I talked to @orenweisfeld.bsky.social about his book: "The Golden Generation - How Canada Became a Basketball Powerhouse" I learned a lot, especially about the Canadian Pacers On how Andrew Nembhard grew up modeling his game after a former Pacer, & much more 🔗: www.patreon.com/posts/golden...

I wrote the cover story for Maisonneuve Magazine. It's about the history of basketball in Montreal, from Trevor Williams to Sylvia Sweeney to Chris Boucher and Lu Dort. It explores themes of race, sex, class and language in a province that historically favoured hockey to basketball..

Still on the fence? Here's my pitch about why you should order "The Golden Generation" ahead of the holidays!

"The Golden Generation" is out in time for the holidays! Featuring 100 interviews with Canada's most important basketball figures, it dives into the history of men's basketball in Canada, alternating between Team Canada, grassroots figures, and NBA players. From Naismith to Nash to SGA. Link below

Enjoying @orenweisfeld.bsky.social The Golden Generation about the highs and lows and everything in between of Canadian men's basketball. The struggles, the bridge building, the Steve Nash, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Andrew Wiggins stories and more. Highly recommend: torontosun.com/sports/baske...

Reading "The Golden Generation" by @orenweisfeld.bsky.social taught me so much about the history of Canada's men's basketball team. It's an incredibly detailed book and I really enjoyed speaking to him about writing it www.timescolonist.com/national-spo...

I caught up with CanBall HC Jordi Fernandez recently and while he has no update on his contract status, his No. 1 message to the group following Olympics was that they need to stick together through the highs and lows. If so, they will have a window to do something special...
