  • In this week’s episode of Open Gym, veteran Toronto Raptors forward Thaddeus Young returns to Memphis, Tennessee, the city that shaped him, for a game against the Grizzlies. From growing up, to giving back, Young shares his basketball journey which has spanned 7 teams, 16 seasons in the NBA, and multiple business ventures. A leader both on and off the floor, Thaddeus and his wife Shekinah bring their two boys along for the ride - boys that can’t help but put a smile on the faces of everyone they meet.

    Thad is one of the nicest NBA players I’ve seen (on screen of course). I really wish him well.

    Good Husband, Father and Vet Thad. Keep doing your thang!

    Thad Young is the very definition of a Player-Coach. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see him as an Assistant Coach in the League after he retires. I like that the Raptors have invested in having so much extra coaching on the team for the younger players to help in their development. I think that it will all pay off in the years to come.

    An absolutely Class A indiviidual in all respects. Very impressed that he finished his degree and got a master's too. And his kids are great too - no surprise.

      He can be a part of the ciaching staff. He is not giving us nothing on the court. Did you see last night. Not even leadership was displayed when he was the vet on the court.

    Thad is such a beautiful soul and we are very fortunate to have him on our #Raptors! And what a wonderful family he has as well. I hope he stays with us in some capacity once his playing days are over.

    I love Thad but he's starting to become a liability. He can now play the UD role - a bench vet and voice in the locker which is his current greatest strength. In result, more minutes for the likes of Barton, Banton, Flynn, etc.

      @@Bandicoot19 Don’t put yourself on blast if you don’t want someone to reply. Walker Kessler has been groomed since a kid to play a monsterous defensive centre style. He has very limited room for development he has peaked out! I have not seen Brahman play nor do I care. Koloko is raw af only playing B Ball for 5 years. Now I’ll stop talking.
