    Was truly inspired by these trips down memory lane. As a parent of an athlete I must say it was humbling to realize the different generations of basketball excellence here in our community. I look forward to enjoying more and joining along in this journey.

    We Love your podcast. Wondering if you are planning on having Harbir Bains on the pod at anypoint. Sikh player who finished top 5 in scoring in Canada, mens national select team, Canada west Allstar and now coaching the #2 Ontario U15 girls team. Basketball shaped his life and he is passing it on to youth every day. Seems like a no brainer. Would love to hear it. Keep up the great work.
