Incredible stuff guys. Love Freddy and how candid he is. Nothing but respect for that champion.
Great interview
Absolutely amazing interview!! Fred VanVleet is a Canadian sports icon. 12 points in the fourth quarter of Game 6 to lead us to the 🏆.
We love you Fred.
I’ll never forget how FVV took our team hostage for his gains, but I must admit.. He’s a heck of a businessman.
I miss Fred man. Just having a mature dawg/leader on the team. We got nothing like that at all.
Fred's always real. Great get guys. Wishing success for him and Dillon.
Sick interview guys! Brought alot into perspective from the what ifs.
what a goat
Selfish player always will be selfish. You cared more about to get paid than care about the team. It’s funny to see Fred blame Nurse.
such a good interview, super chill sure theres swearing etc but man it makes it so much more real, real ppl being real
I love when Alex pulls out the Throwing fits intros
Freddy forever, man. Respect to the Prez!
Damnnn Freddy, u kept it real! Seriously. thanks for giving raptors fans some closure and give us insight to what exactly happened..
Fred always been a G. Sad it ended the way it did. But he’s cemented in Toronto. A true raptors legend.
Fantastic interview gentlemen. And I stuck around for the banter afterwards lol.
Btw, Fred is right, Scottie fan boys are toxic to Raptors nation.
Great interview guys. Fred is always well-spoken, wish him the best.
Fred and Bobby best interviews by far from H&W
Freds surprise guest is Ben Taylor 😂
Fred!!
What an interview.
been watching you guys for years and when you talk about watching these guys grow up and grow into the league, i feel the same way about your content alongside it all. congrats on an amazing interview.
man freddy so real. great convo. fuckin love H&W interviews
👏👏👏 As always, you guys do a fantastic job keeping Raptors fans engaged. Funny, informative with a home grown Toronto feel! FVV is highly intelligent on and off the court and deserves more credit. More than deserving of his role as NBPA President. Solid interview gentlemen! 👊🏽
Speedy recovery to Fred!
Guys this was amazing! Miss that group! I'm having trouble even cheering for the Raptors anymore! I started following Pascal and the Pacers after he left! Watch some of Fred's games and OG's games. Miss them so much playing together. Sorry, but the current Roster aint winning no chip!
Real talk. We did this man dirty here in Toronto. I've been watching the Raptors since day 1, and Fred is the real deal. Miss you, Fred.
34:10 Will you killing me hahaha
I love Fred and have fond memories of working as a Toronto consultant in Rockford Illinois – and am so grateful he brought up what was going on behind the scenes, and the business background, because some of us sensed that but never commented much on it, because – at the time – nobody in the usual social media was really talking about it. 🙏🏻👍❤️❤️💝
11/10 interview. Great work boys.
Man this was so tough. Fred is a such a G!
Fantastic. Miss Fred's smart, candid takes. Great dude. Great get and interview, guys
