Alex is a downer
Lol, I feel like Alex dragged Will's enthusiasm down by the end! What was Will's enthusiasm level before and after the pod?
Why are people watching this video? Such unprofessional approach. Just remember how wrong these two will be about what have they've said here in this video. All will dependent on how Quickly will start and develop from the first game.
Big love for CCYAA 👏👏
We have our side of the Vince story. I.e. He forced his way out. He has his side. I.e. Dysfunctional organization that were wasting his peak years. Athletes are on a biological clock too:-)
More sensible progression: injury reserve, to chosen, to starter, to all nba.
1:34 where tf can i cop that sweater? That is dope🔥🔥🔥
I’d be pumped if we sneak into the play-in. Fingers crosed🤞🏻
VC jersey retirement against 76ers - game 2. That should be fun. 29-53 record. Lock it in. A ton of losses under 6 points.
Biggst fan love you guys
I luv how Will snuck in a Montreal massage
Where do you get those hoodies from? Especially the black one
Kelly cannot be the team back up C. It will be Bruno. Kelly will be only like getting 15mins if he is getting beat on D, can't grab rebounds, not hitting 3 consistently unless you want the team to lose more games. Did you see him in the few minutes he played in the Olympics? He was horrible.
As they are constructed 2 interest in team as organization. 5-6 for player development, 9 for the 2025 draft and 7 for BB trade.
17:06… 😂
Alex is such a downer, thank god for Will's optimism. The Yak slander was especially uncalled for. Also, he's straight up wrong about the Kings trade, it was 100% a fleece. It's a great trade for getting either Portland's 2nd next year OR the pick we used on Shead. It's even a good trade if all they got was a complete buyout of Vezenkov given McDaniel's player option. To get all those things? C'mon Alex.
If I traded my dime for your nickle, do you call a fleece? Are you jumping for joy?
So nobody is gonna point out that Alex is just straight up wearing a towel for this whole episode???
I’m so glad yall are back together to do a new podcast
It's the Raptors 30th anniversary in 2024-25... the fans deserve to have a winning season!!!
Looking forward to this season, nothing is guaranteed, but with the low expectations, it easy to exceed, if they do not, then people can say I told you so, all the way to the draft
Dang! Love those bball footages! We need more of those. Makes or lots of misses! 😂
It would be cool to see a bunch of the old school raptors players link up with Hello and Welcome for some interviews or something like that
Y'all want some Roblaws or Grand Theft Ontario Tees? I'll send you some.
11:43 i like how will looks at the ball while dribbling, never take ur eye off that thing u dont know where or which way it could bounce
Got the Jalen McDaniels handle
Thanks for pod as always. Ulrich's documentary is here www.nba.com/watch/video/episode-1-small-village-big-dreams
Btw it’s pronounced Edin-brah, Scotland (I think lol) beautiful place
RJ is the only reason I started watching the raps again. Stopped watched after 2019 championship because I knew the products on the floor were pretenders rather than contenders for years, no offense to siakam, FVV, OG. I was honestly surprised at the narrative that IQ was the major piece we were trading for and RJ was the throw in. IQ was the spark plug off the bench, while RJ was the third option on a playoff team, while also was the one with the hype coming into the league. RJ was clearly talented , hard working, and was always professional, so the toxic asset narrative reported by raptors news outlet were just incredibly off. I am not surprised at RJ playing well, I’m surprised at the disrespect by the supposed “experts”.
sounds like a bandwaggon
You can call it whatever you want but I followed the raptors during the arujo years. Watched the team rebuild during the DeRozan and Lowry era which was super exciting. Bummed we never truly gave Sonny Weems a chance by signing guys like Linas, Hedo, and eventually Landry field to replace him. Am I a bandwagon or am I just not interested in pretender products that make fans believe they’re serious about winning when they’re really not. Do bandwagon fans hop back on for rebuilds such as last season? The team got worse but now I have something to look forward to with this team.
will casually palming a basketball to start the pod
new glasses 🤓
We got ochai cus we already had the 31st pick and didnt need the 29th
Plus it save the team some $$.
The Andrea Pasta trade was the biggest fleece.
What a great way to start my morning cardio workout 🙌🏼
Friends is the people you see when Fri ends - Will 6ixman Lou
0-17 is lowkey funny 😂😂😂😂 no offence to Giannis he’s a great player but damn 😂😂
2 years away from 2 years
i fcks with you guys
I stopped watching when you started talking about the third arm. Indeed there is nothing else to talk about.
A generational talent is a once in a generation talent. Meaning someone so talented it'll be another 20-30 years before you see someone as dominant in terms of skill. These are athletes you would generally consider as true G.O.A.T.s eg Gretzky, Lemieux, Pele, Messi, Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods, MJ, Lebron, Shaq, Curry, Usain Bolt, Ohtani
The banter pod is shrinking
If you win 3 Mvps you're generational. Why ? Because how many players per generation win 3 Mvps lol
People were yelling out "Stojakovic" back in the day. Was he a generational talent lol?
alex is a toffeeman, respect to everton the peoples club
generational talent criteria needs to include the culture imo. kobe and iverson changed how ppl view and played the game. a huge contribution to a generation being inspiration.
August and September is always boring without NBA Basketball. Wish its october soon

The podcast episode is over two hours. Not sure why the YT video is so much shorter but looks like this one is condensed heavily. Edit: rest is audio only! specified at the end of the video so go listen there.

Darko needa be fired if we suck next season 😂
Haha always a fun times. Less funny when not talking ball though, to be honest. Cant listen to banter pods and happy you give warning. Also dont really appreciate your inclusion of your politics. Maybe when your on a legacy media station like thefan it has done kind of points ir something to push narratives. Like hearing you guys, that dont actually do any research to know if your even factually correct, push masks and mandates and crap on players or people that dont . I know you think it is justified and dont really care about the harm that is caused by your hate, but just doing a minimal amount of back ground checking would clarify the reality. So i cant let you go on any of that
20:29 😂
I'm 95% a podcast listener, but when I see this vid I appreciate the production. The camera switching does really help to make it more interesting and audio is always great.
