As far as I know there were no videos made, but full audio is available. It is worth the listen though - they had just the right mix of trying to make it feel somewhat legit (PBP with color and a guy down at ice level), but still making a mockery of the entire thing.

100% Agree! 45min in listening while I work and man, this is hilarious. Definitely worth a listen.
The PBP kind of reminds me of the PBP in Dodgeball.

This is terrible. It would be one thing if this was only streamed over the internet but they broadcast this over the airwaves?!? The FAN wont spend 30 seconds talking about the NBA but they air this junk. The decline of local Calgary sports radio continues.

In talk radio, the viewers drive the bus. If people truly wanted lots of NBA talk, they would do it. Colin Cowherd one time said people ask him why he doesn't ever talk hockey. He said anytime he would, the numbers just drop for that segment.

I’ll speak on behalf of Boomer and recommend you throw your computer out the window as well!
There were no Flames, Hitmen, or any other local sports that were happening. Lighten up!

This is absolutely fantastic. This type of tournament should become a regular and national event. This is how you knit stronger ties between communities in Canada.
There is no understating how important this tournament can be to Canadian unity.

I personally thought that it was hilarious and the number of one liners... the opening set the stage “ game from father David Bauer arena where there are literally dozens of drunks in the stands”.

All they did was have some fun with their target group of listeners...no one was hurt by it, particularly anyone wanting NBA talk (something that can be found on this station most hours of the day BTW).
