As the NBA season winds down, I've been reviewing some of my
favourite images and photographs, including 90% NBA photos (and most
of them Raptor players). I wanted to share them, with YOU, so I've
added 4 albumns of 16 photos each (you can do the math).

1) My original first albumn is 100% NBA photographs. It was
uploaded long ago, but I've added some newer photos today, and
eliminated some poor ones.

2) The 2nd, called "My favourite Hoops photos" includes about a
dozen NBA pics & at least 3 photos of the 2006-2007 Ontario champion
University of Windsor Lancers, the alma mater of several people
associated with the Raptors, including original owner Bitove, and
chairman of the board of Maple Leaf Sports Richard Peddie...and me.


In fact the national championship trophy is named after the Windsor
Lancers' Athletic Director who won all 5. Our school was far and
away #1 in Canada (knocking off top NCAA Div I opponents)long before,
finally, new recruiting limitations brought "parity", making a
national tournament possible. Even then, we won 5 of the first 8
years, plus losing (on the road in the Maritimes) to a home Acadia U.
team, by just 1 pt, in over-time (almost winning a 6th championship
in 8 years).

The C.I.S. lists Windsor with 4 national titles, but we won as
Assumption college (the year before the U of W name was 1st
used)...so we have 5 CIS hoop trophies...(so far). I won't bore you
with more recent days (25 years ago), when I was manager of the
university's radio station, and we were rated #1 going into the
national bb championships, but got "bushwacked" by the under-the-
radar St Mary's team, in the 1st of their 4 consecutive championships.

3) A 3rd album called, "Just For Fun", includes funny moments from
NBA games, PLUS a few fun photos that are from other sports, or
animals (from the "dog pound"). It includes some ball-busting
photography of painful (and some funny)moments in sports.

4) The 4th album is all "Play-off Memories" photographs, celebrating
our first time back in 5 years! 1st of many more!! This includes
a "half man" traitor hugging his protege (CB4) sadly. It also
includes the happy "Raptor Red" fans, our team captains shaking
hands, Kidd "breaking ankles" & Jose hurt badly, Sam "winning the
trophy", and a very upset Bosh "ripped off" by a horrible call
(etc.)!!!
