KayvonTV goes to The Toronto Raptors “Red Rally” @ The Air Canada Centre before the NBA Round 1 Playoff game vs the Orlando Magic
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008KayvonTV meets NBA Hall of Famer Moses Malone before the 76ers take on the Raptors at the ACC.
Sunday, April 20th, 2008The NBA playoffs are fast approaching, so I thought this would be a appropriate time for us to post an episode featuring a memorable encounter that I had with NBA legend Moses Malone, that’s right folks, the “Mailman” himself.
Moses Malone was a first ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer and was named one of the 50 greatest basketball players in NBA history.
He was a 3 time NBA MVP, 12 time NBA All-Star, and ranks third all-time behind only Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points scored. He was also the first player to ever go directly from high school to the pros, whem at the age of 18 he signed with the Utah Stars of the now defunked ABA.
Needless to say I am a big fan of the Mailman, so it was a real thrill to see him in the flesh boarding the team bus before the Philadelphia Sixers faced the Toronto Raptors at the Air Canada Center.
I wish he would have been a bit nicer to me, maybe signed an autograph or two for me, perhaps like his former teammate (and current Sixers coach) Maurice “Mo” Cheeks was.
Well you can win them all Folks, after all this is Toronto, where even megastars like myself can’t score Raptors playoff tickets!!
GO RAPS!!!
KayvonTV.com investigates the New Jersey Nets and the trade of Jason Kidd
Thursday, February 14th, 2008It was a great treat to have Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and The New Jersey Nets in Toronto to face the Raptors at the Air Canada Center. With the internet buzzing with reports of Jason Kidd’s trade to the Dallas Mavericks, I decided to find out for myself if it was indeed true. It was a fantasic day for me as I got to met guys like Darrell Armstrong, Jason Kidd, and Makic Allen and find out for myself what all the buzz is about.
