On a side note, I thought watching today's Raptors broadcast was aggravating to say the least. We get that everyone had ties to the guy, but when there wasn't a full minute going by where they were constantly talking about how down both teams are, it really was time to switch to CNN or whatever to watch the coverage. Certainly they were slow at the start, but at the end of the game when SA came back from 20, you mean to tell me both teams don't care about the game? It was solemn moping and to me you just wanna watch the game in peace with the obvious pointing of the elephant in the room, but to talk about how down the players are every minute which substantially too much, especially when you had the beginning of the show which addressed it, and the intermissions as well. Anyway, peace to the family, because it was many lives cut too short.

I mean it's not every day a literal legend of the game dies at 41 years old in a shocking, surprise accident. Maybe just suck it up and power through the commentary.
