Ryerson was never really a school people went to as their plan A or a place to rival the other universities nationwide. Nowadays, it is known for its premiere and niche programs that are only available at what is now called Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) and its competitive athletics, both men’s and women’s. But with the present comes the past. A past filled with some of the greatest forgotten athletes ever seen at the collegiate level in Canada. A past that includes D

Boris Bakovic's life has been indulged in basketball since a young age. The former pro was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina and picked up basketball early in his life, but did not play organized basketball until he was in grade nine. While most think soccer is the more relevant sport in Europe, Boris felt that basketball was a bigger part of the culture in his country. "Well, I mean, actually, I would say basketball is bigger in Serbia than soccer is," Boris stated. With the em

Who knew an 18-year-old kid out of Akron, Ohio would become one of the best players to ever touch a basketball and have a reign lasting more than twenty years? LeBron James did. Right now, LeBron James is on the Los Angeles Lakers and playing his fifth season there and twentieth overall season. He is 1,076 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who has the most points in NBA history. LeBron will undoubtedly get there by the end of this season, but why don’t we take a look at this

The Sacramento Kings have been the laughingstock of the league for the last 16 years but this season, they said " no more". Sacramento has a 10-7 record and sits fifth in the Western Conference. They just suffered a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but had won 7 straight games prior to Wednesday's game. The Team After starting the season 0-4, the Kings were poised to have another disappointing season, but since then, they’ve turned things around.  They average the most points, they

The TMU Bold needed to get their season back on track, and they did just that after tearing apart the Algoma Thunderbirds. The Bold won the game by a whopping 49 points en route to their second victory of the season. Second-year player, Aaron Rhooms, led all scorers with 25 points while teammate David Walker chipped in with 21 points. On the other side, Algoma's Adrian Deere finished with 17 points. These were the only three players to finish with double-digit scoring. The tw

The Los Angeles Lakers have had the same issues for the last two seasons: shooting, depth, and defence, and it doesn't look like they made any attempt to improve either over the off-season. The bench The Lakers have started the season 0-2 after a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers had six players in double figures and produced 43 points from the bench, whereas the Lakers had three players in double figures and 19 bench points. Game one against the Golden State War

After an early playoff exit last season to the Carleton Ravens, the TMU Bold are back and looking to make a statement this season. Locking Down It was the first year back from a halt on sports, so predictably, teams weren't at their best, and TMU fell victim to that. Last season, the Bold finished 9th in points per game allowed, 12th in opponent field goal percentage, 13th in opponent three-point field goal percentage, and 11th in defensive rating. This kind of defence isn't

After a blowout loss in game seven against the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semi-Final, the Suns had a lot of questions over the summer. Former number one overall pick, Deandre Ayton, wanted out of Phoenix after extension talks went nowhere over the course of last season along with a dwindling relationship with head coach Monty Williams.
