It's pretty cool what they're doing, playing ball with everyday people. Great stuff. Although they are going to kill every one :lol:

3 years of over priced gym memberships there and they had to come the year I move to Toronto? bastards. Joey Graham went there once a few years back.

The new face of Toronto basketball, these two alone are going to create quite a number of new fans if they keep up these "antics"

Props to them.

Sidenote, when are they doing the tights downtown? or has that already happened??

If success doesn't come along with the antics, I can see the fans turning on the dynamic duo quite quickly.

Well yea there is that.... winning trumps all, but I still think their attittude and the way they are enjoying Toronto will become endearing to casual fans around the city.

I always thought there were points in every NBA players' contract banning them from playing pick up basketball due to the chance of injury..

I was obviously wrong.. lol

I live 2 minutes away from Pavillion, and used to play in the leagues they used to run. So I'll probably make an appearance. Some of my buddies were heading to play there tommorow night either way.

We'll school them!

I'm rooting for you but for some reason I strongly doubt that :lol:

Sag off them and force them to shoot 3's. But then again, I'm sure they'd still have no problems getting to the rim and I'm assuming that the 3pt line at the Pavillion isn't NBA distance.

It won't be pretty, thats for sure.
Forcing them to shoot from long distance probably is the best strategy but even then, they're probably stronger, faster, and 10x more skilled than anyone who plays there. You could make it 3 vs. 1 and you'd still get crushed. Unless of course you have some really high quality ballers there.

Good luck, but don't undercut them. If you're gonna get dunked on then just go with it, nothing like an injury to ruin a good thing.

Can anyone go in to watch, or do you need a gym membership?

I wasn't gonna go but if fame is making an appearance I will definitely be stopping by.

This reminds me of when Devin Harris was schooled by that kind of nerdy British guy who was wearing jeans.

Except he wasn't some random nerdy guy, he has a well known streetballer who just happened to be white and wearing street clothes.
