Donnovan Bennett and JD Bunkis deliver a one-stop shop for all your Toronto Raptors talk and take listeners around the NBA with assists from the biggest names—and one-of-a-kind characters—from across the Association.


Here’s a quick rundown of the podcast:

JD and Donnovan recap a brutal West Coast road trip and decipher how the Raptors defence can improve and agonize over the replay reversal of the game-tying three-point attempt by Terrence Ross versus the Sacramento Kings.

Donnovan talks to former Raptors point guard Jose Calderon about his experience with the Spanish national team, his adjustment to being a backup with the Los Angeles Lakers and why he still considers Toronto home.

The guys finish the podcast off talking about the hot start that Andrew Wiggins is of to and debate his level of commitment to the Canadian national team.
