DOUG SMITH on the Toronto Raptors, Kyle Lowry & the tradition of retiring jersey numbers.

Doug Smith on the podcast today to talk some NBA basketball in the middle of the summer with Bob & John.

We go over the teams roster as of right now, touching on Pascal Siakam's development into an elite player as well as questioning OG Anunoby's ceiling and ability to bring his game to the next level. We also talk about the significance Kyle Lowry has had on the franchise before moving on.

The three talk about Doug's experience at Nick Nurse's charity golf tournament over the weekend. Doug lets us know who he saw and who he talked to at the event.

With the passing of the great Bill Russell comes the conversation of whether the NBA should retire the number 6. Doug, Bob and John give their opinion on the tradition of retiring players numbers and debate on its relevance in not only the NBA but all pro leagues.
