Thanks for having me on.

Excited to chat a little rap with you.

Thank you so much.

The check's in the mail.

It's good.

I'm in my 28th year as a broadcaster for the Raptors.

My first game was Vince Carter's first game in Boston.

And the guy on the other team making his debut was Paul Pierce.

So two Hall of Famers.

And I actually coached against Paul Pierce when I was the head coach at Niagara.

We played Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse.

Needless to say, we got our ass kicked.

But it was pretty cool to watch those two guys start their career.

And obviously, being with the Raptors that first year with Vince...

The Raptors the first three years had a tough time as a franchise.

But he honestly put Toronto on the map.

It was literally like traveling with...

you know, the Beatles or Elvis.

So whatever, whatever way you want to describe it, it got to a point like when he won the dunk dunk contest and those first few years, it just absolutely took off.

And it was just so, so I'm very fortunate that I kind of hitched onto that wagon.
