where i grew up despite it being canada you couldnt find one kid that liked hockey over basketball or soccer..

Without Canada Basketball wouldnt even exist! #justsaying

Canada basketball is in a real good place. Love it.

Pointing out that by claiming this city loves hockey and hockey only. You’re erasing alllllllll the wonderful people of colour that have gravitated towards basketball in the last 20+ years.

if your city doesnt have a basketball team its probably trash.

and now a couple of toronto bloggers make it to nba tv.. pretty big basketball year for this city. #movingonup
— i. adan (@Imman_Adan) October 2, 2013
also the big companies need to hire more basketball people. there are far too many smart basketball people in the city. the coverage is getting better but my goodness still so far from where it should be.

why couldn't i be born in a city with a good basketball team?

So lemme get this straight…Basketball was invented by a Canadian and the first NBA game was played in Toronto, yet this is a hockey city?

If the Raptors win a championship within the next 5 years, and the Leafs don't do a damn thing….Toronto will be a Basketball city
— Jordan A. Hayles (@MR_STiXX) October 12, 2014
Toronto's becoming a basketball city faster than expected, and I'm loving every moment

You ain't real if you didn't live in Toronto before amalgamation

You ain't a real Scarborough nigga if you never lived there before Amalgamation

It finally happened. Before there was Raptors Twitter and #RTZ and #WeTheNorth, there was @_NopeName and I holding it down for the struggle. Damn near 10 years later, the first meet pic.twitter.com/wR04tHahqw

Spread the love at halftime: Raptors Twitter is well aware that @_NopeName is royalty.
But for someone who's been tweeting as long as anyone to now being a host of a podcast and appearing for outlets like @yahoosportsca and @HoopTalksLive, the rise has been hella fun to watch.
