Today on The Ave Podcast, I invite friend of the Podcast Headley, & first time guest Randall Walter (Etobicoke Thunder AAU Coach), as we discuss the current state of the Toronto Raptors. We break down their window to win now and if it can be enhanced by potential moves, whether or not they still have (or can shake) the perceptions NBA players have about the city and the organization, the Dime Theory, “#ClubEtiquette“, plus more.

Today on The Ave Podcast, Big Brotha Curt (1st Guest of The Ave & #TheStoop) & DJ Chris Nice (Grooves & Rhythms Mixshow; Fridays 2-4P on MyLime Radio) join me to discuss the One & Done era of College basketball, how the system needs to be changed, and we also ask the question: Is it the right time for All-Americans to start thinking about attending HBCUs (Historical Black Colleges & Universities) during their one season? We cover it all here.

Today on the extended version of #TheStoop: A Mini(Podcast) Series; I swap war stories with Headley (Co-Host of The V.I.Players… Podcast), about the days when wearing No-Named sneakers during our childhood was the norm, otherwise known as The Shitty Shoe Era. Not as damaging as the Crack Era of course, but heartbreaking nonetheless. We break that down, as well as the time when we got our first named brand shoe, plus explore if it’s possible to put out a great shoe at a low price point in today’s sneaker industry.

Today on #TheStoop, we have some fun & bring you The Caribana Rundown, a general guide to a successful Caribana, as we celebrate one of the biggest weekends in Toronto.

Today on the season finale of #TheStoop: A Mini(Podcast) Series, Soca sensation Ricardo Drue joins myself and DJ Chris Nice as he discusses his path as a musician, the evolution of Soca Music, where he sees the genre going, how he plans to leave his mark, how his major hit “Vagabond” ended up on DJ Khaled’s latest music video, plus more.
