Am I the only one who has no interest in standing in that crowd while nba play spray champagne on me?
Not at all

I'm in Miami. Getting downtown on a regular day is hell. Parade? Fuck it. You might as well rent a room down there and just spend the day.
I don't see the thrill

This man will never get the credit he deserves ever.
Nah Igga is definitely a HOFer. That finals MVP on top of all his other achievements will definitely get him in there. Not sure if it will be 1st ballot but it should be. Dude made the Sixers semi-relevant for a hot minute. Helped carry a Nuggets for a season. And then all the rings and accolades with the warriors.

The media and casual fans might not see it, but true basketball heads know that Igga had a great career and left a mark pretty much everywhere he played.

I hate that the Lakers gave up Ingram in that trade. He would he been able to learn a lot from playing with A.D. And he was just starting to develop into a decent big man. If he puts on some muscle he could be a problem in the post.

No way they have the cap space to go after Paul now, but does anyone know if they could swing Kemba. Lebron, A.D., and Kemba could be a deadly line up, assuming Kemba is cool with controlling the offense more and shooting less.

How they know they was black.
Welll. It wou

america has corrupted them

They were black. She is the Wendy Williams of Toronto lol. She found out the identity of the Kawhi Leonard look-a-like that was signing autographs at the parade for example.



It's a bit of America and a bit of the West Indies mixed in. Most black people in Toronto are either from the Islands or their background is from the Islands. Some are also from the US too. These two talk about it.

Naw....the biggest culprit is gun craziness in the US.

Gun smuggling from the US is a big business.

President Donald Trump may be concerned about Canadians smuggling shoes over the border, but according to renowned crime specialist and author, James Dubro, footwear should be low priority when it comes to border security.

According to Dubro, it’s incredibly easy to obtain a gun on the streets of Toronto, and up to 50 per cent of them are smuggled across the border.


“I think the biggest threat to Canadian security vis-à-vis guns is the proximity to the United States,” he told CityNews.


“Obviously the United States is a gun happy nation as we all know…and it’s so easy to get guns, there’s hundreds of thousands of gun shops, you can buy them online.”


Dubro says criminals are “endlessly resourceful” when it comes to smuggling guns into Canada


“They look for vulnerable spots in the border and develop routes, one is through native reservations,” he said, adding that gangs are also known to rob gun collectors.


According to statistics CityNews obtained from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), there was a marked spike in gun seizures in the Greater Toronto Area between 2016 and 2017.


In 2016, border agents in the GTA seized just two guns. A year later, they seized 112.

Despite the spike, Dubro says agents are waging an uphill battle.


“You can only spot check these things, you can’t check every piece of mail or everything crossing the border, it’s just impossible.”


“There’s no way of stopping it,” he added.


The end result is more guns on the streets of Toronto, many of which are used in brazen shootings that have made headlines over recent weeks.


“You can get (a gun) anywhere downtown,” Dubro ominously stated. “The fact is anyone on the streets who is in crime can very easily get a gun in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.”


According to the CBSA, the most guns seized in 2017 (235) came from the southern Ontario region.


That doesn’t surprise Dubro.


“I remember a few years ago I was doing a story about a hit-man in Hamilton. I interviewed him in jail, he went to jail for three murders. I asked him where he got his guns. He said ‘that was very easy, I went to Niagara Falls (New York) went to a gun shop, bought about ten guns, stuffed them in my trunk and took them across the border.”

And Instagram and YouTube. Clout chasing.
I guess after winning a nba championship they feel part of the culture now.

Yeah, I notice a lot of the Toronto artists rely heavily on IG or youtube to promote themselves. It may be due to lack of infrastructure with industry and them not really building with platforms. They rely way too much on worldstar too which doesn't really let viewers get to know them through interviews or so on.

It creates the "look at me" craze and posting for the gram.

Truth be told, the gun smuggling epidemic started LOOOONNGGG time ago in the 90's. It's just that after 2005 they started to pay much more attention to it when they had what was called "Summer Of The Gun". The Toronto Sun did an article about this I remember. The cover story was about a Jane and Finch rap group by the NAME "Smugglaz" (the group on the right).

They were one of the first guys I remember seeing from Toronto on worldstar. Worldstar removed their video after complaints of it causing flame wars with different cities from States leaving comments about Toronto.

These guys are pretty much the forefathers for the new breed generation with the likes of Jane and Finch rapper Pressa who toured with Drake last year. The Toronto Sun ironically did a cover story on him attacking Drake for bringing a criminal on tour.

Remember when I told you dudes he wasn't going to be shit and he was more concerned about video games than basketball...and I was told I was exaggerating.
