I thought Jamal Magloire was still around the team. Player development?

Should have been fired years ago. Never represented or associated with Canada until he was desperate for a job.

I didn't appreciate him getting techs from the bench. He ain't good enough for that.

According to his Wiki page, “Basketball development consultant and community ambassador with the Toronto Raptors”

As was reported before the season began, he’s no longer part of the development team (otherwise obviously you would see him on the bench). He’s simply a community ambassador for the team and shows up at various charity events sponsored by the Raptors.

As everyone said a community ambassador right now for the Raptors. They had a SSH event around Xmas where you could take a picture on the court and also see the locker room and he was there for photo's with fans, very nice to everyone who approached him.

I remember he was a pretty big deal for tdot, being an all star and all.

Also remember him being considered in a trade for Morris Peterson.

He's well spoken he should join the telecast crew

Maybe he can convince them to not drain all the sauce from the chicken before they put it in the roti.

He did for a few games many years ago. Sat in on the TSN Panel in-studio. Dude was pure class and respect. If any ever had a bad interaction with him in public.....I assume they were the problem.

Put him on the Raptors show with Will and Blake. I was trying to think of an ex player who would do a good job.

That's not true. Some of these guys take PR classes. Most NBA guys I've ran into were good guys. But some were nasty to me, without any justification. James Harden was the worse, and I'm not even a groupie.
