Loyal To The Game - 613 University

SPECIAL RELEASE PODCAST.  The crew reflects after the thrilling triple overtime game between the Raptors and the Heat.  Then the guys share their personal Greatest Of All Time lists of players, teams, and performances.

Special Guest Coach Pat Kabeya joins the podcast to discuss everything going on in his basketball universe.  The crew also try's to explain the up and down Raptors season, we highlight some Canadian Women in the NCAA, and make a case for RJ Barrett and his ideal role with the Knicks.   

Our first episode of 2022!  The guys discuss the NBA storylines so far this season including the ultra competitive MVP Race, the Warriors resurgence, the Canucks getting buckets, the importance of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell to the Jazz, and plenty more.  As always, we wrap up with a check in on local hoops.

Also please take the time to help our ELITE athletes return to the court by signing this petition to recognize OUA & OCAA student athletes as such.

Thanks for staying Loyal To The Game!

Plenty to catch up on after nearly a month hiatus.  Coach Caleb reflects on a busy summer of hoops including a couple of AAU tournaments the 613 Spiders attended.  Then we catch up on everything else that happened in the basketball world.

The guys discuss the 2021 NBA Finals, before an in depth conversation about the NBA Draft: who we like, what to look for, and which member of the pod thinks they are an expert on this years draft class. Then you won't want to miss a great interview with Waterloo Warriors lead assistant, Coach Kevin Barnes.  Coach Barnes covers EVERYTHING basketball and shares plenty wisdom about the game we all love.

Jack, Jayden, and Caleb discuss what players, teams, and coaches have changed our opinions the most for better or for worse based on their NBA Playoff performances.  The guys take the reigns for the Rockets, Cavs, and Raptors and make a case for what they would do if they were the GM of each franchise on draft night.  We end with our takes on the potential NBA rule changes set to be implemented next season.

Jack, Jayden, and Caleb are joined by the sneaky athletic Thomas Davies to celebrate some of the lesser known names of the 2021 NBA Playoffs.  The crew embarks on a very unique fantasy draft style podcast that is certainly one of a kind much like many of the unheralded players that were eligible for this "Scrap Heap" draft.
