Yogi Stewart Classic Jurassic uh Trevor’s here good to see Trevor a satisfied life is better than a successful life because our success is measured by others but our satisfaction is measured by our own soul mind and heart i love this word of wisdom right here i’m gonna give Trevor a dunk right here man because this is awesome this is a really important distinction you know what is success and what is satisfaction they’re two totally different things and in some ways you know you you can have both maybe you can get both sure it may be difficult though in some ways you don’t want to put so much power in other people’s eyes on your life and saying “Oh they deem whether I’m a success or not.” Whatever you know in some ways it’s about what he’s saying here is about are you satisfied with your life are you happy with your life because that ultimately is the only thing that matters and honestly your parameters for what you feel satisfied about are what you set for yourself and they don’t have to be distinguished or altered or uh criticized by anybody around you you just you you it’s you if this is what you need and this is what you like and you’re happy nobody else has to question it or understand it and that’s what it is right there thank you Trevor J for uh really really really wise uh words of wisdom that are you know something that everybody should kind of think about in their life right now about what this is exactly what he’s saying uh James is saying “Good morning James good to see Raptor Freak James can we scout Ryan Nebard his brother this is a fantastic idea James i’m gonna give you a dunk for this.” Of course we should go look at Ryan Nebard right now on Andrew Nebart’s share the love club day of course and this is very uh valid because Ryan Nebhart has come to OVO center in the last two weeks and worked out for the Raptors so there is a very high chance that he could get drafted by the Raptors i see that you’re saying in one of the comments could he be a target for the 39th pick well let’s go look at him i really haven’t looked at Ryan that much i know that he is 22 and that he is uh the younger brother of Andrew and uh he’s coming out of school out of uh Gonzaga i believe that’s he also went to Gonzaga and uh he is six foot now andrew Nebart is 6’5 but Ryan Nebart is six foot and he is a true point guard uh 180 is his weight and well this is the other thing that’s interesting about Ryan Nebart ryan Nebhart played at Mount Verd and he actually was on teams with Precious Cade Cunningham Dron Sharp Moses Moody Caleb Houston Jaylen Duran Langston Love and yeah number four Scotty Barnes so in some ways uh Ryan is friends with Scotty already from high school and uh yeah this is a he was playing with Scott in high school so this could be very interesting if uh he ends up coming to the Raptors as a a prior uh uh relationship with Scott so let me go look at it on YouTube we’ll get a Ryan Nebard uh highlight up real quick for James james is always uh asking for great requests to scout and I appreciate you James appreciate you James for bringing this up today let’s go look at Ryan Nebard and I’ll give you guys my first my feel for him all right this is the scout scouting highlights so this is actually for him it off the the music let’s see what’s up all right so there’s an outside shot little hop bunny shot on the outside shot let’s see this is him driving he goes right at the defender pushes him into the lane and makes a nice strong layup with his uh Yeah he’s got He gets up there he’s got some hops he is a little short i can tell that he’s going to be a little undersized at the NBA level but let’s see there’s a nice three-point stroke his stroke is is a little similar to his brothers a little bit similar uh but yeah he’s a very um driving kind of player like he’s very he’ll get in that lane it’ll come right at him he’s a nice set shooter he has interesting uh way he sets his feet he has them kind of like in front of each other like it’s like kind of he steps forward with one foot his right foot and he shoots with his left foot behind him which is interesting now he There you go he’s going into empty space and there’s a nice steel he got his hand in there and he stolen it went back the other way that’s something very reminiscent of his older brother Andrew yeah i don’t know man it looks like to me that Ryan Ebard may have some proclivities like his brother but I’m really worried about his frame and how tall he is and uh he may be a borderline NBA player and uh it could very well be he’s a GLeague uh and part-time NBA is what I’m seeing now picking him at 39 is that a stretch i don’t know i don’t know in some ways like we want to pick somebody that’s going to grow like shed and I mean if Bobby Msai see Ryan Nebart becoming more and more of a a true NBA player that can be developed into uh I would say they may make a take a flyer on him obviously Bobby said on the W Hello and welcome podcast recently that they do value having Canadian content on our team and and Ryan Nebart would fit that bill as far as checking that box for having another Canadian person on our team but I don’t know there’s a nice little dribble into the defender and bounce him off and stop on a dime and make make a three i like that a lot of the highlights I’m seeing on his highlight reel are three-point shots so he’s uh he’s shooting a lot of threes that’s for sure there’s a nice little fake around the screen and uh taking it with the defender just coming too late yeah he’s got an interesting like jab step where he uh uh gets the defender back and then he steps back and takes the shot with some room so yeah he’s an interesting player i worry about his size i really do worry that six foot is just not tall enough to play in this league unless you’re really really special in some ways um but uh the the fact that he is a Nebard and that he may play a bit like his brother i mean some of it is intangibles with Andrew as far as grit determination and compete and uh those kind of things are already in the young Andrew Nebard so I wonder how much of that would be in the young Ryan Nebard so yeah I don’t know i I in some ways I would say he’s I’m not high on him mainly because I know that the size may be an issue in the NBA is that that’s it but uh you know I could also see this I don’t know if Ryan Nebart will get drafted guys you know I don’t know what if he’ll actually get drafted so it could very well be that Ryan Nebart could be a a flyer on undrafted kind of like Jameson Battle or Fred Vanble Bleet so I could see that you know let me see if he’s on the the ranking they got the top 100 prospects for the draft on ESPN this morning this was just posted by Jonathan Goveni at uh 8:00 this morning just came out this morning they came out with a ranking yesterday which was weird and we looked at it but yeah they came out with this one let me just see if Ryan’s on here and what what number he’s at there’s some interesting stuff that shifted around on here that’s for sure um let me see brian Nebard is he on this list there he is at 59 they’ve got him as the 59th best prospect according to Gavini 59 so yeah it’d be something like either he’s picked at 39 because it really feels solid on him or he’s left after the draft and the Raptors come around and dra uh grab him as an undrafted i think that that’s maybe more likely uh but his workout went really well here in Toronto we’ll have to see uh what Bobby and Messiah thought and if they do pick him up but thank you James for the scout of the day he has some great outside shooting he has some steparounds for getting around people to make shots uh I wonder how much of a true point guard he is i didn’t see a lot of assist highlights on there and then I also wonder about his size once again his size uh Trevor saying that Atlanta beat Washington Dallas beat Connecticut and Seattle beat Las Vegas in WNBA action last night yeah I’m getting my butt kicked by Trucker Cass in our fantasy league and uh yeah he’s got over 100 point lead on me with only two days left in this week and I’m really sweating it i think my undefeated streak is going to be over soon and I might be catching my first L of the year to Trucker Cass this is really interesting james is losing to Fiery uh MK is beating Edmund logical Raptors fanatic is winning against Kareem and Coolcat has a slight lead very slight lead over JP at this point reese’s Nieces is coming back right now yeah yeah uh let’s see mike is here it’s fun to see Mike in this chat this morning he’s saying Yogi Stewart said the place every player likes is Toronto because it’s clean like New York it’s It’s a clean New York without the rats and the trash and the smell cuz New York and Manhattan are built on garbage true story okay all right a little diss on New York City just for a sec Mike all right you want to say that you know I’ve seen rats in downtown Toronto too i’ve seen garbage there too but maybe it’s not on the same prevalence and level as maybe New York City so yeah that I listened to that interview i did actually listen to it before I came on this morning and I put it on hyper time and yeah Yogi had a lot of nice things to say about Toronto talking about Doug Christie talking about Vince Carter talking about LeBron and things like that yogi Stewart is an interview with the Drive guys or something like that out of Sacramento yeah he’s he’s an interesting guy yogi’s very well spoken and uh yeah I remember that era when Yogi was on our team because I was there in the arena i I was working for the Raptors at that time and um I remember seeing Yogi down there on the court all the time working out and playing beh practicing before the game that’s right uh FY is here good morning fam and happy Saturday good morning to you MJ i hope you’re having a great weekend i hope FY Jr is having a nice summer as of yesterday summer solstice last night the longest day of the year yesterday and today Indigenous People’s Day that’s right and I want to celebrate that with the Raptors the Toronto Tempo the Raptors 905 everybody else is celebrating and making uh marking indigenous uh indigenous people’s day right that’s what it is yeah that’s fantastic this is important day there’s going to be a lot of like celebrations and events going on i feel like people need to embrace indigenous roots indigenous science indigenous ways and respect indigenous ways more and more this is actually one of the best ways we can fight the evil powers in the world today is to go back to the way it’s supposed to be the natural way the way the people that lived here way before uh the settlers or explorers or colonizers came and uh you know this is the thing you know it’s never too late in some ways we can try and figure out how to live in more harmony with nature the land the animals the plants and the trees and our our friends indigenous people they know the way they know the knowledge and we need to stop being so proud and arrogant and full of capitalism and worrying about money so much and get back to the roots of what man’s creation and relationship is with nature and that is one of the biggest things about indigenous uh rights and subjects is in some ways they are protecting the 91% untouched forest here in Canada that you know we are should be very proud of honestly in today’s world of degradation the fact that Canada has done such a good job protecting its environment is a real accomplishment and we need to continue to do this and indigenous people are at the forefront at the front lines protecting our lands and more and more I’m ready to get out there with them and uh stand with them and I think that more of us should seriously in some ways this have been a marginalized community for way too long but they need to have more preeminence in my opinion more preeminence in politics and leadership and more preeminence and teaching their ways and uh people learning them and using them and in some ways I want to learn more about indigenous science at this point because I’m growing a lot more and it’d be smart to understand man’s relationship with plants and nature to be able to you know uh have a good symbiosis and life living in partnership and uh you know harmony with those things i’m just telling you man that’s happy indigenous people’s day everybody and I hope you maybe you’re going to an event today to celebrate it somewhere there’s a lot of stuff going on today and it’s a beautiful day outside so you maybe you should maybe you should that’s right fire saucy here fire saucy fire saucy fire saucy fire saucy no why you want fire saucy wait that doesn’t make no sense tristan Trey here he’s retracted his messages maybe possibly because they’re political i don’t know mike is saying big facts the team Canada and Ontario Ball has Nebhar the best point to guard Shay yeah yeah i mean they know each other they’re friends i mean I’ve seen the clip from Team Canada practice where Shay Gildas Alexander sitting with Andrew he’s got his arm around him he said the best player in the league is Andrew Near he’s like joking around because everybody’s trying to say Shay Gildas Alexander is the best player in the NBA and he is because he’s the MVP but he was you know goofy and he’s like you know no Andrew Andrew is the best player in the NBA you know and this is these are good friends and you know there’s some truth to SGA saying that because he may be one of the few guys like I said that can slow down Shay seriously he may be one of the few guys in this league and it like I said it’s a special formula it’s because he knows him so in some ways the aura and the scariness of SGA is not there andrew Nebart is not afraid of Sheay Gilis Alexander because he knows them personally and he knows he’s goofy and that he’s powled around with them so there’s no mystique of like yeah this guy is scary like Michael Jordan no it’s nothing like that and then you know once again they’re physically very similar men and uh there some of their traits and strengths and weaknesses are similar so it’s like Andrew can keep up with him and he’s got the same kind of length with his arms and his body that he really can be his shadow and that it’s it’s one of the worst possible finals matchups for SGA uh as far as all the Eastern Conference teams that he could have faced in the finals the Indiana Pacers with Andrew Nebar to guard him is not ideal for Gilg Alexander i’m just saying is not an ideal matchup for him in some ways right there man i might say maybe don’t Dort can uh be be do better based on OKC’s practice the the thing with Dort is he’s been very effective also in the reverse on Hallebertton there’s a big reason why Hallebertton’s been hurt dorture chamber hello the physicalness of Lugett’s Dort of Montreal riding you and pounding you and shadowing you and just being there and just doing what he does we know what Lou does he’s dirty in some ways he’s very very dirty but hey I don’t mind it he plays for Canada and in some ways like yeah he’s worn down Tyrese like you know that’s been the assignment for Lugett is Tyrese Hallebert yeah put him in the chamber is what they said mark Dagnel said “Yeah put him in the chamber Lugett.” Yeah go get some Lugett and yeah he’s done that pretty effectively to some extent it’s really Hallebertton when he gets loose he maybe can make a little pass in the lane where he’s a little bit got more space or he’s somehow getting a a bit of room outside and he’s taking a extended three NBA three-point shot which is almost close to half court or logo and that’s the only way he’s getting any breathing room because uh Lugett is out there getting in his face you know what I’m saying but yeah he’s been a factor for Hallebertton for sure he has yeah fy saying great words of wisdom from Trevor J i know don’t live your life for others live your life for yourself and your own satisfaction that’s what you do right there that’s that’s a key to happiness right there mike’s saying Ryhorn from Prow Islands rhino Rhino ryhorn Ryhorn from Prow Islands ry Ry from Pearl Islands are you talking about Survivor here man what are you talking about uh Mike saying “Great Bobby interview.” Yeah good job uh William Louu and Alex Wong for your interview last Saturday around this time it was about two o’clock last week at Holt Renfruit they had that interview with Bobby Webster and Bobby Webster illuminated more about the Toronto front office and answered a lot of questions in fact he said you know he he said a couple things in that interview that come out more true in the last day or so about Yaka Purle he said in that interview with Alex and uh uh William that uh Yaka Purle is becoming one of the top 10 centers in the league now if a GM says that glowingly in a you know not solicited about his center you think he’s trying to trade him no and that’s why it’s funny it’s like they have publicly come out and said “Yeah YaKob’s not going to be involved in any Kevin Durant trade y’all.” No yakob isn’t even in in in a deal or anything like the fans may some of them may want to trade YaKob maybe some of the usurpers the sheeps and the wolves and sheep clothing that come to Raptors Nation and act like they’re Raptors fans but they don’t like YaKob being on this team they’ve done this action to Pascal they’ve done this action to OG they’ve done this action to Fred why wouldn’t they do it to to uh Yaka Pearl they do it to R.J anybody on our team they don’t like being on our team they start trying to make little trade rumors and stupid [ __ ] they realized these guys are guys that help us win and that’s the whole secret of it all the Fred Ban Vleet noise was partly because Fred Ban Vleet helps us win all the RJ Barrett noise right now is partly because R.J helps us win yaka Purle obviously helps us win so our haters are going to come into our fan nation and start telling soft-minded Raptors nation to hate Yaka Purle because he doesn’t shoot threes and want to get him traded meanwhile our GM saying he’s the top 10 center in the league and he’s off the table and our fans don’t get the memo because they listen to idiots that don’t want good things for our team i would say listen to Bobby Webster listen to Msajiri listen to me and start wanting good things for our team instead of listening to jackasses from the United States Bleacher Report ESPN telling you how to think Raptors Nation why do you listen to the US media they know nothing about us and they don’t want anything good for us so yeah stop this it’s stupid in fact Graange is speculating that an extension for Yaka Purle may be coming very soon uh from the Raptors uh very very soon locking him down past his player option for next year so there you go there you go you guys can want what you want but you know what the guys who are in charge they’re smart and they know how to build this team right and Yaka Purle is an essential uh ingredient as a very important position called center that is important in the NBA and that’s why you should respect that that’s right there you go boom a dynamite nameless is here we got our Pisano in the house we got the This is the weekend crew y’all we got Nameless in and we got Mike in which is you know it’s fun it’s nice to have uh different people on different days here and there and it’s so good to see you Nameless i hope that you’ve been uh staying clean living and good living and good living life and living life right in summertime and Canada that’s right my paisano dab to you dab to you ola that’s right that’s right let’s see mike is saying uh investig interesting Bobby uh about the trade kawaii trade what Mike write English here man what are you writing here in in interress Bobby lured the kawaii trade okay messiah made the final call but Bobby worked that Kawaii deal it’s interesting what was interesting is that how long it took and then like it is kind of interesting what Bobby said when it was finally happening he’s like “Okay we’ve gone this far with talking about it with San Antonio.” He was really smart i like the fact that Bobby and this is the interesting thing is like the guy who traded Kawaii to us was a friend of Bobby’s from before like Bobby worked for Orlando Magic for a little bit he worked for the head office and he was around uh Brian Wright who was the GM of the uh Spurs who traded the with Maui for that and that that deal happened partly because they were young GMs that were friends and uh in some ways like Bobby described it he said “Don’t look to older people around you to help you stay with your cohort and come up together.” And Bobby Webster and Brian Wright came up together and then one of the ways they did it is they made this big huge trade and I think that that relationship between Bobby Webster and Brian Wright was necessary for us to do the Kauaii trade because in some ways the Kawawaii uh was was solicited by many teams and they they all were kind of wanting to get in there and be the opportunist like we were but I that’s the crazy thing is that Bobby Webster had a prior connection to the GM Brian Wright and the other thing that was very interesting about that part in the interview is Bobby said that he waited for Brian to come to him and that is that is really like a Jack Donnie art of negotiation kind of rule you know 30 Rock is like wait for the other person to speak before you speak and you’ll have more leverage and that’s what Bobby did in some ways he knew that they were trying to get rid of Kawhai and they were in a bad place with him and he kind of felt out Brian Wright about you know Toronto being possibly the team but it wasn’t until Brian Wright came to him and said do you guys want to do something with me for Kawaii then Bobby knew he could do something because he knew at that point as he said Brian Wright wanted somebody from the Raptors in return and then he had some power in landing Kawaii and boom 2019 championship so in some ways it’s true you can you can point to yeah Messiah is the leader messiah brought Bobby here but part of the architecture of our championship is directly you know Bobby Webster’s connection to Brian Wright and that’s not necessarily Messiah’s connection to Brian Wright that’s Bobby Webster as a young GM and another young GM being friends from before so it’s very very interesting story how they got Kawhai and they said he said it was like a two-month process they had started talking about the Quai trade in May and that trade happened in like July or something like that so it was two months that they were actually negotiating and figuring it all out and then he said all of a sudden it was done he was like “Well Kawhai can come here now.” And he was like kind of surreal and weird because they had gotten to the point where the deal actually came through you guys got to understand I say this all the time the GMs in this league live on the moon we don’t we don’t understand all the parameters and difficult things that have to go into making a deal work in the NBA everybody thinks you can just snap your fingers and it happens no these things take a while and they also take a lot of sussing out and back and forth and I think it was also interesting that Bobby said that they really had to make sure that the medicals went right yeah yeah they had to make sure and that was something the smart from the Raptors end because Kawhai you know he had been sitting out saying he was hurt but it’s funny because Bobby said that like he re revealed this is so crazy he kind of revealed a lot in this interview he said the San Antonio people called me and told me he wasn’t really hurt he was just sitting out because he was mad at this team and then we weren’t as worried about trading for Leonard because that’s true you make a big deal like that you trade a franchise god and a native a guy who’s just so loyal to your team like Demard Rosen you don’t want to do this frivolously trade him and then you get a dud of a player who’s a lemon who’s hurt and he can’t even play so in some ways you know he had to get that insider knowledge from the Spurs training staff and medical that no Kawhai’s actually not hurt he’s just being a dick to the Spurs he’s not playing because he’s he’s he’s mad at the Spurs you know and he actually admitted that in that interview which is crazy bob Webster said that and I also love all this talk about how he did have to talk through Uncle Dennis to talk to Kawawaii all that stuff was true all that stuff was true right there that’s right that’s right let’s keep going roger Raymond’s here good to see Roger Raymond raptor Freak roger Raymond thank you for supporting the channel i really appreciate you man uh let’s see he’s saying “Good morning uh Raptor Freaks congratulations to Made in Canada Andrew Nebard we’re so proud of you and are rooting for you to prevail tonight to help our own Pascal win his second championship yeah yeah the game will be tomorrow technically but we could say tomorrow night tonight you know that’s fine but yeah I’m excited about game seven game sevens are historical fun things they don’t happen all the time and well the NBA’s happy when they happen in the finals because that means they got seven finals games of revenue yeah let’s speaking of Aurora real quick Roger well let’s do the straight goods on Canadian goods real quick and today I’m taking a focus on one of the biggest Canadian corporations that operates out of Aurora Ontario and that is a company called Magna International magna International makes auto auto parts and they are a manufacturer for automakers and they are a huge huge company and they are based out of Aurora and they’re a Canadian company 68 years and they make a lot of parts for all kinds of cars general Motors Ford BMW Mercedes Volkswagen Toyota yeah and this is a big deal you know it’s nice to have Canadianmade products in places going internationally because it brings more revenue and economy into economy of Canada and that’s fantastic their income uh let’s see how much did they make last year they made $1.2 billion in 2023 crazy and they employ 179,000 people as of 2023 now I don’t know how you support Magna International as far as the parts company maybe you just buy parts i don’t know but either way they’re doing good it’s no about the straight goods on Canadian goods a fantastic huge huge company called Magna Parts magna International is uh founded by Frank Stornack Stronac in 1957 out of his garage y’all so yeah you you can be something and you start in your garage and all of a sudden you got 179,000 employees yeah you did something right you did something right so we’re putting on Blast Magna International a car parts company it’s a little different it’s a little different i don’t know how you support them maybe you go to their plant and say “Hey I need car parts straight from the good straight from y’all can you give them to me on a really good deal?” Yeah straight from no markup from the retailer that’s right let’s go cass is here good morning Lex and Rat Freak crew good morning to you Cass i got to bow down to you right now because you’re beating my ass on the WNBA fantasy you’re doing good man yeah yeah trucker for the win that’s right the trucker Cass is in the house that’s right a good family man uh uh coming off his father Father’s Day weekend last weekend going to see the Ottawa Blackjacks yeah good stuff man there’s a CBL game tomorrow in Scar Bro niagara River Lions at Scar Bro Shooting Stars and man I’m kind of thinking about wanting to go to Panama Center tomorrow to see this game but then again I don’t know my parents are busy so I I could have the time to go down there and do it and it is a two o’clock afternoon game at Panama Center tomorrow i’m not totally sure that there’s other games coming up i’m going to try and get to CBL before this season’s over and the the the games at uh Panama Center for Scar Bro Shooting Stars there’s games right up until uh you know the beginning of August so I’m gonna have to come down there i’m going to go support CBL very soon i gotta get over there man seriously oh we got rats nameless like oh we got rats oh we got rats in Toronto oh we got rats i once saw this is a crazy story i used to live on Queen Street West yeah over in that area of Toronto Spadina in Queen yeah yeah yeah yeah and uh I remember walking down the street one day this is probably like in the early 2000s and um there was somebody walking a rat on a leash yeah the rat was huge it was like this big and it was like this fat and I thought it was a dog at first because it was so big and I was like “Wait a second that is a weird looking dog.” And I looked at it again i was like “Holy sh It looked like an 80s horror rat that would be like in a movie.” Like a huge rat that would jump out of your toilet and bite your ass or something like that it was scary and honestly I’ve seen weird things on Queen Street West before but that may have been one of the weirdest yeah seeing somebody actually walking a rat on a leash in downtown Toronto very very strange very very very very strange not on the same level of rats that they got in New York in Toronto at least we’ll say that not on the same level okay all right trevor saying LeBron was seen in Toronto shopping well he does like Toronto he does he comes to York Yorkville and he does his high-end shopping at the Holt Renfruit at uh Blair Blur and Young you know he’s around he’s around we know LeBron’s often caught sitting and eating with friends at a patio restaurant in that area around Toronto at Yorkville yeah he’s usually seen this time of year right around now that’s right uh Nameless was saying “I embrace indigenous spirituality mostly.” You know I I love the indigenous spirituality because seriously we have to realize we are one with this natural world and we’ve made ourselves so unnatural from that world and poison that world we have so much microlastics in us we have we have so much [ __ ] in our heads from computers and social media and just all kinds of [ __ ] that we just manufactured it’s not even real in the real world the indigenous spiritual world of you know carbon life life forms and things that we are you know are naturally here we made so much extra artificial [ __ ] that occupies our minds it’s crazy one of the things that I’ve learned recently is indigenous science i want to learn more about indigenous science because indigenous science is actually very holistic and some people say it’s kooky and it’s not like real medicine but you’re crazy if you don’t think that this is stuff that they practiced for centuries and centuries and understood how you can use certain plants and certain things to help yourself and you know it’s just because in some ways some of the indigenous science doesn’t go along with the profit making of the white man’s capitalism that you know in some ways if you teach everybody how to grow their own food teach everybody how to take care of themselves well some ways grocery stores and doctors would go out of business that’s the thing indigenous science can make you more self-sufficient and that’s why they don’t want to put it on blast or let you get near it so I I’m actually very curious about possibly taking uh classes in indigenous sciences because I feel like they would be very uh in in informative for me to be a little bit more self-sufficient out here on my home stand you know you know what I’m saying that’s what I’m talking about right there that’s right that’s right mike’s saying Yogi played with a lot of rookies yogi Yeah Yogi played with LeBron i mean there’s you know it’s just that era he was in he was right around the turn of the century and uh you know he is a vet when Vince showed up and he also saw it when uh LeBron came that’s right that’s right that’s true g saying they’re calling Pascal the Thunder yeah this thing with his eyes rolling back in his head just became something different there are literally some people out there that feel like the Indiana Pacers are using dark magic to get this far in the NBA finals because of Siakum in his eye roll oh my gosh some people are so easily uh messed up and some of them are just very fundamentalist Christian that’s who it is they’re like “Oh my god he’s got the demon in him rolling his eyes back in the the prayer circle for the Indiana Pacers before the game.” Nah listen us Raptors fans understand this and we’ve known this for years i’ve seen Seakum roll his eyes back into the back of his head at the national anthems usually is when he’s doing it he’ll be standing there with the lights off and he’ll have his head up and the they’ll be doing the Canadian anthem and his eyes will be rolled in the back of his head and he’s just meditating he’s going in a deep place some people call it dollism that there’s a certain kind of u meditation that he’s doing to get centered and to get in the right place that’s all that is seriously there’s nothing weird about it in some ways all right fine maybe they’ll tell Seiakum you got to close your eyes when you do that man you can’t have your eyes open when you do that you’re freaking people out you’re freaking people out you know the Thunder stuff the all kinds of uh the funny jokes they’re making about him for this some of them are funny some of them are light-hearted but some of them have the fear of God in them as far as this man is satanic this man is a witchcraft this man is uh not godly he’s something different then other people come in and say he was pra he was practicing to become a priest in uh Cameroon he’s a man of God his father wanted him to go into seminary uh you know it’s all dumb it’s just in some ways some people see something that is you know maybe a little weird to them and they run with it in weird ways and uh honestly seriously we can all do that we can all impersonate the Undertaker our bodies are able to do that most of us if you can’t do that with your eyes maybe you had a a superglue incident when you were younger i don’t know maybe that’s why you can’t do that with your eyes but most people can do this oh you know it’s like I’m the Undertaker oh no Lex is possessed now like Seakum look at what we got to you know the spirit has come into me don’t touch TJ McConnell in the prayer circle if you’re gonna be all channeling the demon Pascal no don’t put it in TJ no not TJ tj comes out you know what the Pacers need to show some solidarity for Pascal and I’ll come out with Undertaker eyes tomorrow that’s right yeah you think that we’re you’re gonna make fun of Seakum say the demon is in him we’re we’re coming out we’re all demons this [ __ ] is so overblown this Pascal Seyakum rolling his eyes back in the back of his head slow news day yeah slow news day this is the finals why aren’t y’all talking X’s and O’s y’all talking about Pascal the Thunder this crazy man it’s funny in some ways it’s funny i think it’s hilarious but also at the same time I’m like “This is weird man.” And some people are really scared like in some ways Seakum could use this at his advantage like you know like maybe next time they play Orlando Magic Jonathan Isaac’s cowering in the corner because he’s one of these dumbass fundamentalist Christians that would probably think he’s actually the demon you’re like “Oh no not Seakum i rude this day i brought my holy water and I’ve got my cross get away from me Seakum.” Uh Jonathan [Laughter] that’d be funny seriously lean into it Siako lean into it why not who cares it’s all stupid anyway if you make people scared of you because you roll your eyes back in your head that’s hilarious to me that’s hilarious to me thunder hilarious play on words for Undertaker pretty witty proud of our Canadian players that’s right G that’s right this is good stuff man is so stupid i’ve been reading the comments sections on the Seakum eye rolling thing and people are so dumb let’s just put it that way people are really dumb seriously seriously uh Mike saying “Yeah sackown radio is uh like a classic radio sports talk on YouTube during the working hours they talk about Demar and Doug Christie so I listen.” There you go yeah there’s a lot of bonds between the Raptors and the Kings in recent years of course Jay Triano also Doug Christie former Raptor and now the head coach of the Kings yeah Dear was there jonas has been there this year too so yeah there’s been some linkages between Raptors and uh Kings with D Rozan and Valenunis and Christy and Yeah triano yeah yeah it’s good stuff man it’s good stuff um Mike uh Trevor saying WNBA games today Phoenix versus the Chicago Sky at 1 pm yeah let me go check your refs for today there’s two games today uh Mercury at Sky M Forsber is the crew chief the referees Isaac Barnett and Ashley Gloss will be the umpire and uh Los Angeles Sparks are at Minnesota Lyns the Lyns are running away this season they’ve only lost one game and they are badasses angel Kent is the crew chief claire Aubrey is the referee and the umpire is Binia Maru for the two games in the WNBA today get your WNBA lineup set up i had to do some transactions because I’m trying to catch up with Cass and man it’s I think he’s got this week i think I’m going to have a blemish record and Trucker Cass will be the first to defeat me this week wow wow wow mike’s saying uh pass California expanded pass California okay because of Sacramento what uh Smooth’s here good to see Reggie uh per Mark Stein Raptors have refused to include Yaka Purle in trade for KD willing to take KD on a discount expects the raps to be busy not KD but other options okay Mark Stein is a fairly reputable US source uh in some ways he’s somebody that I’ll half believe of course a lot of times he’s speculative and he’s not really reporting anything he’s just reporting rumors but he can be a reliable source so and this makes sense critical thinking let’s think about it the Raptors have refused to include Yaka Purle in a trade that makes sense raptors fans may be some of them the Raptors nation may be like that doesn’t make any sense no it does the people that know understand that makes sense that the Raptors ain’t including Yaka Pearl in a KD discussion i mean he’s not getting included in any discussion honestly i’ll bet Bobby Webster kind of you know let that be known at the Hello and Welcome podcast you don’t say that you got a top 10 center in the league and then you’re shopping him i’m sorry hello critical thinking logical thinking logical Raptors fanatic exactly it’s like you know you don’t say “Oh we got a a guy.” We really love what YaKob’s done recently he’s grown into becoming a top 10 center in the NBA and then yeah we gonna trade him no we’re gonna get that top 10 center work out of him and he really has grown like last year was his best year ever in his whole entire career and he is he’s fleshing out his game i mean hello he’s going to shoot threes next year y’all i wouldn’t be surprised if he does seriously he’s gonna come back and he’s going to be a three-point shooter all of a sudden fiercely saying “I’m surprised no Raptor media started reporting LeBron will come here because he may not get along with the new Lakers ownership just wait.” Well nobody that makes this kind of [ __ ] makes these kind of rumors i mean you know a rumor about Kyrie Irving started last a couple weeks ago and it’s like you know that that rumor is believable to me that Kyrie would want to leave Dallas and do this and do that now LeBron with the new ownership happening and everything happening what’s going to happen with him and Bronny and Bronny think of Bronny y’all come on we need to think of Bronny in this situation too and uh LeBron well who cares who cares well he can do whatever he wants he’s a free agent he can come back to LA which is most likely or flip the script and do something crazy now coming to Toronto I don’t know why these crazy Raptors Nation people that make rumors up have not brought up LeBron at Toronto yet why not maybe because they’re haters and they don’t want that to ever happen maybe that these people in our Raptors nation that are always making up trade rumors for Scotty and RJ and Yakob are actually haters from the inside that love LeBronto and the concept of LeBronto and they understand if LeBron came to Toronto that would be weird and not what they want in their hearts because they’re [ __ ] actually hate us on the downlook these people that add to the noise so maybe that’s why there’s never been a rumor about LeBron coming to Toronto even though he loves Yorkville he loves Carabana and he loves the Toronto Raptors fans so I was like I don’t know why have we never heard any kind of rumors about LeBron to Toronto we just haven’t we just haven’t because the losers that make these rumors hate that idea and they never promote it that’s what it is right there fy that’s what it is right there mike’s saying yet you said something that made me think about Ryan O ryan O ryan O okay Mike good to see you this morning man good to see you no trading Yakob exactly if you’re see you want to dunk you get a dunk for that no trading Yaka Purle we have one center on our team right now and we need to keep him we need to keep our one center and understand that Raptors fans idiots fy saying they trade Yakob and if he would go do good elsewhere like Pascal they cry and say our front office sucks weird fan base yeah these are the same idiots they’ll call for people to leave and then when they go somewhere else and they do well they’re like why did we trade them you gaslighting little shits yeah yes just stop just stop your whole actions that you’re you’re doing with that just stop that Pat please uh Mike saying YaKob was never leaving we don’t have his backup yeah and he loves it here like like I said in recent stream you know it’s been tough for the Raptors to nail down a good quality center that wants to be here and is here and YaKob is exactly that and uh we need to value that Raptors fans and stop being little dicks and start really valuing the only Austrians ever played in the NBA and seriously we traded him with Demar and he never wanted to be traded from here and he’s come back from San Antonio and he needs to stay here like this he’s happy in Toronto he loves playing for the Raptors and we love him playing for the Raptors and everybody who’s not inside that with us you’re idiots and honestly I once again say I judge you on how well you understand Yaka Purle as a basketball uh knowledgeable person you need to tell me your opinion on Yaka Purle and I’ll analyze whether I should listen to you or not whether you know what you’re [ __ ] talking about that’s what I say to those people that’s right that’s right that’s right never leaving never leaving nah nah not until YaKob or Messiah decides that’s right fishy saying when uh Butler worked out in Toronto two summers ago the media had a field day when Butler Oh Jimmy Butler yeah full names please you can’t do this rul Butler the butler from Clue you talking about Tim Curry when did Tim Curry come to Toronto to work out you’re talking about when Jimmy Butler came to the track at U of was running around on the track and Yeah yeah this the same [ __ ] d’angelo was here last summer everybody thought D’Angelo Russell was coming to Toronto just because he was here in the offseason hanging around in Toronto yeah it’s so stupid anyway Koy saying KD taking too long for a 37 year old player yeah he’s saying he’s working they’re working it out that they’re really waiting till this game’s over tomorrow if you know if the the Thunder had won on Thursday night this trade would have happened you would have heard about KD’s trade already today on Saturday if the Thunder had won game six so they’re just waiting they got to wait for the the game tomorrow and I’m pretty sure you’re going to hear Kevin Durant got traded on Monday i’m pretty sure you’re gonna get that hear that either on Monday or Tuesday that’s right that’s right that’s what you’ll hear uh Mike is saying “Yeah Bobby worked the deal but Messiah made the call but Bobby worked it.” 40 chess plays okay and he say “Oh sorry i dropped my Magna extra-large condom made in Canada.” What what i don’t even know what you’re talking about man uh Magna car parts it’s not Magnum not Magnum Trojan Magnum car condoms is what you’re talking about no this is car parts mike oh my gosh anyway we’ll keep going uh Roger Raymond saying “You got me at soft-minded Raptor supporters.” Yeah soft-minded like be more hard-nosed be for your team and what’s good for it instead of being like “Ah shiny new toy giannis we want Giannis we want Giannis Messiah.” Okay shut up i’ve tried for many years it hasn’t been working you kids you just shut up back there and you get back in the your seat belt i mean that’s how it feels sometimes that there’s a certain percentage of Raptors Nation that’s just whiny little [ __ ] that don’t understand basketball business and thank God we got people that know basketball business that are actually making the decisions and running things thank God yeah yeah and that don’t listen to the fans for the most part they listen to us they won’t listen to most of the Raptors fans no they won’t no they won’t they won’t listen to them no they won’t uh let’s keep going uh let’s see cass is saying “Lex you should go when you have a chance you’re talking about CBL i’m definitely going to go i’m definitely going to go i may go tomorrow but I probably won’t it’s too short of notice but I want to go very soon and actually maybe tomorrow is a good day for me to go because it’s Sunday and it’s a 2 PM start i’d have to do a quick stream tomorrow and get the hell out of here i watch the game in Scar Bro and then I go come back and watch the finals game seven that night it’s a full day it’s a lot of work i’ll be doing two hours stream in the morning going watch the CBL game then watching the finals game and then filming a reaction with King that night that’s a stacked Sunday day of rest my ass for me that’s not a day of rest that I might have to do a full one tomorrow h we’ll see it may be too soon for me to get it together and go tomorrow but there’s opportunities to go to Scar Bro Shooting Stars in the next month or so it may be easier for me to go uh when my folks are heading back to Atlanta is when I should go uh let’s see mike saying “Native beliefs are solid respect mother earth and respect the sky.” Yeah yeah i mean it’s the it’s the true way it’s the real belief you know you guys we can believe in Christianity we can believe in different religions but honestly the connection between nature mother earth that indigenous people understand is actually the true God i’m going to say that right now the true God is in within us with our connection to the trees the insects the birds and the animals and just the living world and um that’s where we’re out of touch with things that you know if you want to be more godly you want to be more with God you go to nature and you get with nature because that’s the true place you know people make false gods fake gods and one of them’s the dollar sign some people have god money in their life and that’s no good god money is not a real god it’s uh pedled by uh cheap televangelists that show up on your TV at 5:00 am on a public access access channel that is not it yeah a lot of the big mega churches that’s not a real one that’s God money no I’ll go with God nature that’s where I’m going to start uh worshiping in my church that’s right that’s right uh let’s see mike saying is getting crazy respect from Halley Doubters it’s It’s nuts well Hal uh Hallebertton has been choking a little bit and Sakum’s been solid the whole time and that’s why if the Pacers win tomorrow I think that Pascal will be hoisting the Finals MVP trophy and he should be that’s right james is saying “Who I got tomorrow?” I’m picking the Pacers and the reason why is because you know they have surpassed all kinds of crazy odds and done crazy things as a team all year long and in some ways they’re show of that pluckucky gritty we’re gonna outwork you and figure out a way to beat you somehow someway and in some ways the Thunder as good as they are and how they ran over the whole entire regular season their playoff team is not as they’re not as good a playoff team as Indiana seriously you got to think about what Indiana’s accomplished so far and the teams they’ve beaten they’ve beaten teams that have way better records than them all along they went through New York and Madison Square Garden they beat the Cavs seriously this is a big deal man and uh Oklahoma City is just like the Cavs except they were in the West and the Cavs from the East and so I would say the experience of Carlile the fact that Seakkum is the most powerful player in the game because he has the most experience at this level and the fact that this team plays their ass off and they are getting after the ball on the floor and playing really really aggressively i wouldn’t be shocked if somehow someway the Pacers win it and it could even be a buzzer beater and it’s very very close right at the end so yeah I’m picking the Pacers i am picking the Pacers i may be wrong and it’s the Thunder Championship tomorrow but I’m gonna pick the Pacers that’s who I picked yeah nameless saying “Ancient African spirituality is fantastic as well.” Well they’re they’re they’re connected in some ways they’re the same they’re just in different locations yeah a lot of it is the same there’s a lot of patterns in early civilizations and early kind of beliefs that are similar and that is not by coincidence that’s because it’s the truth that’s what it is right there that’s because it’s the truth in a lot of the old ways the ways are right that’s right we’ve just confused things with all kinds of distractions like this damn computer is sitting in front of me trevor is saying “So you should be afraid of people who sleep with their eyes open.” You know I used to have a roommate that did this it’s crazy yeah i used to when I used to work at the Velvet Underground on Queen Street West this is around the same era where I saw the rat on a leash i had a roommate named Courtney courtney was a guy uh black guy from the islands and he was a cool dude i like Courtney a lot and he would come to the bar I used to work at the Velvet Underground and he would dance in a very strange way he was like a step dancer and he kind of had no rhythm with the music it was kind of like he was making his own rhythm he’d like step this way and then go off in this direction all of a sudden this way and it was like a goth bar it’s like they’re playing like the cure in Depes Mode and he’s like stepping around and doing all this crazy stuff and sometimes he step into people like aggressively and didn’t mean to but he’s not looking and at one point I look over at Courtney and he’s doing the Thundertaker eyes he’s like on the dance floor and he’s just like stepping around and I don’t know if he’s like on something you know because people are doing stuff or he’s just like in the zone like with his step dancing the way he used to dance there were times when Courtney lived with me he’d fall asleep on the couch he’s my roommate and he would fall asleep with his eyes open like you’re talking about Trevor he was so unsettling so unsettling and I didn’t know if he was asleep at sometimes because he wasn’t making any noise he just be like sitting there with his eyes like this and like and then all of a sudden he go and I’m Oh he is sleeping okay ah he’s not in a demonic trance or something like that but Courtney’s cool wherever you are Courtney right now I wish you well i I don’t even know if you if you’re with us still whatever is going on with my friend Courtney i wish him well god bless him i love him so much he was a good friend and uh yeah he danced weird and he slept with his eyes open like that with his old eyes rolled back it was creepy it was creepy trevor it was very very creepy but Courtney big ups man you were cool man he’s the weirdest dancer I ever seen but he was a legend at the Velvet Underground and a lot of people loved him and knew him very very well very very well uh let’s see uh Mike is saying “Sakum was built in the Messiah era that’s how we draft.” That’s right there you go Mike there you go name was saying “Organized religion is just commercialized spirituality.” Man it’s tough man it’s tough in some ways I like I said I’m going to get more and more into indigenous ways as I get older i have a feeling i really am and I’m I’m really getting to the point where I want to go out there and help them uh as much as I can i want to do it in a respectful way whether it’s getting in front of development like Doug Ford’s trying to do in Ontario yeah i’ll go out there and stand with them between the trees and the bulldozers uh yeah there’s stuff that I need to get more active in in my next chapter of my life and this this is in the direction I’m going right now i have a feeling I’m going to be getting more activism and standing besides indigenous groups especially on today that’s right cass saying “Catch me if you can fantasy Lex.” Yeah man i don’t know if I can Cass seriously I’m trying you got a really good week i think that you stacked your team with players that were playing a lot of games this week in very very smart ways like I think you got a bunch of Mercury players and the Mercury are playing a lot of games this week and that has helped you a lot and you’ve had some big huge games from some of your key players like Skyler skyler is killing me holy crap cass is a good WNBA fantasy player i’m telling you right now man uh Nameless saying Yakob doesn’t even practice with the team y’all it’s beneath him do the math what what are you talking about yakob’s in Austria yakob has successfully done his Vienna camp once again with the kids he’s had Jim S over there working with him staying with him in Austria jim Sand doesn’t mind the European vacations in the offseason as an assistant coach of the Raptors him and his wife get to go to somewhere very nice and hang out very nice European city of Vienna Austria because Yaka Purle our center is from there and he wants to be home in the offseason and Jim S’s gonna be there uh rebounding for him and doing the things that a Raptor assistant coach would do to help him speaking of assistant coaches I figured out something about what was going on with one of them yesterday let me go through the Instagram stories first we got Jared Rhoden he is out somewhere where it’s beautiful man and there’s some mountains and jungles and he’s got a infinity pool and it s it says when the sun goes down it’s the magic hour the magic hour now wherever you are Joe J rhoden uh you are living your best life honestly that looks beautiful that visa scenery that you’re looking out at this morning 30 minutes ago holy cow leo Routton’s words of wisdom as you get older you really just want to be surrounded by good people people that are good for you people good for to you and good for your soul there you go that’s right vibes matter and you want good vibes around you you definitely want good vibes around you good people around you that’s right bruno Fernando is got this on his Instagram uh imagine reading a book with no way to turn back the page how carefully would you read it and that’s life wow that’s deep stuff man i wonder if he’s looking at the page he was on the Raptors last fall and man in some ways he he didn’t stick and he’s I wonder he’s like read that page well enough that he could have stick stuck on the team i don’t know i don’t think he was going to stick on the team either way and in some ways Bruno man I always wish you well one time Raptor Bruno Fernando and what you’re doing internationally with your career now Slim Duck has got highlights of him playing basketball this morning and he’s been kicking some butt man he’s doing some really interesting kind of attacking it’s more off the dribble and going to the basket i wonder if this is his new bag of tricks for this year coming up you know we have seen more flashes of Chris Buchet being a driver and putting the ball on the floor with a dribble and attacking the lane that has not usually been his mo as an NBA player his whole career but I wonder if this is something he’s working on that maybe uh will you know help him with uh getting more time with Darko in our system uh Slim Duck’s also saying trust in God when it doesn’t make sense and that’s what’s happening right now a lot of things to him right now are not making sense he’s putting his faith in God that the next chapter or whatever is going to happen to him this off seasonason and free agency is going to work out for him the right way and I believe that I do the Raptors got Eric Smith on blast of course Eric Smith’s got a new book coming out which is going to be awesome it’s called We the Raptors and I’m really excited about it eric Smith I’m really excited that you put this project together and I want to see what it’s all about ben Bagani is the

Woodley still doing Locked on Raptors or are they switching off back and forth because Vivic Jacob has recently taken over Locked on Raptors it seems like it seems like a lot of the content coming from that channel is coming from Vivic at this point either way Savannah Hamilton I salute you and Locked on Rappers hey you guys are good too but are you every day like me i don’t know i don’t know if you are i don’t know if you’re on locked on like I am are you talking about Vin Bagnani at Basketball Without Borders there you go there’s your Instagram stories for today all right let’s keep going um let’s see uh let’s see mic is saying Purle is legal okay James Spaxs purle should not be in trade talks it’s hard to get a starting caliber center via trade exactly exactly and Raptors fans know no and we know that’s what what it is right there we know they may not know but we know that’s right nameless is saying YaKob comes out with socks above his kneecaps and chills during practice no I’m not I that’s not true you know YaKob Purle may not be working out like Pascal Siaka but let’s not get it twisted this guy’s doing strength training this guy is doing cardio and conditioning because to be a man of his size and frame he has to keep the weight off so he can be light and run up and down the court you know thing about Yakob is he’s been heavier at times in his career he wasn’t as heavy this year as he was some of those years he was in San Antonio and that made him a lot lighter in getting up and down the court and that’s all offseason work and conditioning and getting himself in the right place with his body and uh you know the extra mobility last season really helped think about some of the stuff he was doing that’s out of his wheelhouse like stealing the ball in the back court and running it back and dunking it and uh you know just doing really good things with recovery on defense when somebody gets beat all of a sudden he has the quickness to an extent to cover ground back up and get back there and help on defense so I don’t know man this stuff is important i know you’re joking around but I’m serious yaka works hard and he is doing things in practice and he’s a very good teammate and honestly I I I said it to Scott when we got him i said “You’re gonna love playing with Yaka Purle.” I told him that on Twitch you’re gonna love playing with Yaka and Scotty Barnes and Yaka Purle should be like best friends because they look out for each other the way they do that’s right uh let’s see uh we don’t even have a great backup at the moment yak Yakob can’t go yeah yeah i mean we don’t have a true center backup in some ways kelly was kind of that last year but even he’s not a true center backup and that’s why we need to draft one this year and my top five picks are common Malawatch a new uh Thomas Sorber uh Yon Barang and Maxim Rano those are my five best choices for center for the Raptors for this year figure it out Bobby and land one of those five names I just named please excuse me neil’s here good morning to Blackhawk watching the Lady Panthers right now we whooping the visitors lady Panthers what who are you talking about i don’t even know who that is mike saying “It’s always sunny joke how to get laid drop a mag uh extra-l large condom and announce the large size.” Basic okay i’m not gonna get every pop culture reference and uh that’s weird you’re just going ripping off of that off of Aurora’s Magna International okay you know you didn’t have to do the condom joke you do the ice cream joke too magnum ice cream that’s right we’re not condoms even though our rappers for our ice cream looks like condoms I I feel like that’s true you know Magnum ice cream bars you know what I’m talking about right yeah they’re like the condom ice cream bars because they’re magnum right i don’t know either way this is a weird thing to talk about Mike let’s keep going trevor saying Dallas’s youngster uh Paige Booker she’s a badass she’s a badass but they ain’t winning dallas is the worst team in the WNBA right now and uh yeah they ain’t winning they ain’t winning but she’s good she’s good well she’s a rookie she’s got time and that franchise needs time too obviously that’s what’s happening right there yeah they ain’t winning they ain’t winning neil’s saying “These young girls keep intercepting the ball and they’re killing their opponent are you actually physically at the game right now you should put up uh you should like film some of it and post it in our Discord or something like that.” Wayne saying “Morning rap freaks the system Darko has developed using Yakob as the hub spear of the attack seems unique when viewing the last eight teams in NBA Finals that means it’s not easy to execute i’m excited i feel like you know as much as people think YaKob has limitations he has so many good dominant kind of things too seriously and respect Yaka Purle Raptors Nation please respect Yaka Purle i’m excited because I know Darko’s system is more like the two teams in the finals than a lot of other NBA teams in this league and it it and you know I would also argue this listen we may not have the same talent as Oklahoma City but I feel like the Raptors have more talent than the Pacers and if we can run something like Carile and them run here with Darko we could have a better team than the Pacers running their same kind of stuff because in some ways they ripped us off in the middle of the season this year they ripped us off on defense and energy in some ways rick Carl took notes in the middle of the season he said “Wow the Raptors are really getting after it maybe we should steal some of this stuff and what they’re doing with trapping half court and just overwork every which way the way he’s getting those players to work so hard is admirable and I want to be more like coach Royakovich i want to get a light of fire under their asses and get the Pacers to mimic this.” And he did and in some ways it it’s you know because I listen that Scotty Barnes highlight reel that came out this week that’s about 25 minutes you see the Raptors playing the Thunder and the Pacers in it and executing crazy stuff now in some of the plays against the Pacers on that highlight reel the Pacers aren’t playing hardly any defense at all and that’s why I was saying they’re a bad defensive team because in the the regular season they weren’t putting it on they weren’t even trying on defense half the time when their record against us showed we beat them three out of four games that’s the other reason why I want the Pacers to win is because this will be another one of these weird years where the Raptors were a losing team but somehow someway they had a winning record against the NBA champions that’s another reason why I want the Pacers to win because we did not beat the Thunder they beat us bad routed us two games in a row but we beat the Pacers three out of four games this year so in some ways Raptors fans root for the Pacers because then we have bragging rights saying we well we beat the NBA champions in the regular season hello let’s go black saying 36 and O somebody needs to help the visitor okay okay blackhawk we’re not watching the game you can do this if you want but we’re not watching this game randolph saying “I bring blessings from the Lord to all our beloved Raptor Freaks most informative gang members.” Gang members family members uh take no uh delight in the struggles and hardship of others be like the Lord who delights in mercy yeah this is true there’s

people sleep with their eyes pupil sitting right there and you think that they’re not asleep it’s crazy they may just like look like this you know and all of a sudden they like snore for a second you’re like “Holy crap they are asleep.” Like “Are you sleeping?” It’s like you could have the TV on and they’re sitting there like this and you’re like “Maybe they’re just kind of resting are they awake?” No they’re not they’re asleep it’s weird it’s weird sleeping with your eyes open is weird it is weird fy saying “Got to go fam enjoy your day.” All right Fiercy have a great Saturday enjoy your day yes for sure logical saying “Not gonna lie i laid a cute rock girl at the velvet okay you know Mike I know you may be up from last night and you’re in that mindset but we’re in the morning and in some ways we’re doing blessings and stuff like that we don’t need to know about your sex life okay okay we don’t need to know about your sex life Mike that’s all right i appreciate you too tmi let’s just say that uh Wayne saying “I was against Eastern Conference team winning the chip but because I’m so political I can’t [ __ ] with OKC.” Sorry SGAA oklahoma has an awful history against non-white people and hasn’t apologized yet oh all right i can get behind this actually you just gave me a reason to root more against the Thunder yeah yeah no we don’t want their U fan base to get joy out of this all right I’m with you on this Wayne i’m with you on this yeah yeah there is some really messed up things that happened in Oklahoma yeah all right that’s why we need to root for Sakum Andrew and uh Benedict and Rick Carile and um yeah okay I can get behind this plus what I just said we’ll be the team that beat the Pacers in the record in the regular season that’s right Mo’s here uh good morning Raptor Freak crew good morning to you Superfan Mo happy to see you on a Saturday share the love club for Andrew Nebart that’s right if anybody has anything nice to say about Andrew Nebart

Saturday your day off and you need to t take some time off i I’m guessing it’s your day off so yeah go back to bed man no problem with that you said hi good to see you Sheriff uh Trevor saying “The reason I bought it brought it up is we were trying to sneak out the house my cousin was sleeping on the couch so we were afraid to leave the house we thought he would catch us.” That’s hilarious this is like a cartoon or something it’s like Tom and Jerry or something it’s like Tom’s sleeping on the bed the cat bed and Jerry’s trying to sneak out of the house to get the cheese or get get in the kitchen or something like that and Tom’s sleeping with his eyes open i think that was a Tom and Jerry episode once where Tom was sleeping with his eyes open Jerry’s trying to sneak by him and he’s like testing whether he’s actually like awake and I think he actually opens his he lifts his eye he punches him in the eye and he’s like not awaking up he’s like “Oh he’s not awake.” Does somebody else remember this or is this some sort of weird Mandela effect or something like that and I’m not getting that exactly right yeah Tom and Jerry that you know what Trevor your life is a cartoon you’re trying to sneak around people that have their eyes open sleeping that’s crazy mike saying “Sorry my computer keyboard is broke wild.” Sorry it’s all good Mike i’m just happy to see you here man even if you’re whiling out with some of your comments bro even if you’re whiling out hey listen a lot of people went the Velvet Underground and hooked up all right a lot of people did i know i worked there i saw it i saw it man i saw it that’s right all right let’s see what else you guys are saying uh Neil saying 44 zero somebody call the police these girls are committing murder this morning geez geez come on we could do it something else man holy crap like seriously you know 44 to zero that’s not right shaman Willie is away his wife had a baby that’s why he’s not doing it okay so he’s busy away for maternity or paternity leave with his uh his wife okay that’s why Vivic Jacob’s stepping in for him all right that’s interesting he’s his wife delivered a son okay well congratulations to him that’s right but they still don’t do every day like I do no they don’t no they don’t mon’nique saying Claude Nebard Andrew’s dad has been doing a few interviews lately yeah he should be very proud father having one son in the NBA and one that may be in the NBA very soon there’s no guarantees with Ryan there’s no guarantees for sure uh Mo you missed it earlier I did a scout of the day on Ryan Nebard and I think he’s a pretty good three-point shooter but I don’t know if he’s going to make the NBA i’m going to say this right now i you know if the Raptors pick him up undrafted and after the the draft’s over and they want to have him in our G-League system I’d be happy but I don’t know i don’t know if he’s going to be as good as his brother in some ways he’s shorter and I don’t know look looking at Ryan Ehart he’s a borderline NBA player he’s probably going to be a G-Leagueer with little stints in the NBA but not a full-fledged NBA player that’s what I’m going to guess right now now prove me wrong Ryan Nebard if you don’t like what I’m saying right now that’s right go above and beyond prove old Lex wrong that’s what I want to see smooth saying Chris Buchchet would fit so well in Golden State Houston i could see either of those spots for him reggie shush shush stop trying to send things to Houston stop trying to send things to Houston uh Blackhawk saying “Lady Panthers is the football team my youngest daughter is playing on.” Yeah I’m at the game of course you are and you’re giving us highlights at a football game okay uh uh little little girls football game that’s different that’s different i heard that too much no but that’s good that’s good equality in sports that’s right unless he wants to take a vet minimum deal in Toronto i’m talking about Chris well we’ll have to see what Chris Bashet decides it’s It’s all up in the air and either way whatever i want Chris to be happy i’d be happier if he’s in Raptors but we got to do what we got to do and I’m going to just trust the front office to make the right decision when it comes to Chris Buché and if they line up and they make things right and he can be here still that’d be great every everybody’s uncle Bobby Webster make it work make it work make it work is what I’m saying right now all right we’re talking to Andrew Nebart guys today who is uh 25 years old out of Aurora 6’4 191 pounds this man’s a Mont Verde Academy guy just like Scotty and R.J and well you know what he’s had a fantastic career already he’s only been in the NBA this is his third season and he’s in the NBA finals right now so yeah Andrew you keep going man the future’s bright you’re showing a greatness a tenacity a knowledge of playing the basketball game not only in the NBA but in FIA levels for Team Canada i’m excited about the potential for you in the years to come as a leader on the Team Canada team standing next to Shay Gildas Alexander that’s right i’m all about that yeah yeah let’s see um uh Mike’s saying “The Clippers and uh and Kings want Buché and Shed.” Well a lot of people probably want Shed for sure a lot of people probably want Shed at this point seeing what he was like all right let me see what else is on my tabs real quick we got to go to Raptors Reddit reactions and uh the M 225 2025 NBA draft predictor most likely pick for each team let’s see what Hoos is saying here they’re saying that the number the most likely pick for the Toronto Raptors uh common mala watch is at the top of the list they have their five for Toronto is Common Derek Queen Casperis uh Carter Bryant and Ace Bailey as number five they’re saying “Oh if Ace falls that far they’ll take home.” I don’t like that list at all i want some Ace Newell on there come on now where’s Aces start showing up on these lists it’s kind of goofy man i I’m telling you they’re trying to hide Asa Newell the the main people who covered this draft they are trying to hide him and they don’t want people to understand who he is man they don’t want to understand who he is boom goes the dynamite let’s see what else is there um on here that’s interesting man somebody’s got a really bad trade ex uh trade uh with the Bulls with RJ you’re an idiot i’m going to mark you down you get a negative on Reddit for that yeah I do that if I see stuff that’s idiotic and Toronto Raptors Reddit I give you a down vote and hopefully you get more down votes because you’re stupid is what I’m saying yeah all right that’s pretty much it there i don’t see anything else that’s new on there let’s see there is a birthday today you know we missed the birthday the other day on uh Thursday and you know what is weird the birthday we missed on Thursday when the stream cut short was Anthony Parker anthony Parker had his 50th birthday on Thursday and of course we talked about how Anthony Parker hit the big shot for Tel Aviv against the Raptors and won the Day Smith Cub and uh then we’ve never seen it since so happy 50th birthday to Anthony Parker the brother of Candace Parker and former Raptor legend Anthony Parker who was a legend against us and then became a player for us also today’s birthdays are Lauren Woods former Raptor Lauren Woods is uh he’s uh he’s 47 today and then we got uh Thad Young’s birthday today guys thad Young you know I would be much more excited about your birthday a year ago but in the last year you’ve kind of said stupid things but happy birthday to you either way Thaad Young he is um uh 37 today 37 years old today thad Young uh Thaddius yeah so there’s your birthdays for today fad Young and Lauren Woods are the two birthdays for today yeah let’s see we got to do the classic card see what else you guys are saying in here man uh James is saying Nepart’s the best three and D point guard andrew Andrew is the best three and D point guard i don’t know if that’s true the thing is the D is good yeah I think the D is good but the three is not exactly there totally with him yet i think he needs to be more consistent with his his offense because he’s honestly this is the first year he’s averaged double digits he got 10 points a game this season for Indiana the other thing about Andrew Nebard is that he got promoted to the starting lineup he wasn’t starting uh he was the backup point guard for this first two years and this year he rose to becoming a starter next to Hallebertton and that that helped him but he’s still got a his offense has a lot of work still andrew Nebart’s going to get better on offense the thing is that he I think he’s better on Canada in some ways than on the Pacers like we’ve seen him have huge games internationally for team Canada in the Feeble World Cup and also a bit last year in Paris so it’s weird because I want to see him step up and get like a 25 to 30 point gain but he doesn’t really do that very often for the Pacers it’s mostly Hallebertton and Seakum doing that but over time I could see Nebart developing his offense more so his scoring average goes up and he’s more relied on for clutch shooting and carrying the team during the game offensively well in some ways right now he has the luxury of playing very much focused on his defensive stuff especially on SGA in this series and that is a luxury but at some point in his career Andrew Nebar is going to gonna be demanded on to score more and more for the Pacers and he’s shown it on the team Canada stuff like I said he’s been the leading scorer for team Canada in a couple of our games in comp competitions with RJ and SJ on the court with him and that that’s special that’s special right there that says a lot mike saying if Ace is trying to drop to Toronto I understand the raps build stars i don’t know what Ace is trying to do either way he’s going about the wrong way and uh he’s really hurting himself and he doesn’t even understand it mo’s saying “I’ve been around the stream it’s when you close just busy sorry I can’t always limit your stream.” That’s all right Mo you You know what i’ve noticed it too when you’re not here i end up going on three-hour lexathons and you know what i I just need to have more discipline i need to watch the clock and then kind of land the plane around the target time for me to be done right now I’m at an hour and a half so I’ve got a little bit of I’ve got almost everything done so I could wrap it up within the two hours easy right now blackhawks saying the draft predictions are all over the place the only consistency is Cooper and Dylan even Dylan’s not consistent there’s nothing consistent other than Cooper that is it even the two pick and the everything is up in the air everything’s up in the air and the crazy thing is Cooper’s up the air too because he he may be for sure the number one pick but that doesn’t mean he’s playing for Dallas so everything’s up in the air neil everything about this trap is up in the air seriously and Mike’s saying a siakum is hotter than a buttered buttered what buttered what atigum what is atum buttered atum i don’t know what that is man come on Mike all right all right let’s see let’s get our cards out for the classic card mike you want to do a classic card today my guy get me some uh identify some players in the NBA by their card let me see i want to get one of these again yeah let’s do this all right guys we’re going to have fun we’re going to do another card that is a team and an era and a year and there are how many answers here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 answers i’m going to have to get my pen because I got to write in who gets them all right so today’s classic card of the day is a bonafide a lot of chances to get points and this actually makes sense because we’re not going to be in this season very soon because the game will be tomorrow and the well we’re going to flip over the scores on the trivia to zero for everybody as of Monday morning for sure so um let’s go ahead and get a lot of points with 13 answers today 100 points each so get ready guys we want to know who was on the Denver Nuggets in 1990 and including their coach so give me Denver Nuggets of 1990 circa and give me the names full name answers and I will tell you if they’re on the list for Denver Nuggets 1990 squad don’t go look it up don’t Google this [ __ ] just start writing them in let’s see if you’re right um Dembbe Matumbbo no he is not on this list i’m sorry guys isaac uh Mark Ellis who the hell is Mark Ellis there’s no Mark Ellis on here you’re thinking of a different Ellis michael Adams all right Smooth’s got one michael Adams is on the list so that’s the first one the original Mighty Mouse before our guy uh Damon michael Adams is on this list uh I would say that man there’s some really tough names on here uh we’ll start with somebody who’s very famous from LSU is on this list if that can give you a guess Blair Rasmusen is on this list smooth is doing well so far he’s got two of them blair Rasmusen is on this list he was the center for the the Nuggets at this time before Matumbbo this is before Matumbbo uh let’s say there’s a guy on here who could be the father of one of the players in the draft because he has the last name that is the same and it’s an animal so if you can figure that out Yeah chris Jackson is the name on here not Makmoud Abdul Ruf it’s good that you said his original name from LSU makmoud Abdul Ruf otherwise known as the great college scorer Chris Jackson who played for LSU uh Tigers in the 80s and that’s right he is on here chris Jackson is on here smooth is getting all the points so far alex English was retired by this time unfortunately so he is not on this list James it’s a good guess alex English uh let’s see jerome Lane is on this list smooth is cleaning up our champion is flexing his muscle and showing that he really knows the Denver Nuggets of 1990 yeah Jerome Lane is on this list we’ve got one two three four four names guessed and there’s still nine more to go guys so this is a little bit of an extended uh classic card who was on the Nuggets in 1990 this old Skybox card and and Smooth’s just cleaning up man uh let’s see there was a guy on this list that was a very important star on uh the the Phoenix Suns before he came to this team yeah uh Orlando Woolridge is on this list smooth is just keep going Smooth you know it orlando Woolidge is on this list uh there’s a guy who is a coach for the Spurs and also a very important uh player for the Spurs was on this team at this time also uh that played for the Spurs and coached the Spurs at another point who is that player that would have been on the Nuggets in 1990 uh he’s somebody that was in the Spurs playoff teams well the internet is going wild what’s going on on the internet what is the internet’s always going wild what is different now and uh you know the guy that I was saying he he could be the father of one of the guys in the draft because his last name is an animal think about that they could also be related to the creator of um law and order how about that that’s a good clue right there yeah that’s a good clue right there uh let’s just say that the San Antonio coach that played he he’s kind of known for rank in the in uh the um the army not an admiral though not an admiral but a different rank in the army uh was what his nickname was so if you can figure that out yeah we were we’re trying to figure out 1990s Denver Nuggets on the roster we got 13 names on here and Smooth is dominating he’s got one two three four five of them already and there’s still eight more names on here so come on y’all who were your Nuggets in 1990 way before Nicola and Carmelo who were the Nuggets then one of them was playing for the Phoenix Suns and he was on the Suns around when they had the drug scandals his first name is the same as the actor Matau that’s right uh Neil saying this one girl must be the reincarnation of Pinball Clemens okay your sideline reporting at a football game uh is uh kind of nonsequitator and not totally right here yeah okay we get the scores run up in some ways this is not a a young girls football re freak sorry this is not young girls football freak and we’re doing the classic car neil why don’t you guess some Denver Nuggets in 1990 real quick um let’s see another one is got the same first name as the lead singer of Living Color on this list if you know the lead singer of the band Living Color uh his first name you can figure out one of the first names of the names on this list uh there’s also a guy on here who has uh um his last name kind of sounds like uh fungus yeah yeah i don’t know if you guys are going to get these i’ll close this at a certain point if you guys aren’t actually trying to guess seriously so you got to actively be trying to guess or I’m just going to close the classic card because I know there’s 13 names on here y’all may not get them the coach is famous for being a coach of the Lakers before and he had a very certain type of offense he was the originator of Showtime honestly in some ways this guy because he had a certain type of uptempo offense that was very famous in the 80s and in fact he’s the coach who coached the Nuggets in the game that had the highest score in the history of the NBA which was like 215 to 200 something with the Detroit Pistons so come on y’all we need guesses if you don’t put them in I’m gonna close the stream and we’re gonna say that there’s no more points to be had so nobody’s trying to catch up with uh Smooth greg Anderson is not right if you’re thinking of the the San Antonio player that became a coach of the San Antonio Spurs but also played for them and he played a he had a nickname that was a rank in the um Army that’s an easy guess right there you should know exactly what I’m talking about Reggie when I say he coached the Spurs he played for the Spurs and his nickname was a rank in the Army that should give it away it’s not Cadillac Anderson cadillac’s a car and he definitely didn’t coach the Spurs that’s for sure man I want y’all to answer but if y’all aren’t going to answer you got to keep giving me ges y’all or I’m going to close it down uh we will be uh the word D O N E which is one of the names on this list there’s somebody who has that last name spelled differently uh we’ll be done if we don’t get this soon that’s right his name is on here just so y’all know who’s the coach at least y’all y’all don’t know who was the crazy coach for Denver that made them score so many points like crazy y’all need to know this this is important NBA history knowledge that people should know the coach the Denver Nuggets that jack juiced up the the the the offense and just went crazy no defense and they scored like crazy so uptempo with their players man all right I guess we’re going to call it man avery Johnson is right smooth avery Johnson is on this list he was on the Nuggets at this time he is the little general and he was a coach of the Spurs and he played for the Spurs so yeah Avery Johnson is on this list listen to my clues very carefully Reggie i’ll give you every single answer who would be the father of one of the draft picks this year that is an animal last name we mentioned this guy on the stream earlier i think I’m not very high on this guy coming to the Raptors i haven’t really talked about him or scouted him but his dad could have been on the Nuggets if it was the same family and uh their last name is also the producer of Law and Order yeah and I think this player died like in recent years which is sad joe Wolf is right danny Wolf dick Wolf joe Wolf that’s right smooth you listen to my clues you’ll get these you just listen to me damn it who has the same first name as a leading singer of living color the cult of personality look in my eyes what do you see the cult of personality yeah i know your anger i know your dreams i tell you one and one makes three whoa yeah yeah some CM Punk all right who is the lead singer of Living Color he’s not the son of Danny Glover just so y’all know he has the same last name man yeah smith doesn’t want to get anymore he feels like he’s going too off no you get them all you deserve them if you do if you can get these y’all know the lead singer of Living Color what his name is he’s wearing that body glove suit in the Living Color video and he’s dancing around in his dreads and yelling and stuff like that no nobody remembers him well we’re about to be done so tell me the dun who played for the Denver Nuggets before I get out of here real quick and also if you know anybody who had a na last name that sounds like a fungus you could get that one there’s also a guy who’s a friend of Bill W I guess or no he’s Bill H we could say that if you know Bill H that played for the Nuggets and also the great player who was a high-scoring player who played for Phoenix before Denver and did that yeah T dunn is on here smooth that’s right listen to me man smooth gets TR done you’re cleaning house smokey Joe smokey Joe smoky Joe Wolf reggie Jackson no no not Mr october or Reggie Jackson who’s been in the league recently no and there was maybe a Reggie Jackson back then but not on this time no reggie Williams no he’s not on here either one two three four you only have four more answers i want to see if you can do it i want to see if you can do it seriously smooth in some ways this is your gauntlet to earn your name on that trophy the final test is to get the rest of these Nuggets on this list you’ve gotten Blair Rasmusen you’ve gotten Dr dunn come on my guy let’s finish the job who was the coach of the Denver Nuggets at this time that amped up the offense it’s so famous so so famous johnson Williams no that’s two last names no who is the famous coach that amped up the offense and made NBA have the craziest offense ever in the history of the NBA ever he is the most offensive coach in the history of the NBA the coach of this Denver Nuggets team and he was the former coach of the Los Angeles Lakers before Pat Riley uh and Showtime he was the coach of the Lakers for a little while in there before yeah you I can’t believe y’all don’t know this name y’all should know this paul Westthead that’s damn right all right Smooth you know it come on now just come on out with it come on out with it that’s right paul Westad was the coach he is the one I was talking about thank you oh
