Doesn't he live in Miami. Just voted worst place to live in America.

But then if your rich you can live in a toilet and feel good about yourself.

Probably had to shoo the bums sleeping on the beach out of his "winning" picture.

It's sad that our most exciting news is just that re retain an iffy star we already had. I like Demar, but I wish we would actually make a big signing, one that would improve the team a lot.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Mark Jones obviously suffered some sort of traumatic psychological experience during his time here. He needs to resolve that issue.

I still think someone he looked up to probably said go back to your own country and it scarred him for life.

Mark Jones tweeted this after the Raps were eliminated by the Cavs. He generally only posts like this about the Raps and not about the other 26 teams below the Raps.

i dont even understand what that means

Essentially Antonio Davis had a huge issue with the metric system... But we haven't changed systems, so I don't know what makes this city any different today than from the time he played here.


It's still hard to imagine this was actually a real thing.

She also got into altercations at basketball games with fans when Davis was playing.

He married a crazy woman who told him what to do, things fell apart when the NBA ended and now he's trying to justify his reasoning for leaving Toronto; which was most likely his wife's crazy thought process.


I remember after he was traded, and after malice at the palace, he had gone into the stands to protect his wife. The league was lenient on him though.

I also remember the raptors had her doing a series at half time looking at other raptors homes. That was the raptors trying to appease her too. Something was definitely up with her...

This is awesome! :D

If you're rich like Mark Jones, then South Florida is great. But if you're poor, it's not much better than many Caribbean islands. A friend of mine moved back to Canada after a decade in Miami. He got fed up with the gun violence and the racial tensions between white, black and Hispanics.

Mike Broussard did say that Demar staying was the best move. Demar was quoted as saying something like. If he was on the Lakers he would just be a number in Lakers history. But as a Raptor he has a chance to be somebody that some kid wants to chase after. He wants to build his own legacy.


Yea I remember Davis kept complaining about our schools for his kids, and even now he is saying there is internet (maybe hinting at online US schools?) when Canada has a better education system :lol:

Yeah Antonio doesn't seem too bright. Panel should have asked him to spell "gun control" or "universal healthcare".

I remember a story about workers at a car plant down south who had to be taught with pictures cause they couldn't read. Maybe that's what he was complaining about with our education system. He was helping his kids with their homework and there were no pictures.

This idiot has so much hate for Canada and the Raptors and if you tweet at him anything in response he simply blocks you.

I tweeted him yesterday : Thought you said Demar was gonna be a laker? Keep hating the north from the south while you're from the north. Got blocked for it.

You're surprised he blocked you for trolling him? I mean, I hate the guy too, but if you're trolling a person who isn't your friend you can expect to be blocked.

The guy just hates Canada for some reason, period. I've never seen someone so disgusted with where they came from. I'm half Belgian - never been there in my life, and don't really want to live outside of Canada - but I'm proud of my heritage. I would love to know what Canada did to make him hate us so much
