Hoops N Hip-Hop Podcast #11

School. Work. Sleep.

That's the routine over here at Hoops N Hip-Hop Headquarters. But to quote DeMar, the plan is to go H.A.M. moving forward. Here's the 11th episode of Hoops N Hip-Hop. In the meantime, save a kitten by liking our Facebook page.

Hoops N Hip-Hop Podcast #7

So if you haven't heard, the second semester for schools are well underway. In my eyes, that means two things:

1. Early mornings
2. The return of Hoops N Hip-Hop

DJ Johnson and I are back in the swing of things with the one radio show that brings you everything that has to do with the Toronto Raptors, the NBA, and the music culture that goes with it.

Hoops N Hip-Hop Podcast #4

What's up readers (and passerbyers) of the GamePointBlog.

To bring up what some have taken the time to email me about, I haven't been able to put in as much work into this blog due to the Hoops N Hip-Hop project. Combined with school and a new part time job, and you can see this kid is feeling the pressure. But no worries, the plan is to switch gears and get this going.

To assist with that, I'm going to include all blogs, podcasts, and videos associated with the Hoops N Hip-Hop show with the GamePointBlog.

A lot of really cool and big things planned. Thanks for sticking with me, and keep the emails coming!

Meanwhile, here's the official online upload to the 4th show of Hoops N Hip-Hop. It was our "Throwback Special" and was hosted by myself and DJ Johnson.

The Ex-Girlfriend Tour

Orlando, Florida - November 12, 2010
Miami, Florida - November 13, 2010

If I could make a spiffy looking shirt with these tour dates on the back, I'm sure I could sell a few while waiting in line for the next Raptors game.

Vince was always criticized for smiling too often during games, especially those of the blowout variety. But now it all makes sense. Maybe he knew something we didn't.

With the Raptors making their first visit to Orlando this season, along with their first ever look at the Miami Heat, Raps fans will be treated with an interesting clash of the old and the new.

So what exactly have our former flames been up to lately?

Well Mr. "Air Canada" recently found himself grounded.



While CB4got to get involved last night...




Being realistic, the Raptors lose the next two games and fall to 1-9. To some fans, that's good news as it would bring us one step closer to a top 3 pick in next year's draft.

MEMO To Future Raptors Franchise Players:

It may be sunnier in Florida, but it's definitely not always greener. In fact, do yourself a favour and stay a couple more years than you'd prefer. If T-Mac had done so, he and Carter would have formed one of the most dynamic duos in the modern NBA. And if Carter had done the same, he and Bosh would formed an excellent wing-big combo that often works well.

Failure to adhere to this advice may lead into choking two pivotal free throws during the playoffs, or admitting you look lost on the big stage.

Just sayin...
