8 h. ago ESPN host fires baffling shot at Toronto Raptors and their fanbase

The Toronto Raptors found themselves in the middle of an odd discussion on a recent ESPN show put out this week.On Monday's episode of The Hoop Collective podcast hosted by Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps, and Tim MacMahon, the trio was discussing Tony Allen's jersey retirement over the weekend with the Memphis Grizzlies.Allen, who played for the Grizzlies from 2010 to 2017, was the centrepiece of the "Grit and Grind" era in Memphis in which the team was lauded for its strong defensive play and hustle all over the court.And when praising the Grizzlies' connection to their fanbase, MacMahon offered a strange opinion as to where it relates to the Toronto Raptors."They didn't get to the finals, they obviously didn't win a championship, but they were a very good team for a long time that epitomized the culture of the city they're in," MacMahon said.
