A Raptors fan since their induction to the NBA in 1995, I have realized the difference between Raptors fans and the rest of the NBA’s fanatics: we’re stupid.

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, for years the two top-ranked tennis players on the planet, have been building a rivalry that matches the intensity of a Habs-Leafs playoff series. If you can get past the excessive grunting that accompanies the 200 kilometre per hour serves, one will find a demonstration of extreme talent and professionalism.

Since I was a wee lad, being off the ground has profoundly terrified me.
Maybe it’s because I’m from the barren flatlands of Saskatchewan where the nearest thing resembling a skyscraper in most places is an orange Pioneer elevator. It is this exact phobia of heights that has allowed me to appreciate mountain and glacial climbing as the truly perplexing sports they are.

When NBA players started flocking to Twitter, there was no need to abate my excitement. Giving pro athletes a global megaphone was somewhere between sleeping with spiders and peeing into the wind on my to-do list. I was not surprised by how banal most of the players were: Miami’s Dwyane Wade never seems to stop playing with his kids and those who attended college make note of the happenings of their Alma Maters’ sports teams. Yet whenever any of them writes that “life is good” I can’t help but feel like they are ignorant. Of course life is good, you make millions!
