Customer Reviews
Finally Canada Basketball
Finally Canada Basketball is getting the coverage it deserves. Alex is doing a great job.
Samson
Samson has the best vocab in the game bar none. If you’re looking for elite X’s and O’s combined with the odd well-placed literary reference he’s your guy
Samson Folk
I think Samson does fabulous game analysis. I also think his other shows where he brings in other experts in NBA is really informative. I really hope Samson goes places and gets a Toronto media opportunity at some point. I guess he would have to be willing to leave Mexico🙂
Great Work Samson!
