Fine. Last one then im seriously crashing. It was sometime in 2003, my first year of uni when i came back into the city to visit my folks. I was visiting a friend at his building at Yonge and Front St to smoke up. We end up hitting this bong that he had just purchased and named "LeBong James." Anyways, im set to leave his pad when I hop in the elevator and who is standing right in front of me? Kevin O'Neill. It was all too quick for me to process so I must have had a gawking look on my face for a split second and then played it off. He sort of mustered a smile, rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and then the top of his head as he looked up toward the ceiling. I said something along the lines of, "500 man. We'll finish strong though." I dont even think he processed what I said but replied with a "yup", making no eye contact. I go, "live in the building?" he goes, "uhh, no, just visiting a friend." "A player?" I asked. "umm, no, just a friend." He replied.

At this point I didn't really know where to go with the convo and luckily the doors opened. He stepped out and so did I, even though I was on the wrong floor. (dumb, i know). I started walking the opposite way down the hall to play it off like I had an idea of where I was going. When i looked back i saw him closing a door. I quickly scurried to the door that had just closed and put my ear to it. I heard a woman greeting him and a few muffled words. Then, silence. The door literally whipped open and, because I was leaning on it with my head, I stumbled forward in toward the room.

I look up and see an ENRAGED Kevin, now making direct eye contact. We are talking furrowed brow and beet red in the face. The girl just looking at me like im weird or some ****. I quickly start stepping backward saying "I, I didn't mean to..." and before I could finish, he literally started pushing me and threw a couple of punches, one landing square on my jaw. The girl was frantically pulling him back toward the condo door until she finally got him in there and they locked it.

I ran 5 flights of stairs back up to my buddies place and told him the story and he told me that I was out of line but that Kevin could be sued for hitting me. To this day i seriously regret not sueing the **** out of him. I could have had Raps courtside seats for life or something!! What a prick.

Tommorow I'll tell you about Antonio Davis. I used to live at Yonge and York Mills right by his home and when he had a new front door being installed, I played like i was working with the installation company to have a convo with him and it worked. Ill tell more later.

I ran into Jack Armstrong once outside the ACC. He was a nice guy and talked about the Raps for a bit.

Jack should do all the games.

I don't hate on Leo as much as most. Yes, I think his little side stories are stupid and annoying.. but he's actually one of the more knowledgeable commentators and usually calls the game without homer glasses on. It's nice when you hear Devlin bitching about a call and then Leo kinda puts him in his place

Firstly, Devlin has way more respect around the league than Leo. Leo walked into the Raps job by fluke because he was the only Canadian to play in the NBA who was around when during the inception of the Raps.

Leo used to pick on Chuck Swirsky all the time. Call him small and bald. Not everyone can have the golden lion locks of Leo.

He never picks on Matt Devlin like he did Chuck. Probably one of the reasons Chuck left. He never mentions Leo; Leo probably was mackin' Chucks wife at an XMAS party and that's what caused their falling out.

When I got back down I quickly darted around to see where he was. When I finally spotted him in the produce section, I very non-chalantly began to act as if I was selecting fruit from a nearby bin. I slowly crept my way over to him and said, "WHat do you think about Bargs goin into this season?"


The Main Event wrote:at the last second i squeeze myself between the girl closest to lebron and himself. You could tell for a minute that he was stunned but I played it off.

Wade was loving the fact that the couch was now tight because this sexy blonde was basically having to sit on him. Lebron was buried in his phone at this point. I kind of poke my neck out and lean over his shoulder, look at his phone screen and go, "checking your fantasy teams?" and started laughing.


Oh man, the ego's!! What a bunch of anti-social douches.

I know Devlin is well-respected and I like him as much as the next guy, but you have to admit he goes a little overboard with wanting fouls sometimes. It's like he's posting on RealGM when he's calling the game :wink:
