Sunday Report! The 2025 NBA Playoffs has been some of the best playoff basketball in a long time!!!!

good morning raptor freaks lexi oats here sunday morning coming in a little early um it is sunday report and today my sunday report is on the playoffs this year for the nba and just commenting on how the playoffs have been fantastic the playoffs have been competitive the playoffs have been full of excitement and surprises and you know in some ways the script writing of the nba was not dominating the outcomes of the games which was fantastic i really like it when results seem organic and teams that aren’t favored u get somewhere in the playoffs because it seems like often you know the nba can manipulate who wins games for narratives and maybe marketing and storylines but i don’t get any of those fingerprints from this uh playoff because in some ways the teams that are in the end sure oklahoma city probably was going to be in the finals but indiana wasn’t and uh this is great because honestly i don’t want to be able to just say “oh it’s the celtics versus the thunder at the end of the year.” i don’t want to be able to do that because i feel like that ruins the whole season you don’t want to watch the whole season or the playoffs if you think that the nba’s already set up who they think they should the be the main event so the unpredictability the fact that teams that are best teams as far as they play like teams are in the finals the fact that they’re playing very high level basketball team basketball this is all great stuff and i really do hope that this is the beginning of a new era in the nba where we’re going to see more of this coming forward i don’t care which teams make the finals i just want the teams that make the finals to be there ethically and for the right reasons and for some reason some of the teams that made the finals in past years i don’t believe actually got there totally on their own merit that sometimes the nba will give a little push or little nudge to help certain teams maybe teams with lebron on them or jason tatum and uh i’m just glad that this was a very organic playoff with a lot of surprises a lot of close games a lot of games with a lot of high intrigue and pressure and fun and well we’re going to culminate it today with a game seven tonight uh indiana pacers at oklahoma city thunder and it’s it’s fantastic this is a game seven that is truly could go either way you know often you know in these kind of series like this especially in the finals the final series of the nba season there could be a very lopsided uh matchup where both teams you know they’re not exactly equal one team may be more of a juggernaut like the celtics last year and the mavericks just a two-man show that i don’t even know how they got to the finals last year dallas mavericks getting to the finals last year was is stupid and ridiculous and the western teams fumbled to allow uh that team get to the finals because they were not a finals team last year dallas mavericks so it’s great that we’re going to have a game seven tonight where it’s going to be high intrigue high excitement anything could happen i tell you right now sure oklahoma city may be favored but the pacers have a chance to win because it’s just one and done whoever wins tonight will win the championship for this year and uh you know i wouldn’t count out rick carile pascal seakum and the crew from giving it a good shot in trying to win tonight so i’m excited man it’s game seven vibes man game seven vibes ain’t nothing better than that and we’ll have to see if this young thunder team is ready to meet that kind of energy in a game seven like this on their home court you know they’re young guys and in some ways that escalator to the larry o’brien you know it’s it’s the top steps are really tough to leap up onto to get to that very top indiana in some ways if we’re really looking at my escalator uh analogy they may be on the step ahead of them just from experience and uh age and uh you know and i’m talking about with the coach i’m talking about with the age bracket of their team i’m talking about miles turner i’m talking about pascal seakum that in some ways they have more experience in this and i would say that they may be one step higher on the escalator to larry o’brien than than uh the thunder can the thunder leapfrog them with a homecourt advantage and youthful enthusiasm to beat the pacers tonight probably maybe we’ll have to see let them play it all out on the court and even if the thunder defeat the the pacers for most of the game doesn’t mean they got undefeated because we’ve seen at the very end of the game the pacers can come back and steal a game really really quick with not much time left in the fourth quarter so it’s going to be right up till the last buzzer and if you’re a basketball purist the person that really loves team basketball and the the the real sport not just some casual who maybe never played and they just like the style maybe they’re just intrigued with the cult of personality of the players you know oh i’m a lebron fan no i don’t really watch the nba but i love lebron they had such a cool song for him lately i love him that’s how i got into it you know this [ __ ] no i started watching this because of detroit pistons bad boys because they were bad boys and they used to beat up people and they played team ball bill lambir benny johnson isaiah thomas joe dumar and you know that that’s what i’m saying it’s a team sport and if you’re into the individual era the superstar era and you just care about people like kevin durant steph curry and uh draymond green you are not the right kind of fan i would much rather like a collective a team of nine a team of 10 a team with a good coach and a team that plays with each other than some team that just over isolates their superstar over and over again every possession and expects us to call that basketball no the last era of the nba almost ruined the sport and well i think that adam silver has been doing great damage control with some of the new rules with the salary cap and allowing parody in this league and allowing any team to have a chance to compete because the old model was not good for this and it really was a bad business model the business model is much better now in some ways he needs to mimic his predecessor david stern on how he created a healthy ecosystem in the nba and that was in some ways once again allowing all 30 teams an equal shot at trying to win the championship why would you root for your team in charlotte if you never ever were going to get chance to ever get to the championship because it’s just not realistic and it may not be realistic for a franchise like charlotte because they’re just poorly managed but they need to have the ability to believe that it could happen and that there is a path to do it otherwise there’s no ticket sales and the team folds and runs out of business the way that the espn has marketed the nba has been hurtful and detrimental to the product they put down players teams all kinds of different things just to be snide little piece of [ __ ] bullies oh yeah why you make fun of pascal seakum make fun of the raptors for all these years make fun of different teams and players and then you wonder why everybody disrespects the nba and thinks the product sucks because y’all taught them to think that with your negative coverage and your snide childish immature coverage stephen a smith and a lot of y’all on espn seriously you you trained the fans to be the way they are and look down on the product and you actually devalued your own product i think that most employers want their employees to bring up profits to bring up value for the company not devalue it and i think that’s been the biggest mistake the whole time that espn abc disney has been partnership with the nba is that they have devalued the product on the download for many many years and now the fans are taught to be toxic and devalue the product on their own because this is what the talking heads on tv do so it’s like yeah adam silver you want to increase your product you want to increase sales you want to increase your uh your overall u you know earnings well stop hiring people that put down your product from within it’s almost like you walk into a store to buy a tv and the tv salesman’s like “hey come on in i want to show you some tvs this tv right here is pretty good but honestly you don’t really want that one it’s uh probably too expensive or it may break on you.” yeah this one yeah you don’t want this one either it’s almost black and white honestly it’s so old you know do you want a salesman like that working in your tv store trying to sell tvs for you no and that’s what espn has been for you selling the nba product yeah yeah and that’s why you need to replace all those jabronies on espn with the inside the nba tnt crew yeah get rid of all the jabronies in espn clean house get rid of all of them and hire everybody from other places that uh just lost their jobs from the contract changing just bring the whole tnt crew in and just replace uh the espn people at tnt now i know the tnt guys put down the product too shaq kenny charles but in some ways they’re fair about it and they’re more entertaining about it at least that’s what i would say they’re a little bit more fair about it but shaq you need to study the whole nba and stop disrespecting teams that you don’t follow you need to follow all of them you get paid the big bucks you’re on tv like that shaquille o’neal you need to follow all 30 teams and understand uh you know the players who are in the league at this time that’s your job bro that’s your job and you should do your job that’s what i’m saying you know these half-ass announcers that don’t study the whole entire nba don’t know all the players in the league i know you could do this because i did this as a kid year in and year out i knew every single player in the nba i knew every single player where they were playing i knew everything about the role and what they were doing on each team and well i don’t understand why espn and uh nba analysis can’t do this yourselves that’s your damn job you get paid to do it so cover all 30 teams and be up to speed on everybody and if you don’t know about toronto well that’s your own damn fault don’t act like you’re an expert on them then if you come on tv because you don’t know what you’re talking about if you don’t study toronto or follow the raptors seriously i don’t want to hear you guys talk about them if you’re not informed that’s what i’m saying all right let’s check in with the chat i just want to go on about this on the sunday report about how great these playoffs have been how i’m so excited these these finals have been so fun and i’m excited for game seven tonight so yeah whatever you guys are thinking about the playoffs and your opinions about it i’d love to hear it in the chat let’s see what’s going on with everybody this morning yeah we’ll start with trevor jay he’s saying “truth don’t need a crowd just a backbone.” you know the truth is just truth the truth is the essence of uh uh what is just true in this world and you know what the truth wins out in the end any which way truth is every single thing that’s natural in this world the truth is birth the truth is moved the bruise is death it’s all truth it’s all a truth and you have to accept it and you know evil is evil and good is good and evil will you know get its just do in the end so yeah in some ways listen you know i’m going to say this once again popular uh opinion on things does not mean everything’s right or wrong depending on popular opinion the popular opinion can be very very wrong and there’s some things that are going on right now they’re going to try and say that this is a popular right thing to do but they are absolutely wrong and they’re evil and that hopefully they’ll get their just desserts in the end that’s not my for me to decide that’s for the guy up above to decide in the end thank you trevor jay for your words of wisdom blessings to the phillips to the to the jones family how about that blessings to the jones family and all the raptor freak families out there that’s right that’s right trevor saying uh indiana versus okc game seven who will win it all tonight i’m going to once again put it down on experience will beat youth and uh homec court advantage although let’s go look at the refs right now they’re not very favorable for indiana james capers jr will ref tonight as the crew chief i’m getting a strong feeling that james jimmy capers might be retiring after this year because he has worked a ton of playoff games this season and he’s getting the honor of doing the crew chief for game seven of the finals that is a big crown jewel kind of assignment man game seven of the finals as the crew chief james capers jr i have no idea man it could be that he’s retiring this summer maybe not maybe he’s still going to come around again he’s a 63 and um you know i don’t know i don’t know but he favors the thunder he’s uh favoring the thunder it’s it’s uh not very close second ref is the worst ref for the raptors this past year we were 0 and6 under him and he stole a gamewinner from jamal shed josh tib josh tivven just barely slightly favors oklahoma city over indiana they’re really close to each other they’re like third and fourth best record teams with josh tivven in his referee career but yeah oklahoma city has a slight edge with josh tivven the third ref tonight will be shawn wright and i i get the feeling that tiban and wright have been two of the top refs this whole entire year that they’re getting this assignment of a game seven in the finals shawn wright and josh tibon both very ex very very extensively worked in these playoffs and they were very prominent in the season too so i think that these guys were two of the top refs this year in the eyes of the referee grades and stuff so shawn wright is the umpire he favors the thunder also so all three of the refs statistically favor the thunder against the pacers and uh in the alternate ref will be james williams and in the replay center it’s david guthrie watching from sikakus so yeah the refs are not good for the pacers the crowd is not good for the pacers so why is lex saying i think the pacers are still going to win is because the team of destiny is a team of destiny and in some ways this pacer run as much as it’s like some people are saying “oh this wouldn’t be good if the pacers won,” adam silver may be thinking “this will be good if the pacers win.” because in some ways it’s a great story it honestly is a really fantastic story the fact if the pacers won the championship it really would prove that anybody in this league can win a championship any year and that is what we want because we want the raptors to have a better chance to win the championship uh just because it’s more wide open in parody and that is what that will happen yeah trevor saying raptors fans gonna be mad no more purple those raptors jerseys are fire yeah there was a little post yesterday which made me very happy but i know a lot of idiots are getting really upset right now and i get it i get it y’all childish people want the purple to come back for the raptors i told y’all it’s a special color we only wear it for vintage years like the 30th anniversary year our colors are black and red and everybody was crying out for a rebrand well apparently they’re saying it’s official that we’re not getting a rebrand next year that uh there’s the the athletic company that makes the jerseys have already made started to make the jerseys for next year and they have leaked the four main jerseys for the raptors next year and they’re all black and red and white and there’s no purple to be seen and i’m not upset about this you guys know how i stand on this and this is exactly the right decision by them it makes sense purple is a special vintage color for the raptors franchise that should only be brought out for anniversary years like the 20th the 30th anniversaries and uh i wish the raptors fans would understand this now i know a lot of y’all hate the chevron but the chevron’s still here too we’re going to wear the exact same red with black chevron jerseys that we wore last year we’re going to wear the white one with the red chevron too we’re going to wear the black jersey with the thunderbolt stripe pinstripes and no chevron on it too those are the three main jerseys along with a new city edition jersey that was leaked that is absolute fire it’s the one that i was hoping would be the city edition for this year that got leaked in the last month it is a black jersey with red lettering and the raptor is on it and it’s an old school raptor logo just like the first year except it’s mashing up the current colors of the raptors with the original jersey you’re getting a dinosaur but you’re not getting a purple dinosaur you’re getting a white dinosaur and the most fire thing about this city edition jersey is that they’re the jersey the dinosaur is wearing the earn not given championship we the north jersey the red jersey with the white chevron and i love that jersey so much in some ways this is a this is a city edition jersey that is paying homage to our championship year of 2019 last year we had a city edition jersey that had a vince carter dunk logo raptor on it and that was really apppropo for last season and honoring vince carter with his jersey retirement and the 30th anniversary this year we’re gonna have a city edition jersey that honors our championship team with the championship jersey on the raptor on the jersey it’s fire i love it i love that jersey so much i mean the city edition jersey last year was really good too but i think the one this year is fantastic but yeah there’s a bunch of whining and crying on reddit right now trevor and i’ll go look at it real quick we’ll do the raptors reddit reaction right now first they got the thunder game seven they got seakum in the undertaker’s hat you know listen seakum did an interview yesterday explaining why his eyes rolled back in his head that i thought was totally unnecessary seakum you do not have to answer to anybody no you do not you’re a badass you’re amazing man you’re a very humble guy you’re a sweet guy you’re a nice guy in some ways you’re a people pleaser and you feel like you got to answer to people in the press you don’t have to answer anybody about why your eyes roll back in your head and it’s kind of funny what he said he he said that he didn’t even realize he’s doing it he said that he thinks his eyes are closed but they’re not and he’s like “oh obviously they’re not i thought my eyes were closed but no you’re just rolling your eyes back in the back of your head.” and everybody’s gone out of crazy with it thinking he’s demonic thinking he’s got black magic saying all this crazy stupid [ __ ] a lot of racist [ __ ] is being said and uh you know seakum’s a badass he said “i’m going to try and stop doing this everybody.” he thinks that he he’s feels bad because he thinks he’s freaking people out and he’s saying “i won’t do it anymore guys i’m sorry i don’t want to do it anymore.” why why can’t you just be you and these stupid people should just shut up and let seakum be sakum who cares if his eyes roll back in the head y’all idiots who think that this is some sort of demonic thing you need to shut the [ __ ] up it is not it’s just a man who had his eyes roll back in his head everybody does this you can do it too don’t act like you’re holier than now than him or anything like that just because that happens i’m ashamed that siakum felt like he had to come out and apologize for this and explain himself you do not have to explain yourself seiakum you do not you are better than this and in some ways i’m sad that you felt like you did because [ __ ] those people you live your life and you do it however you need to do it if you want to roll your eyes back in the back of your head and you don’t know it let him do it it’s his right guys it’s his right and y’all need to shut up i’m so sick of people being overanalytical i mean the man can’t even just do this seriously seakum was funny he’s in this interview and he said “my agent told me i saw you rolling your eyes in the back of your head during the anthems in toronto.” and i was like “yeah we all been seeing this it’s not like the first time i’ve seen seakkum roll his eyes in the back of his head probably about a dozen times over the years.” and i never thought anything about it i never ever thought anything about it i just knew that this is him meditating getting in game mindset to get ready to play basketball and it has nothing to do with anything else it’s no spirits and any of that [ __ ] no it’s so stupid and like todd rampair told him he’s like “yeah you’re you’re rolling your eyes in the back of your head when you’re standing during the anthems.” he’s like “i’m doing that i really i didn’t realize that.” and he’s like “you know just leave the man alone let the man play basketball let the man spin let the man do what he does and who cares this is frivolous stuff y’all are weird man that you made such a big deal out of uh pascal’s eye roll and stuff seriously y’all are weird for this and i i’m shamed that he had to apologize to you guys and say he’s going to try not to do it anymore it’s so stupid man people are so stupid and annoying honestly uh yeah so that there’s a lot of jokes about pascal in his eyes on raptors reddit right now here’s the no rebrand post on here and they showing the jerseys man they’re beautiful scott barnes number four i love that jersey the new city edition jersey black with the the the pinstripes and the raptor is white with the red jersey on him and the white uh logo for toronto in the style of the old uh original jersey it’s just badass it’s badass and the comments are silly everybody’s like thinking “oh we want the popular we’re voting we think that we want this.” like the fans on reddit think that they’re the majority they think “oh no we want purple no more chevrons.” they want to direct everything on there like they’re the power brokers of this y’all are very small uh loud minority on reddit and honestly most people don’t have very strong opinions on this let’s just put it that way in the first place now some of us do i do and you do on reddit also but remember in some ways you are not mlsc you do not have the ideas and the things to do rebranding you’re not gms that should tell bobby webster to trade for giannis so it’s all on all things y’all are just trying to uh grab power in places where you don’t have power is basically what’s going on uh with some of the people on raptors reddit y’all don’t have no power y’all really don’t you can whine and cry you can say things on there but in and they may pay attention to you but for the most part y’all don’t have any power you don’t have the power to trade for kevin durant you don’t have the power to put purple back on our jerseys seriously you really don’t have that power and that’s what you’re learning today is what it is for y’all purple purple passionate people seriously is that y’all don’t have the power the raptors have the power and they have a a brand and an identity that is very wellcraftrafted and very smart and it’s red and black and uh in some ways come on now seriously you can get upset about this and be all right don’t watch the games don’t be a raptors fan then if you love purple so much that you’re gonna be turned off that they didn’t switch the purple jerseys this year there is no rebrand i’m dancing the streets i’m like “yes thank you raptors this is exactly what you should be doing we need to continue with what we’re doing right now just like with our roster with our jersey game.” and honestly the city edition is so fire man the city edition is so fire i love it so much man oh my gosh i love it so much it’s crazy man all right let’s keep going uh trevor saying phoenix beat the sky and minnesota beat the sparks yeah yeah all right let’s see uh we’ll go look at wnba stuff real quick we got some referees for today chicago atlanta amy bonner uh ryan cano and kelsey reynolds dallas at washington mash for forsber agana bosy and marcy williams indiana at las vegas tiara cruz tim green and charles watson new york at seattle randy richardson katherine chang and gerta gatling and connecticut at golden state valkyries eric brunson gina cross and jeffrey smith i’m in bad place in the fantasy uh cass has got a crazy score he’s at 635 and with one more day to play and i’m at 512 i’m not gonna beat him honestly he has the highest score anybody scored in a our wnba league this whole entire year he went above and beyond and you know what i have a good score i’m at 512 and i would beat every single other person in this league except for cass and i’m gonna lose for the first time this year and be four and one after today i already know it he’s already got me this is a huge accomplishment by trucker cass really really big accomplishment fiercy is beating james mk is beating edmund uh very close uh kareem could still beat logical today possibly and then it’s close between jp and coolcat it’s like a 14 24 point lead for coolcat currently in our fantasy wnba so get your lineup set up for the the games that are today on wnba that’s right let’s go jussi’s here good morning y’all tonight is going to be a very memorable night yeah one way or another we’re going to have two new canadian champions either side wins we’re going to have two new canadians that are nba champions that’ll bring the total of canadians that won the n uh the the larry o’brien to 12 there’s 10 canadians currently that have won the larry o’brien in the history of the nba well we’re going to get two more added no matter what the outcome is tonight to there’ll be an even dozen of canadians that have won the larry o’brien and i’m excited to see which of the two pairs it’s going to be is it going to be lou dort and sga or is it going to be benedict mththeran and andrew nebart we’ll have to see what it is going to be man either way it’s going to be a fun game i’m sure it’s going to be close the whole game through and it’s going to be exciting right up until the final buzzer that’s right jussi saying “i’m going to be very happy with either team winning to be honest and i’m not even that much of a fan of both teams.” yeah yeah i feel like i’m the same place like i’m not a huge pacers or thunder fan but i have become very much rooting for the pacers in this series i am rooting for them which is crazy because normally in the playoffs in the finals if it’s not the raptors in the finals i will root for the western conference to win but in this case this is a weird rare case where i will root for the other eastern conference team against the thunder in this case i feel like the the pacers are the underdog and the seakkum factor is huge here i mean this is the thing if seakum has a really good game today and the pacers win the championship he’s the finals mvp because hallebertton got hurt and he you know in some ways he was a detriment to them at times when they needed him the most but seakum’s been the steady one there the whole time and that is the most valuable player right there and people are already waking up to it on uh the talking heads on espn and stuff saying it’s like you know seakum is likely going to be the finals mvp if they win the championship today he’s going to be a hall of famer and that’s what they’re saying they’re starting to say that it’s like somebody said i think it was that nick wright guy or whatever the guy who’s on espn he said “what kind of a world do we live in that rasheed wallace is not a hall of famer but pascal seakum probably will be a hall of famer in the i’m like you idiot don’t you understand who rasheed wallace is and why he’s not a hall of famer yeah sure he won a championship with the pistons with ben wallace and chanty phillips but he also won a lot of fines and technicals from various reps his whole entire career he’s also been very outspoken against the nba since he’s been one of the most vocal people about tim donnie and his scandal in any kind of podcast yeah you don’t understand why rasheed wallace isn’t in the hall of fame it’s because of extracurricular stuff with him and his attitude and what he stood for in some ways he led the league in technicals let’s just remember this and since he’s left he’s not been one of the most uh embraced nba former stars because of his mouth and what he said about the league afterwards so i don’t understand why you can’t understand why rashid wallace is not a hall of famer but pascal sakum is none of those things in fact this man’s apologizing for rolling his eyes in the back of his head instead of getting technicals every five minutes in nba games like rasheed used to understand why they don’t understand that but i’m definitely see i either way it’s like these aren’t normal teams that i get really passionate about but i am i’m involved i’m invested in this finals as a raptors fan watching two other teams right now that’s right that’s right uh jussi saying i remember david stern saying less is more if adam follows that then basketball will only grow to a glo global scale this is the whole thing man you know what this is the nba is a laboratory it’s like you know what you get a little petri dish and you put it on the counter and you put a little bit of a wa drop of water and there’s organisms in that water now you could just put that drop of water there and just let it grow and do whatever it’s going to do that’s what you should do adam silver just let that drop of water do whatever don’t add anything to it don’t try and manipulate it don’t try and control it don’t try and drive the narrative yourself you just need this ecosystem the nba to exist and allow it to flourish and grow like a garden and in some ways you don’t need be to prune in teams you don’t need to be weeding out stuff you don’t need to be having so much control over the product we can tell when you’re controlling the product we can tell when you’re holding it and trying to guide it like uh water uh out of a hose with your thumb i’m going to shoot it this way towards the lakers get a little bit more water on their plant you know we can tell when you’re doing this kind of stuff so it should be like a laboratory it should have scientific method where you are not having any outside influences or factors uh ruin your results you should let the ecosystem in that drop of water grow the way it’s supposed to naturally and the way it’s supposed to with the outcome of what you’ll get at the end and that’s what the the nba needs to be uh commissioner silver it needs to be an unmeeded with untampered with experiment in which you see the results come out to the fruition of what is supposed to naturally happen and i feel like that’s what’s happened this year especially if the pacers win tonight that will definitely be like that now if there’s some sort of funny business with the refs and guiding the story lines right at the end so they make sure the thunder wins for some whatever reason well shame on you if we can tell that’s what i’ll say shame on you if we can tell after uh such a great glorious season where everything seems like what i was just describing unfettered and unsessed with and the results are just naturally organically coming from this season that’d be great but if you decide to draw the last sentence of the novel for this year’s season and write it yourself adam silver shame on you because you’ll have ruined a very natural progression for this whole entire year of what happened with the competition in the nba and uh why do it now just let them play seriously that i love this statement less is more that means don’t [ __ ] with it just let them play and do what they do and that means the refs too james jimmy capers and josh tippen y’all don’t need to be trying to guide whichever team the nba may want on the download to win tonight let the best team win in a completely fair contest because we’re smart fans we can see right through when there’s manipulation and we don’t want to see any manipulation after a fantastic glorious season like this year we want it to end on the right note so please i plead with you don’t try to make any narratives tonight at the last second after really doing a good job of not doing that this whole playoff season seriously yeah amit’s here good to see ahmed i hope ahmed is safe and uh yeah there’s a really crazy thing going on right now over around on his side of the world right now and it’s not good it’s not good good morning everybody crazy night here didn’t get a wink of sleep i can imagine i can imagine of course the united states has committed something that is really bad as far as like donald trump has just done something that he should be impeached for he went and bombed iran without congressional approval and that is a big big no no with the united states in fact that’s authoritarian and dictatorship he’s supposed to get okay from the senate and the house before he can bomb anybody and he went and did it before he even talked to them so there if there’s any kind of justice in the united states he just did one of the biggest impeachable offenses you can do as a united states president you know i’m not saying anything about bombing iran or not whether it’s right or not it bombing anybody is not right let’s just put it that way but the fact that he did it without consulting the rest of the government is very very is very bad and yeah this is so bad because in some ways you know george w bush made some major mistakes with iraq well it sounds like and seems like donald trump who wanted to be known as the non-war president because he never started wars well you just broke your rule last night bro ah you can’t say that you’re like a peaceime guy that never had any wars going on while you’re president you actually just started a war and you did it in a dumbass way just like george w bush did back in the day and if the us is involved in a conflict in the middle east for decades to come because of this it’s your damn fault it’s totally your damn fault and you know what what did bush say back then it’s like fool me once that’s on me fool me twice that’s on you fool me twice that’s a well he didn’t even know how to say it but this is what this is and in some ways history repeats itself when ignorant dumbass people are in charge that do not understand history and how to repeat the same damn mistake so donald trump you just stepped in w’s mistake bro you just stepped in w’s mistake and you’re an idiot man absolute idiot absolute idiot all right let’s keep going uh saying “other than some two-way players and 10day contracts i know every player coach gm and president and i’m doing it for free if i was being paid i’d learn about a new sport.” see this is the thing ahmed is a sponge for information as a young man i was very similar to him when i was his age and you we didn’t have computers when i was his age we i wrote it all on paper i’d go get the annuals for the season and i get like the street and smith the beckets all kinds of different magazines that were the uh previews for the seasons and i would go and look over the rosters i’d pour over the stats i’d understand the rotations i’d write them all out in in handwriting on notebook paper that’s what i used to do when i was a kid and i totally get what ahmed is doing because he’s similar to me and this is the crazy thing he knows he knows the 10 days he knows the two ways he knows the gms and the presidents yeah that’s that that’s above and beyond so shaq what’s your excuse bro what’s your excuse uh espn people this kid he’s knowing it all way better than you man maybe you should have your job that’s what i say right there maybe he should have your job that’s right trevor’s saying they’re saying pascal’s trade to indiana gonna look bad for the raptors because he is in the finals who’s saying that and why do they matter trevor nobody saying that that matters that doesn’t make anybody look bad that makes the raptors look good i don’t understand how they think that makes it look bad why because we traded them uh we had to trade him i’ll go over this over and over again casuals that don’t pay attention to toronto that don’t understand why pascal had to get traded out of here well i’ll explain it to them again but i mean y’all all know it they’re not listening so do i need to explain it again i’ll say this trevor these people you’re talking about we don’t need to talk about them we don’t need to bring them up they don’t matter they really don’t matter this is all perception and whatever they’re saying that these are raptor haters they’re going to figure out how to hate us either way so who cares what these people are saying seriously trevor in some ways this comment is not necessary to be in here because they’re going i know there’s people saying like this everywhere all the time there’s people dumbass people saying this but once again they’re not informed they’re idiots and we don’t need to uh promote them further by bringing the garbage in here is what i would say they can say that but it doesn’t matter it doesn’t make us look bad it makes us look good because we drafted him in 28 made him into a huge level player and now he’s going to probably win uh he he’s an eastern conference finals mvp he’s all these other accolades i don’t know what why he makes us look bad once again he makes us look good if they really that they’re really trying to say that no he makes us look good because we made syakam into who he is and in some ways his his success going beyond is is messiah’s success we know this so i don’t understand who this person is do they matter no they don’t and i don’t understand why you’re echoing them here that’s what i’ll say a saying “i love the purple but i think if we rebrand a purple we will eventually get tired of it i remember a lot of people love the ovo jerseys when they first came out at first.” you know i don’t even care what people think about the jerseys anymore this is such a dumb subject it really really is dumb you know in some ways it’s like there’s always going to be naysayers and idiots that don’t like something about whatever on the on the team whether it’s the old the logo becoming like this you know a lot of people didn’t like the logo turn into this i mean i can understand in some ways it’s kind of dumb you know it’s there’s always going to be people complaining you’re never going to please everyone and i would say this keep the eras and the eras where they’re supposed to be that’s what i got to say to this and seriously people that hate the chevron so much get over yourself seriously it is actually a really good design and it’s just that you are bored with it or i don’t know what y’all want y’all just want something shiny new every all the time if you had your way we rebrand the team every two or three years it seems like you idiots so no a rebrand is usually comes every 10 or 15 years and that’s why these idiots are too quick on this the chevron era is still on right now the chevron era is on and the black and red era is on as long as the raptors say it’s on and the fans you know you can have your input they are listening and they will listen to you to an extent but it’s up to them in some ways we have a lot invested in branding and imaging for the raptors they don’t take the [ __ ] lightly that we the north we heard about what bobby said in the interview with hello and welcome about coming up with the slogan we the north they argued about whether it should have we are the north in there and they said no we don’t want to be grammatically right and make it we the north because it then it fit even better and it hit harder so listen they’re very serious about crafting the image of this team and some of y’all want to make us look like the barney’s again and i ain’t about it i ain’t bound there’s some purple up there yeah that’s from another era that’s from an era for old oldsters that watch the raptors the 50-y olds like me and uh 20 year olds i’m sorry you just weren’t here when we did purple i’m sorry you just weren’t so you can enjoy the nostalgia you can go back and look at the pictures of tracy mcgrady wearing a purple jersey that’s fine and maybe we’ll wear a purple jersey every five years or so how about that that’s the deal y’all i’m serious that’s how it is 35 year uh anniversary you’ll probably see purple again then but maybe not for a whole lot in between and that’s that’s the thing is that’s some way how to make it special that’s how to make it special if you want to do it every year have to wear purple every single game that ruins the specialness of it that ruins the remembering of the old eras of the raptors and uh raptors fans you just need to get over yourselves and stop once again people that are quibbling about trades and jerseys too much you need to shut up go get another hobby go outside and touch grass jesus christ that’s what i say this morning seriously go outside and touch grass and get into some other activities instead of quibbling and caring about the jerseys and uh the trade machine this summer oh my gosh put the trade machine down raptors ain’t doing nothing just chill we got brandon ingram we got badass rookies from last year we’re going to the draft on this week and just chill seriously the kevin durant jonas stuff has been all a [ __ ] thing that they want to test the loyalty of the raptors fans and y’all failed because y’all were ready to trade rj and yakob every which way for these guys scotty even you’re gonna sell out scotty to for giannis you’re idiots stop please stop just stop let the team be run the way it’s supposed to be run and y’all need to chill out is what i’m saying right now y’all need to chill out that’s right fiercely here good morning fam and happy sunday good morning to you fiercy salah always good to see you in the chat ahmed is saying and now they don’t like them as much and want the purple back yeah the ovo stuff is fine the black and gold is fine because in this era you know there’s still a little bit of um you know that is our motif we have done some black and gold jerseys over the last few years they’re classy the welcome toronto stuff has been great i i don’t mind that other look in some ways it’s a good look i’m just saying once again i’m an old raptors fan i’ve been a fan since they started and i remember how bad we were wearing purple and i feel like these kids that want purple so bad for our team they don’t understand what that could unleash as far as our winning percentage and y’all need to stop pushing this seriously seriously the purple heads need to stop because it will mess with our winning percentage in fact i will make connections with this year being a 30th anniversary wearing purple jerseys and us only winning 30 games this year so listen seriously we can’t do this we’ve had our most successful years wearing red and white and black and purple have been some of our worst years just trust me on this so raptor fans y’all can think about aesthetics and how it looks and childish [ __ ] like “i love the dinosaur it’s so cute a purple purple is my favorite color so i want them to come back.” no i’m thinking about the team winning i’m thinking about the team winning and maybe i’m a little superstitious maybe i’m a little bit like uh no i’m thinking about what’s best for our team to get the next larry o’brien y’all can go ahead and think about your look and your oh i i love how this really blings on me with the purple you can worry about that [ __ ] but i’m worried about the team winning and seriously that’s the thing that matters here doesn’t it it’s not about selling jerseys is it maybe to some people in the raptors but to me it’s about winning larry bryant’s so it’s like y’all going to have your purple but understand the winning percentage might go down is what i’m going to say right now we don’t we need all the edges we can get up here seriously come on now come on now that’s right that’s right let’s we got to get every edge trucker cass is here kicking my butt trucker cass kicking my butt good morning lex and the crew good morning to you that hand he’s waving to me is smacking the [ __ ] out of my ass bam bam bam beating me in the wnba fantasy absolutely mopping the floor with me and i can’t understand how did you get over 600 points this week i’m this is insane like that’s one of the highest totals this whole entire season so far and wow trucker cass above and beyond really rising to the occasion and taking out old lex the woodshed in the fantasy wnba that’s right that’s right fiery saying “i’ve been rooting for okc all along but that’s because i thought the cavs or knicks would be the opponent but man pacers are likable and they have peace skills.” it’s tough it’s tough i mean it’s really true like jussi said we can go either way and we’ll be happy seriously i’m not going to be upset if oklahoma city wins tonight and sga is the finals mvp and uh a man from hamilton is just the king of the nba world i have no problem with that it’s either way we going good the top two candidates for being finals mvp tonight are both people that we are associated with that we love and it’s going to show the international uh up coming up of the nba that either the mvp tonight is going to be from canada or cameroon probably now if there’s some convoluted way that tyrese hallebertton wins the finals mvp tonight well so be it that’ll show the hand of you know favoritism and [ __ ] and uh script writing like i was saying but i i i don’t see how hallebertton should deserve the the that that because honestly he’s dropped the ball in some ways and literally just not been there because he’s hurt it’s not totally his fault but this is what happens in some ways the guy who’s really carried seakum should win it if the pacers win tonight that’s what i’m saying man f is saying canada that’s right sga loot or uh nebart and benedict seakum demonstrated why he deserved the eastern conference finals mvp stay consistent sorry for the halley fans but it would be hard to justify giving it to him yeah he he really like in some ways i would argue the pacers might have already won this finals if hallebertton had not been hurt like if he had not been hurt they they might have already won the finals and they wouldn’t have lost that one game where he just didn’t show up at all yeah yeah i could see this i could see this i could see this good morning raptor freaks from stargate good to see you and trevor who is they yeah who is they who’s saying this that the the pascal doing well makes the raptors look bad no no no no no no no no no they can’t do this they gonna play it every which way in the perspective against us no you can’t do that no you can’t do that because listen if you’re gonna make the argument because we traded him well listen once again i’ll say we flipped the 28th pick and the same draft for the second pick we got the second pick in the same draft as pascal for the 28th pick we must have built value into that 28th pick if we’ve gotten down the road to this point 10 years down the road where we’re trading the 28th pick to get the second pick and a bunch of other stuff too along with that 28th pick that that second pick so no no no don’t give me this [ __ ] seriously how how do we how or did we mess up we flipped a guy we picked for the 28th and down the road we got the second pick a guy who was a value pick the second pick in the draft by the lakers named brandon ingram so i don’t get this the logic does not fit it does not fit stillman saying “good morning raptor freak family.” good morning to you rob good to see you man i wanted to talk to you last night but i was very busy last night when i saw you in the voice chat for a second there i just didn’t have the time to talk last night but i definitely wanted to catch up with you uh even though i couldn’t uh good morning raptor freak family all the nba analysts i heard say pascal will get the finals mvp if the pacers win yeah yeah and that’s just just that’s just just and they it’s good that they’re saying that already because it’ll brace everybody for the fact that when the pacers win he will be the mvp and they won’t be any weirdness why isn’t tyrese well because uh tyrese has been hurt and pascal’s consistently been there for the pacers this whole entire time and that’s it right there good to see you rob in the chat with us this morning stargate saying “i don’t care about jerseys i don’t care about salaries and contract terms and salary caps and all that [ __ ] i watch the game for the game on the play on the court point blank.” that’s it right there this is a man that’s got my interest at heart also as far as that is how i am too i’m about basketball i’m about x’s and o’s i’m about watching the game i’m about watching shots go through the hoop i’m about watching dunks i’m about watching rebounding i’m about shot shot blocking steals all that kind of stuff and uh all the extra stuff on the outside that people want to get distracted with or quibble about in some ways sure i’ll put my opinion on these subjects but in some ways what does this matter seriously 105 is the dunks total for stargate getting a dunk right there on this that’s right see pascal is getting a claps from fiery i like that all right let’s keep going with some of the tabs let’s do the straight goods on canadian goods today it is sunday and uh you know even though i’m a little feisty maybe cussing a little bit i’m trying not to call him crazy i’m sorry no swearing sundays i know but today i want to put on blast uh the priest not seakum we was talking about seakum was supposed to be a priest everybody talking about dark magic and i was like no man this guy was in seminary this guy is a man of religion this guy very much believes in god and it’s not anything like y’all are saying come on you know that back in the day the old televangelists that are on tv like creflo a dollar and jim and tammy fay baker they’d always be doing like things where they’re like “oh lord oh they do the roll up in their eyes too.” and they’re supposed to be religious and with christ right haven’t you seen televangelists roll their eyes in the back of their head when they’re on at 3:30 in the morning trying to steal your money come on now so it’s not like seakum is a demon or anything like that it’s just like those televangelist guys are doing the same thing like “oh i want you to send me your money seek money to me.” you know it’s the same thing but anyway the burger priest is a a guy who went to the seminary too apparently he’s from california yeah american guy started burger priest i was shocked by that this morning but burger priest is a burger restaurant chain in toronto started on queen east i remember when it started 2010 and uh it’s awesome i i’ve i’ve enjoyed burgers priest for a long long time and uh it’s a it’s a smashburger burger place downtown toronto there’s 25 locations here in ontario and there’s three locations out in alberta now too so it’s grown really well in the last 15 years but yeah the burger priest they have a secret menu that’s got all kinds of crazy mashups they do really crazy decadent burgers at the burgers priest but this is the same kind of story this guy who made the burgers priest was supposed to be here in toronto at a seminary studying to become a priest but it wasn’t really jabbing with him just like seakum with the seminary school in cameroon and he looked for alternative route in his life and well basketball for seakum burgers for the burgers priest and yeah that’s he got the idea oh i’m supposed to be a priest i’m gonna make it the burgers priest so if you want to support a good canadian uh company even though it’s an american guy who started it he’s here in canada and it’s a canadian company go to the burgers priest and get some of their gourmet crazy smash burgers they only use 100% canadian beef so that’s what i’m saying straight goods on canadian goods support canada’s economy and go to the burgers priest i’m telling you on a sunday on the day that siakum hopefully will be the nba’s priest uh nba’s finals mvp priest that’s what i’m saying right there there you go british priest that’s right stargate stand why is aaron rose pushing the derek queen on us his last few articles man geez he’s really pushing derek queen on us hard i don’t know what aaron rose is doing you know i i would say this he’s sports illustrated right sports illustrated is very much an american entity in some ways i don’t trust aaron rose like is he even from canada like he may be a plant that came over here and he’s just a a dissident or some sort of idiot that’s around our raptors media and he’s always that’s why he’s like lying to grady like they he did that one time he he said “oh said this about you.” and then grady got all upset he’s like “wait did he say that about me?” no aaron rose is lying he’s a piece of [ __ ] so i don’t trust anything aaron rose says that’s why i don’t list him as one of the news sources for our raptors because he’s not a legitimate journalist to a degree he’s a teeny bopper journalist that use tik tok and he’s a an engagement specialist who likes to use uh controversial takes and things to get more uh clicks and in some ways he’s not a real journalist if he’s a new age young generation journalist that’s coming up and this is how it’s going to be well i’m sad for the future and uh i’ll say this yeah whatever he’s saying well he’s probably just an extension of the [ __ ] uh from espn and sports illustrated bleacher report kind of people just he’s resides on this side of the border and he’s the inside guy on this side so i think that’s what it is right there yeah i listen that’s hilarious in some ways aaron rose you understand raptors fans are smarter than they ever been in the whole entire existence of the raptors franchise and we’re not buying this derek queen [ __ ] and you want to try and push it on us yeah well people like star and i we understand what you’re doing bro and we you know your credibility fails when you push somebody like this now you there may be dumb raptors fans that are following you and saying “oh this is great we want derek queen.” well we seen the combine we seen the taxes comment and bobby has too and uh aaron rose if you’re such an intelligent raptors insider you should understand bobby webster a bit better that this is probably a no-go right here now if the raptors draft eric queen all of a sudden and at nine i’ll be like “what?” well we’ll have to see we got to trust bobby and messiah for some reason on that well once again i don’t know deep down inside exactly the five that bobby webster has ready for wednesday in the draft at number nine he has a list of five he’s revealed that and uh i don’t know is derek queen one of those five probably not aaron rose and you’re just leading raptors fans into misinformation disinformation [ __ ] yeah i don’t know why he’s doing that man well maybe we do know why stargate if we really think about it brian’s here what’s up freak nation good to see king to the point i’ll be burning the candle at both ends doing the show this morning and then later tonight after the championship is done after all the stuff that’s going on brian and i were already talking about there’s a lot of stuff that we have to watch afterwards and then do the reaction it’s going to be a late night and we’ll be doing another postgame reaction to game seven of the finals the final game of the season will be tonight and we will watch it i saw a funny meme though that had scott foster’s picture on it saying that he’s showing up tonight and there will be a game eight and i was like that’s so hilarious scott foster was the ref tonight and they’re like there will be a game eight that would be the craziest thing like if scott foster was retiring after the season he’s like guys just for one more time y’all we’re going to do something crazy in honor of scott foster we’re going to extend the finals to a game eight because the extenders retiring after a season and we just have to let him do what he does so well in a really weird inexplicable way that doesn’t make any sense this game is tied at the end of game seven we’re going to game eight because scott foster is the extender i don’t know that’s weird as hell man brian sam and roach is such a hack yeah he really is and in some ways like i’ve lost respect for him like a couple of times like you know he’s very disrespectful to the players on the raptors like the way he talks to them he talks down to them and he’s also very nonchalot like man he should not have a press pass seriously i would not let that man be anywhere near the raptors if i was messiahing them because that dude is a joke he’s a jabroni and uh you know i’ve heard him be very disrespectful with his questions towards the raptors you know a few of the press guys are like that you know that little cackling mike hot mic moment that happened at the end of the season well that’s the kind of [ __ ] that aaron rose is like little little dip [ __ ] you guys think you’re funny but y’all in some ways that hot mic moment made us realize just how much you guys are snobs and in some ways you look down on the raptors and their players and i i i i can’t stand you guys for that you guys get the access to talk to them and you treat them like [ __ ] you’re disrespectful to them these guys are awesome they’re very nice people if they’re going to be raptors they’re good people now if they were jerks if they were uh players on the hornets or something like that i’d be like “yeah i treat them like [ __ ] because they’re jerks.” but no these are good dudes that the raptors are they don’t get into our team without being good quality people so stop being disrespectful to them in the interviews uh raptors media because y’all are very disrespectful to them at times and i want to [ __ ] slap y’all when i hear you guys being disrespectful to them and ars yeah i’ve wanted to [ __ ] slap you many times over the last few years i really have i really have yeah star saying benny hinn and kenneth copelan that’s right these guys are on tv doing this like they’re the maker like they’re summoning something they probably more demonic and satanic than seakum yeah these guys benny hinn kenneth copelan creflo a dollar uh you know that one dude with the gray hair that looks like jay peterman who’s always on at like five in the morning you must come in and give me the money he’s always making faces like he’s flatulating like they made like a funny skit of him like that like it was like where they made fart noises over him and went viral on the internet yeah that’s what i’m talking about right there it’s like those dudes do the crazy eyes all the time like we must find the power of christ in him send me my seed money you know that kind of [ __ ] yeah yeah yeah let’s see uh brian saying i can’t take si bleacher report and clutch points seriously you shouldn’t you shouldn’t because first of all they’re not paying attention to us like we are king no they’re not and they’re not experts they’re not understanding because they don’t put the effort into actually paying attention to us so when people like brian scalabbrini get on the radio and say i don’t totally understand about what the raptors are doing sometimes these people are not understanding because they’re not paying attention and they’re not even putting the effort into it it’s not because they we don’t know what we’re doing it’s just that these guys didn’t do their homework and their homework the assignment is they going hand it in so i don’t know what they’re doing because i didn’t bother to do the work that’s what it is right there so it’s like your channel my channel we put in the work so it’s like we we’re more reliable than these people when we’re talking about the raptors seriously because they’re not paying attention we are and uh we on this channel like a magnifying glass every single thing we’re paying attention to here that’s right infamous is here to see raptor freak infamous holding it down a long time raptor freak a salute freaks while he’s not perfect i definitely prefer silver stern how soon we forget how racist stern was which many players at the time called him out for a middle finger to stern i don’t remember that i don’t remember david stern being that racist can you tell me exactly why you think he’s racist that’s interesting you know i thought david stern’s a better commissioner and the reason why is because you know the nba was more entertaining this is the thing i judging these guys on how the nba is is it entertaining is it something where i want to i’m very invested and excited about like i am about today’s game you know that’s why i’m saying we’re getting back the old feelings right now of how the nba used to be and you know i mean if david stern had issues as a person in certain ways i know the thing i always knew about him is he’s like a mobster it’s like basically like he’s a highle lawyer and he’s a sha shark and he’s a very tough dude like you don’t want to go against david stern he will [ __ ] you up and uh there were a lot of things that tried to come at the nba uh in the time when he was in charge and he was a shark and he had them off and he took care of them like any kind of threats to the league in any kind of way david stern was very protective that’s what i know i know that about him and i know that he had a ruthless side to him behind the scenes but then there was also the side of him in public too but yeah i i want to see what you guys are saying like i i do want to understand why i don’t remember what david stern was racist about like seriously what was he racist about i may be a story that i’ll you’ll tell me and i’ll be like “oh that’s right.” i do remember that now but i don’t remember i don’t remember why he get that label uh exactly stargate saying “i know them all.” lex i used to be into that nonsense pat robertson robertson pat robertson’s 700 club joyce mayor paula white yeah yeah i don’t know you were into it because you were like looking at it and stuff like that’s why i caution folks about going with this uh born again christian thing i used to be one and i mean heavy you know i think that i think that once again that religion and christianity is very powerful and important and people should keep it very personal and the they should be worried about people that may want to use it as a tool to control you that’s the problem is that you know christianity and belief can be used to control the masses and uh especially with different really bad uh priests and uh televangelists and people like that that have selfish gains in mind instead of like being good for everybody and uh you know that’s why i think that like people should start with a base of spirituality for themselves and maybe read the bible themselves and be kind of more private in their own religiosity and they that’s more pure in belief and being christlike and understanding i mean it’s good to have the fellowship of going to your church and if you have a local church with a very kind preacher and different people in involved that do it for the right reasons that’s fantastic but you get on more massively organized religion there’s a lot more question marks and red flags there you know you want uh your congregation to be in the image of christ and that’s humble and uh you know kind of u not grandiose not flashy not like flashing watches and having planes and mansions like some of the televangelists so it’s like yeah i think that once again religion christianity gets a bad rap because there’s a lot of people making it look bad on a major scale in big ways but when you get down to the personal belief in the individual that’s where it’s really special and important so it’s tough it’s tough it’s like a you know you know there’s a lot of very religious people on this that frequent this channel and i believe that most of them do it the right way in the right with the right way that i just described you know what i’m saying that’s uh stargate saying most people down in the states who talk about the raptors don’t have a clue about this team it’s its players nor its fan base yeah well they don’t they don’t have any idea about canada itself you know you got people that have never been to canada talking all about how they know this about canada and that about canada and these people don’t know jack [ __ ] about canada they really don’t it’s that basic it starts with that xenophobia it just kind of just oh canada is all the stereotypes that i was brought up to believe here in the united states just like i have the stereotypes of mexico i believe i have the stereotypes of uh china that i believe i have the stereotypes of the whole continent of africa that i believe you know that’s what it is it’s just lazy stereotyping and i know because growing up in the states i grew up in classrooms with people that had no idea what canada was about and they bullied and made fun of me and said all kinds of stupid [ __ ] that they thought canada and they thought they were funny i was just like you know what you don’t know what you’re talking about you’re idiots yeah i don’t know michael j fox and no i didn’t fight a polar bear to get my mail this morning you know that kind of [ __ ] there was a lot of dumb stuff some of it was harmless like what i just said and some of it was really cruel and mean too at the same time you know one of the things that um people don’t talk about is in the south the word canadians is um is also a term used for like black people it’s really crazy the racist started using instead of being able to use the n-word they started calling all the black people canadians down south as code for like uh so that they could be racist out and open in public without sounding racist yeah all these canadians been moving in here in the neighborhood and so they just they just they started using our name as our country for code for like being racist towards black people down there it’s crazy man seriously i and i was around that when i was little when i was growing up so all right let’s keep going with the chat let’s see

street in soul south korea that’s where kelly is uh slim duck is quoting mike tyson he’s saying “it’s good to get to your hit rock bottom because it’s beautiful.” because the struggle of coming back up is what it’s all about he’s like “yeah don’t be worried about being at the bottom it’s good that you’re at the bottom because you can come back up.” is what mike tyson’s saying interesting that that is what chris is thinking these days there is chris with his child his child is funny yelling and screaming and uh it’s looks looks more and more like chris which is awesome i love that i love that really really cute kid never assume because assuming makes an ass out of you and me yeah chris has posted that maybe i assume too much and i’m too much of making myself and chris an ass at the same time when i’m assuming what he’s doing for free agency either way that’s funny chris is uh highlighting that jon jones officially retired yesterday ufc fighter jon jones officially retiring and chris is making note of it wow is what he’s saying and also chris is saying “you cannot become who god called you to be without first dying to the old you.” that’s a very interesting statement colin castleton is putting on blast jordan tally for being assistant men’s coach basketball coach uh for uh uh the team i’m not sure what team that is is that uh duketsz or something like that i don’t know either way scotty prince had his camp yesterday guys out of missaga we back with all the kids scotty uh you know always having fun getting amongst the kids for his annual summer camp with the kids and we haven’t seen scotty a whole lot this summer he’s been very quiet on instagram and uh he hasn’t been doing twitch that much he got on twitch for like a second at the end of the season but that’s it and uh yeah it’s it’s scotty’s been kind of mia for the last month taking his off season to himself probably with his child his mother and the rest of his family and uh well he had his summer camp yesterday in missaga and the kids came out in full effect scotty loves this event guys he really loves this event jay nathan is out but he’s got a tropical cafe smoothie tropical smoothie cafe smoothie essential is what he’s saying essential norman pal going over more while he was in monaco watching jordan lloyd play he had to come by and see his friends daniel ty is a very close friend of his apparently he said that they met on the clippers and that they they got very close like ty is his dude um and then jordan lloyd of course he won a championship with on the raptors and he was very happy to watch jordan lloyd excelling in monaco playing in the game and he’s hoping that daniel will get healthy fast but yeah it’s really funny to see norm and monaco at the game talking about jordan lloyd and daniel ty very very cool and of course norman’s doing all kinds of uh photo shoots while he’s in cans in south of france and he’s talking about it on there was like i love this place i’ve come back here the last three years and hang out here in the offseason it’s just my vibe he just loves the south of france so norman’s a guy who loves south france better than las vegas in the offseason right norm better than las vegas and that gym that racist lady who told you get out of the gym that was some messed up stuff that happened a couple years oh he got a clippers cake somebody sent him a cake and it’s got uh it’s got his picture and the clippers logo on the side of it that’s interesting that looks like some really fancy fondant fondant there yeah wow look at that cake and then some ladies in the understand the grind gear and she’s running up and down putting on blast to understand the grind there you go raptist 905 having a a summer reading challenge yesterday and you know this is really interesting i don’t know if this means anything but it looks like dylan du was there but also um kevin o banner is back in toronto and he wasn’t on our team we cut him and he went to uh the pelicans gleague team last year but for some reason he loves canada so much in the 905 because he’s not technically 905 but maybe he will be again next year i don’t know it’s weird but kevin oanner was back in toronto at mlsc launchpad last night with coach andrew jones at this reading uh event coming in just talking to the kids i’m impressed with that kevin oanner like seriously i didn’t think you were anything to do with the raptors and the fact that you come back up to toronto to do this event with raptors 905 as an alumni of raptors 905 but not necessarily current player luke quinn are you bringing kevin oanner back next year because this is what it seems like this man’s at mlsc lost launchpad yesterday that’s what it seems like to me that kevin oanner is still 905 stripes was there wearing his 905 jersey bombing threes yeah yeah and uh of course they’re reading reading and this was a really cool they had an author come in and actually read their book to the kids for the reading is fundamental summer reading challenge that’s a wrap stripes and kevin oanner and coach andrew jones there also he brought his kids down there to the mlsc launchpad coach andrew yeah really really cool event great to promote the the reading and there’s kevin with andrew andrew you gonna be coaching kevin oanner next year because i feel like that might be true why is he here right now i mean seriously that’s going above and beyond man that’s not even your team right now bro the toronto tempo event at stack looked pretty stacked with people good stuff going on the it was the pride event for toronto tempo it seems like stack’s going to be their go-to place to have events outside they had the court set up and they had the queer dimes down there shooting shots and they’re playing horse and there was open court and lots of talking about basketball and basketball and uh you know interse intersectionality with uh queer and lesbian gay people in basketball so yeah very cool event at stacked yesterday hopefully it was nice and sunny and no rain and uh you know maybe not too hot there is a heat advisory in the gta right now so yeah it’s quite hot already today it’s good uh yeah some good stuff at stack yesterday with toronto tempo having their event yesterday grady dick is in uh bahamas with carla and they’re riding on the back of a golf cart in hopetown bahamas so grady’s living that life that fast life and shamshay’s putting on blast a clip of chris buchet working out on house of highlights where he’s attacking the rim more uh putting the ball on the floor i don’t know if chris has a new side to his offense that he’s bringing out for next year but shamshay’s putting it on blast on his instagram that chris has got new bag of tricks there you go there’s the instagram check for today on what’s going on right there boom goes the dynamite that’s right trevor saying “your own nationality of people skin tones can be very racist to you too.” yeah i mean this is something that i remember from studies when i was living in florida in florida and i went to florida state i studied sociology and you know we we studied things about race and you know uh there’s also famu in tallahassee where my dad worked which is one of the historically black college universities uh in the united states and uh you know there’s a lot of studies on skin tone and the darker your skin tone is uh the more likely you may be have racism against you from other black people who are more light-kinned and uh you know seakkum in particular you know he probably is an easy target for some black people to be racist towards just because he’s well one he’s from africa he’s not a black person from north america and then you know the darker your pigment sometimes you get more racism the darker you are this is just the truth but you know in some ways look racists are can come in all shapes sizes colors ages uh everything and uh it’s all bad no matter who it is and in some ways you know look i i would say this the person that gets bullied will bully the other people sometimes too and that’s not right if you’re getting bullied and you’re taking out on somebody else to bully the next person you’re part of the link of chains that’s doing this and it’s you know you know just because somebody may be racist or bad to you doesn’t mean you should turn around and do it to somebody else who may be lower or not lower but u maybe in your mind somebody like you know i can get away with doing this to this person because they’re even darker than me you know that doesn’t seem right at all all racism is awful and wrong and uh you know that’s that’s what i’m saying it’s an interesting point that trevor’s brought up though because in some ways some of the stuff that’s being said by seakum right now that may be borderline racist is being said by black people seriously which is crazy which is crazy stargate saying eric calls blue jays games he’s actually pretty good yeah yeah he’s been calling him more recent years and he’s really enjoying it you know he’s really really enjoying it i like when our raptors people cross over and do blue jays matt delin’s done a bunch of blue jays games in the last couple years um but yeah yeah eric smith he’s a longtime radio and sports analyst for toronto and well he knows his blue jays that’s good yeah stargate san trevor prejudice not racist racism is system of power see the definition of racism put forth by dr francis crest welzing google her and dr neilie fuller there you go that that is a good and proper distinction prejudice discrimination and racism in some ways is like more systemic and uh on a macro level is kind of what it is and the and the act between individuals is more discriminate or prejudice i have a prejudice as a person towards other people i discrim i’m discriminating against these people you know it’s this kind of stuff that kind of stuff all right let me keep going with the tabs we did kind of look at raptor’s reddit earlier i really do like the city edition jersey i’m so happy they’re not doing a rebrand i know a lot of other people are upset about it but get over it maybe you’ll get your rebrand next year or five years from now who knows who knows when you can get it yeah uh they got a list on raptors reddit uh with the nonallars who spent the most time on the court as raptors this is a rich interesting list morris peterson’s number one he played 16,000 minutes as a raptor and wasn’t an all-star jose second andrea banani is third so let’s look at that man we got a lot of minutes out of andrea he was on our team for 14,000 minutes man i’m just saying uh uh let’s see yonas is on here fourth alvin williams is fifth amir johnson sixth og anobi seventh doug christie eighth terrence ross ninth and the 10th player is damon statomire and these are all players that did not have allstars but had the most minutes playing for the raptors that’s an interesting list that’s those are really great players on there really really great players uh let’s see what else are on here who do i want to win the nba championship on sunday i’m gonna pick the pacers let’s see what the results are 454 votes for the pacers to 177 for the thunder so raptors fans are squarely behind seakum and indiana today overall it seems like that michael graange has come out and said for sure and this is great i love this michael graange fighting the good fight for uh uh the raptors for once that this is exactly what he said and i love this man i i did not realize that graange was fighting the good fight for us sometimes he said this in case you missed it reporting a key fact regarding any raptors trade speculation if a deal is said to include yaka purle it’s not happening simple as that also some deets on pending contract extension for the big snitchell so in some ways graange as the right-hand man of ed rogers he’s coming out and he’s putting out a a press saying that jakob purle is not getting moved and that we’re actually reinvesting in him that sounds like that is going to happen because grange is rogers dude and uh rogers is in charge and if rogers has got grange saying that purle’s off the table he’s not going anywhere he’s not going anywhere and we’re about to sign him to an extension this all checks and thank you michael grange for using your power for good right now sometimes you use it for bad and well you’re using it for good this weekend and telling all the raptors nation that if you hear a trade rumor that has yaka pearl in it it is false it’s not going to happen because he knows from inside and working for rogers that it’s not going to happen and in fact we’re going to reup with the big schnitle as he calls him the big schnitle the big schnitle yeah yeah starting saying that’s colorism but not racism racist is totally different thing yeah we we should get the terms right and yeah yeah yeah yeah we should get the terms right on this but it’s kind of the same action in some ways but not totally not totally there are some distinctions that need to be made the stargate is pointing out right now yeah for sure all right birthdays today we have a birthday of a former raptors champion is their birthday today and it is danny green guys danny green is 38 today happy 38th birthday danny green former raptor of the green room uh yeah danny green’s awesome he’s doing his broadcasting career is fantastic you know we we i thought he was going to do broadcasting afterwards he has a communication degree he’s well spoken his podcast was really good while he was still playing and danny green being a broadcaster after his playing career totally makes sense now norman let something slip the other day uh in an interview uh yesterday that i read or i saw that norman pal said that when he’s done playing the nba he’s going to play in europe he said that straight up on this clip he said uh when i can’t play in the nba anymore i’m going to be coming to europe to play professionally after my nba career so if anybody’s wondering what norman pal’s plans are uh well when the nba says you’re too old and you can’t play here he’s going to go make some money and play in europe because he loves it over there and he’s all about doing what jordan lloyd’s doing right now so just just to pass the information along in case somebody missed it norman pal said straight up after i’m done in the nba i’m coming to play in europe i’m coming to play in europe so that’s pretty interesting i’m saying i love both the big schnitle and schnitle so you like eating schnitle yeah schnitle is pretty good uh when i went to austria i ate a lot of schnitle when i went there one long time ago yeah so the schnitle thing kind of makes sense i went to austria and i ate a lot of schnitle and they’re calling austrian yaka the big schnitle yeah yeah schnitle’s good i like eating schnitle myself too uh sergey saying “draft in a few days guys who will be our new raptor?” man i hope it’s common we’ll have to see although commonmen in some ways is getting dissed in some ways because he’s such a project and he’s so raw it’s just really the frame and the the lump of clay that you get to hold that’s attractive about him he does not come ready to go he really doesn’t he’s going to be a project no matter what but you know the potential and what’s going on with common malaw watch man man now i’m really worried well i’m not worried i feel like the nba experts are hiding ace newell like asa newell is a very very high level player but they’re trying to downgrade him or downplay him because some teams are going to try and sneak him in the mid- teens in the first round so i would say this once again messiah and bobby do not hesitate if common goes earlier and asa is available at nine take asa newuel seriously do not hesitate because honestly i see what’s going on with this kid and all the the things that they’re saying that are wrong with him they’re the same things they were saying that were wrong with scott when he came into the league oh he can’t shoot that well he can’t do this this is all stuff we’ll work out later the other stuff that he can do so well is the important stuff and the stuff that he doesn’t do well this is stuff he can get good at as he comes to the nba and gets better and better so yeah the detractions about asa newell to me aren’t enough to take him out of possibly being our ninth pick seriously do it just do it don’t think twice bobby if you don’t get common get asa just trust me on this just trust me on this ahmed saying common worst case scenario in my opinion is nerland noel with the potential to be a shooting rudy goar yeah yeah that sounds about right amit that sounds about right yeah nerland noel big bust not doing anything with his career at this point and well rudy gobear that can shoot that sounds amazing that sounds amazing yeah the rudy goar comparison on defense is there and that’s why it’s so intriguing about the possibility of him being in a raptors jersey oh yeah yeah i’ll be all about having malawatch on our team oh yeah i would yeah yeah yeah that’s interesting what the perceptions are all right let’s do the classic card we’re moving right along today on a a quiet sunday morning on the finals game mvp mv uh finals game seven mvp day that’s right this is a weird oh this is a cool card this is tough this is a tough card i don’t know if this one all right classic card of the day guys who is this y’all it’s a classic skybox card and there’s a red herring in this card you might might think it’s a certain player for the magic but it isn’t it’s kind of crazy so yeah who is this classic card today full name answer please if you can get it reggie theus that’s a funny guess that is not reggie theus we’re talking about skin tone uh reggie theus is close to the skin tone but not exactly the skin tone uh yeah it’s not reggie this guy wasn’t an original magic this is not from the this guy wasn’t original magic but he was very shortly after magic started in some ways this is a hard card i’m going to say this right now this is a red herring in some ways y’all may think it’s the announcer for the magic right now uh but it isn’t that’s who i thought it was at first when i saw the card i’m like that oh i know who that is but it’s not that guy which is kind of crazy let’s look at it up close yeah let’s see if you guys can tell who is this classic card original m it’s not original yeah he’s a white european guy he’s not european but he is white yeah yeah that’s a classic classic yeah it’s 1990 skybox original uh and it’s weird because this guy barely played for the magic so this is not an easy card because he did not play this is a 200 point card because this is very very hard i’ll show the back of the card even because it does have a better picture of him and i don’t know if you guys will get it this guy’s an american white guy he’s not a european white guy if that’s what you’re asking omit it yeah this guy look at the little white streak in his hair you know this guy i think he was more well known as a laker than as orlando magic and even then it’s not like he was uh uh you know very well known i would say this that this guy has almost the same name as the lead singer of sugar ray you know sugar ray you know who the lead singer of sugar ray was you got his first name in the part of his first his last name too yeah if you know who the lead singer of that david hasselhoff hairdo yeah i guess it is kind of like that fiercy look at that hair he looks kind of like the one guy from uh the simpsons or the guy who’s uh from tracy almond who they did the league of our own uh tv show and he plays like jimmy dugan who tom hanks plays i forget what his name sam sam something he’s like on he was uh he’s an actor he’s in a lot of comedies but yeah no who is that his name is the same as the the lead singer of sugar ray except uh the first name and the first part of this uh the last name is the same as the lead singer of sugar ray that should give you enough of a clue right there you guys know sugar ray every morning every day yeah that that guy 90s song yeah uh sugar ray you guys know sugar ray that band i don’t know i don’t know man man this is a tough classic car it’s like pulling teeth where are my guys slugged easy and uh smooth because honestly in some ways this is the last classic card of the season guys this is the last trivia points you can get for this season because the larry bryan’s going out tonight and tomorrow we start over with our fantasy point totals so this is the very last card that anybody can get for this season right now you got to get it if you can get the points if you don’t i’ll keep the points for myself i’ll keep them for myself but nobody knows who this is y’all don’t know the band sugar ray seriously sugar ray think about the lead singer and what his name is i think he was like a a correspondent on access hollywood too yeah that’s the guy i’m talking about right there stargate that’s his last name but think of yeah yeah what who is this that’s right who is this this guy right here he kind of looks like nako the nacho a little bit in the face like this is grownup naco when he’s like 46 or something like that that’s weird man yeah yeah you got the right guy stargate that’s the lead singer of sugar ray if you got the first name and the first part of their last name then you should know who this player is that’s right that’s right this guy you would think this is jeff turner that’s what i want everybody was gonna say jeff turner that’s jeff turner no it’s not jeff turner it is not jeff turner uh orlando magic announcer who still does the games with david steel for the magic it was original orlando magic player for the team in their first expansion year jeff turner no this is not jeff turner this is stargate you should just get it now because you know who the lead singer of of sugar ray is come on now let’s get this figured out i i don’t want to do this for too long because i want to get this done come on now amit you can figure this out right maybe you should google amit maybe you should google i’m telling amit to google on this one to finish the season because nobody getting it nobody’s getting it yeah you can’t see his number so you can’t really figure it out by the number you’re gonna have to google sugar ray and then you’re gonna have to google nba players that have that that kind of name kind of uh together yeah man i didn’t realize it gonna be so hard seriously i guess this is like one of the hard classic cards we’ve ever had that uh we’re stuck on it like this come on y’all come on who is that that is not gerald mayhew is not gerald mayhew looks like it could be in like 40 years i guess i don’t know that’s a long time from now they’d be 60 or something like that i don’t know yeah all right y’all aren’t gonna get it glenn mcdonald no but the mick is important the mick is important no no who’s the lead singer of sugar ray omit look up sugar ray the band and find out who the lead singer is you’ll have the first name of this player and then you’ve got the mick which is on the next donnie mcgrath no the lead singer of sugar ray is not donnie mcgrath no mark mcnamara is the right answer yes thank you geez mark mcgrath is the lead singer of sugar ray and mark mcnamara is the orlando see we see how quick amit can google it after he checks it there you go amit you can get 200 points that was like pulling teeth man what was that ow ow i wish it wasn’t so hard seriously so amit’s gonna get the last classic card of the season mark mcnamara is the answer amit 200 points to your uh fantasy total or your trivia total for this year good job good job i’m proud of you all right i’m at an hour and a half i’m going to go ahead and get done right now get done yeah you want 2011 why do you want 2011 is there any particular reason uh yeah yeah you guys don’t know mark mcnamar is i’m sorry yeah he’s a really unknown player yeah yeah you want 2011 is there a reason let me know if there’s a reason why you want 201 points i’ll do that i’ll put you 2011 why not 2011 for amit on the classic card uh and you don’t google players well in some cases this was the case before cuz i’d make the trivia really hard if it got to the point where no we were struggling so hard i would go ahead and say “go ahead and google it.” so in some ways ahmed had the right to go google it at that point because i just wanted the segment to end right just like somebody get it please please yeah no no reason you just want 2011 all right i’ll give you 2011 you get one more that’s right all right let’s get out of here guys thanks for watching the sunday report i just want to reiterate the point that this playoff season has been one of the best playoff seasons in recent years uh maybe in like the last six years uh since the raptors won and uh that it’s because the parody of the league the unpredictability and the lack of script writing by the nba and trying to funnel things to a certain outcome for what they want and that’s been so much better for the league honestly and i’m i’m really excited for tonight’s game to the best team win that’s the great thing it should be the best team wins the nba championship so somebody needs to prove it tonight tyresese halbertton can you prove something seakum uh sga you gonna prove something how about you jaylen williams you’re gonna prove something tonight we’ll have to see that’s what it’s all about pure competition and to the best team that wins game seven nba finals 2025 let’s go let’s see what happens tonight that’s right that’s right uh started saying “how do you think i won trivia last year?” yeah he did have to use google to a certain extent and he’s very fast at looking it up but most part i’d rather people not use google it’s kind of like maybe next year i’ll be doing like okay you guys can google now like i just did now but normally i don’t want people to google or look up anything just kind of go off the top of your heads if you can yeah let’s go raptors that’s right that’s right stargate let’s go raptors all right i’m out y’all i’ll see y’all tomorrow for the monday moment which is going to be celebrating the championship whichever side wins we’ll be celebrating the championship with either side and the canadians that get the larry o’brien so yeah come back tomorrow 9:30 a.m for the monday moment on the rap freak channel the streak continues that’s right i googled for the first half of the season second half i was already leading by so much it didn’t matter yeah that’s kind of how it went i was like i was trying to regulate the googling with you guys and amit was very respectful of what i asked him and uh because you could tell when he was doing it more off the top of his head yeah yeah see you fiercy good to see you fierce good to see everybody today and i’ll see you guys tomorrow let’s go raptors no yakob trade
