Welcome to the 9th installment of South Shore Ave’s NBA Season Preview! So today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by Anthony Batchelor (Durham College Hall of Famer & All-time Scorer) & Jan-Michael Nation (Ryerson University Hall of Famer & Alumnist) as we break down our Top 5 Lists of the most interesting storylines, players and teams leading up to the 2024-25 NBA Season.

Over the course of this week, I will be dropping a 3-part series celebrating the Raptors - Kawhi Leonard union which officially started in July 2018, and resulted in the greatest season in the history of the franchise. From a collection of episodes & a variety of guests from that championship season, I will be sharing clips that takes you through the journey. From the early season predictions; the anxieties of the playoffs; the highest of the highs in winning their first championship; and the gut punching departure of Kawhi leaving the money on the nightstand & heading to Los Angeles.

Welcome to Part 3, the final chapter of the One-Year Stand.
