Host Cathryn Naiker interviews Alex Wong on his new book Prehistoric, The Audacious and Improbable Origin Story of The Toronto Raptors. They talk about how Alex beautifully illustrates a parallel between the Raptors being new to Canada and yourself being new to Canada. The significance of the Raptor Mascot. It's funny how nostalgia works because everyone has these fond memories of what was otherwise a challenging start to a franchise. Why do we feel that is? Isiah Thomas was our first GM but I don't think the Bad Boy Pistons, era ever crossed over. Who was your favourite role player to watch? Does Alex see the NBA expanding outside of the U.S. again? Perhaps Vancouver or Mexico City? There's been a lot of talk about Toronto not pursuing a WNBA team after the successful pre-season game back in May. Now there are talks of Tanembaun or other people outside of MLSE possibly pursuing it. Do we think it's probable? Why does Alex love the Raptors? Raptors Hottie Highlight of the week goes to Scottie Barnes dancing to the Succession Theme song in San Antonio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Raptors 905 Head Coach Eric Khoury joins host Andrew Damelin to take us through his incomparable journey from engineer whiz-kid to the NBA. A lifelong Raptors fan who was born in Toronto, Khoury profiles some of his favourite Raptors as a kid (WARNING: lots of Antonio Davis love). We dive into Khoury's thirst for "knowing how things work," which may have led to teachers not being so fond of him. Then we re-live Khoury's unlikely entry into the Raptors' analytics department, and how he grew to gain not only a wealth of basketball knowledge, but an ability to impart it onto players and coaches alike.Important aside: after we finished recording Coach told me "you're a pretty smooth podcast host."

This week Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Sportnet's Vivek Jacob. We break down the James Harden Trade. What does it mean for the 76ers and the Clippers? Who do we think comes out on top? How will Harden fit with the Clippers roaster, will Westbrook come off the bench? P.J. Tucker is an underrated pick-up for the Clippers as well but is it enough to get them past the Nuggets? On the 76ers side, they move past this saga for now but they're not done. What will Morey do with their new draft picks and players? The In-season Tournament is about to start. do we think this will be good for the league? Will it create more competitive basketball and will casual NBA fans care? Early NBA reactions. Who's on top and who's struggling so far? Then in our Raptors homer moment, we react to the huge win against the Bucks after a dismal loss to the Trailblazers. IS this effort sustainable? How do we feel about the adjustments that are being made overall and do we think it's made an impact on the overall culture of the team?
