Raps fans, here's a peek into what the newest member of the Raptors, Leandro Barbosa, is bringing to the team this season. Take a look at the anklebreaker in Brazil's loss to Team USA today.
Canada dropped their opening game at the Turkey FIBA World Championships to Lebanon 81-71. It was a disappointing loss for the Canucks as Lebanon outscored Canada 23-14 in the final quarter. Even more embarrassing was the fact that some of the numbers on team Canada's jerseys were peeled off during the game.
Next up to bat.....the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak. Sophia, Candice, Char and Kat were here in Halifax for this year's NBA Jam Session. We had a chance to talk to the ladies about the new Dance Pak blog, the Toronto Raptors, Halifax and DONAIRS!!!

This weekend, NBA Jam Session, started their cross Canada tour that kicked off here in Halifax. Sean Francois, DJ Plaeboi (viralmixtape.com) and myself, Romy Aquino, checked out the festivities on the Halifax Waterfront. In attendance was Anthony "Buckets" Blakes from the Harlem Globetrotters, the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak (including the host of Raptorspace, Kat), Coach Jack Armstrong, Detroit Pistons mascot, Hooper, and of course, the NBA All-Star from the Atlanta Hawks, Al Horford.
Check out our teaser video from the events and stay tuned for some exclusive interviews with some of the attendees coming up!
So this year's Toronto Raptors Dance Pak have started up a blog of their own which you can find on Raptors.com. The blog gives a behind the scenes look at this year's Dance Pak outside from their on-the-court performances. In their latest post, this year's crew attempted to show off their b-boy/beatbox skills at this year's Canada/France matchup at the ACC.
RaptorspaceKat and the crew also dropped by my hometown of Halifax for a visit at this year's NBA Jam Session, which kicked off on the East Coast. We have some pics/video which will be dropping on the site very soon!
Former Toronto Raptor, Chris Bosh, was recently on the Dan Patrick show this past Wednesday.

Here's a video snippet of the interview but you can listen to the full segment here.
