GloRilla’s reaction after Brandon Ingram scored the game winning shot against the Pacers.
When did memphis come to toronto
If GloRilla is helping us become more of a desirable FA destination, fuck it, give her citizenship and an OBE
I am surprised as to why Toronto isn’t a more desirable location for hoopers. They legit get an entire country as a fanbase, not just a city/state.
Income tax, weather and import tax.
As a sports city, it’s top tier, it’s just kinda annoying to get stuff across the border and like NY/LA it’s expensive, but without being the same level of world-class city. Which is why growing Canadian basketball is so huge. If we go off the Maple Leafs and how successful they are at recruiting Toronto-native talent, Raptors should be able to get Canadian/international players much easier than American players.
Oh right, taxes. Forgot about that.
Imagine all the Canadians that are in the NBA today playing for the Raps though.
Shai, Jamal Murray, RJ, Wiggins, Edey, Ben Mathurin, Brooks..
I absolutely put Toronto in the same class as NY/LA. It just doesn’t host celebrities we know besides a former rapper. But food, entertainment, quality of life all seems amazing as a multiple time tourist.
Now Winnipeg and Calgary. Trash. Thieves of my hockey teams.
For commoners Toronto stacks up, not for millionaires.
Nah, Toronto is a great city but it’s not on that world-class tier that NYC is on. Ironically it might be better to live in but there’s levels to this.
Spend a lot of time in both and the swagger, vibrancy, and legit just electricity NYC has is pretty clearly different level.
Former rapper?
hey man calgary aint that bad. (its pretty bad)
It’s the million bad ones, that spoil it for the few good ones. 🤣
You realize that weather, taxes, and proximity to family/friends factor into quality of life, right?
The weather sucks, it’s cold and overcast, basically Buffalo north. The taxes suck. If you don’t have family/friends based there, why TF would you move there? Nothing about traveling to/from Canada is more convenient than traveling from one US state to another. Hell even Drake can’t force himself to live in Toronto full time…
Toronto is on the happy side of the lake, no where close to Buffalo winter.
Taxes also aren’t that different than NY/California either.
Don’t get me wrong, Toronto is a fantastic place to live and raise a family. It’s safe, the people are nice, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, and has proximity to world-class education. It’s not a destination for young 20 year-old millionaires who want to party but for the general populace, there is probably no other other city in North America I would want to live in.
It’s cold as shit, cloudy, expensive, and you still hand over half your paycheck to the government. The stuff you’re describing exists in every major American city, and the crime rates in Toronto are basically the same as NY. Nothing about Toronto is appealing to the average American. Your average Canadian just doesn’t know any better.
You ever been to Toronto?
Yep. Fine to visit, but the weather is dogshit. I’ll pass on living there
Players don’t really give a fuck about fans, it’s about the money, situation, and location.
Im an Upper Middle Class Black Male from Detroit. Im married to a Chinese-Canadian Woman. We own multiple homes in the GTA.
Toronto is a nice city. Ill probably be there for 10 days over Christmas. Black People from the USA from these major Urban Core do not want to live in Toronto. It would be like asking Cooper Flagg does he prefer to play in Dallas or Memphis. Or say Dallas vs ATL.
If you dont get what the ‘Not Like Us’ was truly getting at…Black Culture in Canada is really kinda like Drake. Which for Black People in the USA who grew up in Black Areas the Hood/Projects, Working Class, Middle Class, or Talented Tenth/Jack & Jill Crowds is so different from Drake we just dont mess with it.
So NBA Players going to another culture thats an off-brand version of your own??? Getting your people a job is even difficult.
I see NBA/NFL players younger siblings playing at exclusive private schools all the time or their talented nephews. My Brother is bus driver. Hard to get a job being a bus driver in Toronto. If im a NFL/NBA player their siblings often times move nearby but keep a career.
As someone who lives in the Toronto, I view it as more of an immigrant city. Like, there are a lot of cultural hubs for immigrant groups from East Asia, South Asia, Iran, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, etc. More than 50% of the population of Toronto was not born in Canada. (Speaking as an immigrant myself. We’ve got great food from international cuisines.)
But Toronto does not have a cultural hub that’s similar to African American culture. In this, I agree with you. We don’t even have some off brand one like what Drake likes to pretend like we do. We have Afro-Caribbean immigrant culture hubs and African immigrant culture hubs, but not African American ones. I can understand why African-American people would feel isolated here.
Still a fun city, though. 10⁄10 no notes. City saved my life.🇨🇦🥳
As a foreigner from both of those cultures, I can understand each word of what you say but I really can’t understand the comment as a whole.

What does all of this mean ?
Also interesting to see them talk about “the hood” and jobs so quickly after saying they own multiple properties here…
And the decision that Drake being on a low budget niche Canadian tv show for like 3 years means he couldn’t have associated with black culture or “the hood” in any way is always a fun talking point. Like they check your household income at children’s TV auditions.
this dumbass really thinks drake grew up in canadian hoods LOL
See Drake is a weird one. He’s half Jewish so even though he’s part black, he’s still technically different culture wise. He’s not from the hood, he grew up middle class. So he’s more like Carlton than Will.
People would say im like Carlton Banks. Im telling you its not he is Middle Class, he is half-Jewish, etc. He is just purely disconnected from Black America other than music.
Grant Hill grew up even more affluent than Drake. Difference is Hill grew up in Northern Virginia where there is a huge Black Middle Class/Talented Tenth culture.
It means “I really like to hear myself talk.”
Lol why is your wifes race relevant?
Im saying im someone who should be totally okay with living in Toronto and Im like “ehh I’ll pass”. If a BM in Tech married to a Chinese Woman doesn’t want to live in Toronto like that what do you think about someone like Derrick Rose who grew up on Southside of Chicago??
You have no clue what you’re talking about LOL “Black culture in Canada is really like Drake”
I call BS on on your post because if you owned several properties in the GTA you wouldn’t be “upper middle class”, you would be mega rich….the average home price is 1.5 million in TO, and you likely wouldn’t be living in Detroit lol you’re wealthy, own multiple properties in one of the nicest cities in North America, and you choose to live in Detroit….? .but even if what you say said is true, it’s a bozo ignorant thing to say…“I spent 10 days in Canada one time, I know the culture” lol you don’t know the “culutre” here and you aren’t hanging out in the hood here….
Most people from the “hood” in the U.S have never been to Toronto, or Canada for that matter, and we have a similar culutre in Canada.
Okay ill bet you I live in Detroit Metro i lived in city proper from 1983-1994, 2005-2009, then 2013-2022…each time I moved it was to a nearby suburb.
Yes because the imaginary condo I own in Fort York and the properties in Richmond Hill are just my imagination.
Also, I’m born and raised in Metro Detroit. You are ignorant to everything you are discussing.
Also I live in Grosse Pointe Shores, MichiganCensus Data. I suggest you go look up the price of my city and yearly property taxes. Zillow, Redfin (owned by a local company) or Realtor.com will suffice. To give you an idea the median household income where I live is $182k/yr
I literally described every style of Black Neighborhood projects/hood, working class, middle class, Talented Tenth/Jack & Jill crowd. You focus on the one.
Obviously we are talking about people who would know a Black American Basketball player and where they would originate. Newsflash most Basketball Players are middle class they aren’t dirt poor.
Also people choose to live due to family and where they make money. You are completely ignorant to what is in Detroit. On my street I have 5 doctors, 3 Lawyers, 3 people who are Sr. Manager or higher at Fortune 100 companies and several other White Collar Professionals or small business owners.
I make 175k and my wife makes 95k. Thats not mega rich. You know USD to CAD exchange is 1.25-1.4?? You know you can save money and buy a home.
Point is I have been with my wife 19 years I have traveled back and forth to Toronto for 13 years regularly spending between 12-40 days there a year. Our kids go to Toronto every summer for 3-6 weeks typically starting Canada Day (July 1st).
Toronto and Detroit are similar in they are both Great Lakes Cities so they are similar culturally like that. But Black People in Toronto are different than the Blacks in historical Black US cities. Im telling you and literally NBA players for nearly 30 years have been saying the same thing.
This is the best explanation I’ve read. Good shit lol
Lol the real explanation is it’s in another country which comes with a lot of shit to consider on its own, most of the team’s history isn’t great and the idea of “FA destinations” is extremely overblown.
How you gon tell me what I think the answer is? After I just stated what I thought lol. No, I agree with the person I responded to.
[deleted]
Brother it was clearly a joke, get the stick out your ass
It’s not good news….it’s a little too deep for that. Unfortunately he will need surgery, I’m on the phone with a colonoscopy specialist and a surgeon.
I am reaching out to Toronto staff to inform them of my free agency, and they are my top destination solely due to Glorilla
On a scale from 1-10, how far above an 8 are you?
A lot of us started rooting for y’all when Marc Gasol went there and just sort of kept supporting you as our East Conference bros
this is how i found out they were together 😭 the handshake is so cute
my dumbass saw her jumping up and down during the game and assumed she’s a really big basketball fan lmaooo
Aye she is now!
in my defence she’s been at a bunch of memphis games and was at The Cup games in vegas last season! now that i think about it… she’s from memphis and was probably invited/booked to appear in vegas
i was just like she’s a gal who’s a passionate hoops fan, just like me! yeah glo! 💀
I watched the highlight of the shot and saw this person in the background jumping around and was wondering who that was…now I know I guess….no idea who she is 😅
She’s a rapper
As someone who doesn’t listen to as much rap these days, she’s actually hella fun. Check her out when you’re in a good mood driving home from work on your Friday
When they played This or That w her on a red carpet or something and they asked her Steph Curry or Damien Lillard (bc she was previously tied to him) and she’s like Steph Curry! With her whole chest lmao. She’s adorable
Had no idea they were together. I wonder if she just really wanted an nba player. I remember she was thirsting over Dame for a while.
god forbid a woman wants a handsome, incredibly tall, millionaire boyfriend
There are plenty of those that aren’t nba stars
okay? should she have run it by you first? maybe email her or something
I thought she was dating Xavier Legette but I guess that was just a random thing from a music video?
Agreed. I love this kinda mushy happy stuff. Great to see BI3 doing well.
being with a blatant gold digger is doing well got it bro
she’s literally a millionaire herself, you dumb dodo
Hurrper’s hurrper
And it just popped up on my nurrsfeed
She has a burrtiful spurrit.
Ingram finally getting the love he deserves, love to see it!
Was so amped when we got him. Dude is a baller.
Ingram’s a dick
How so?
This is just the latest example
I also thought similar to this but if you look it up he actually apologized.
Ehh, it’s better to apologize than not but it doesn’t un-do it.
Ya, no shit unless he gets a time machine
Lmao who gives a fuck
Obviously not your parents when it comes to raising you right
Tough guy up there
Shii you wouldn know anything bout being tuff lil girl
where
Yea, with a bullshit vague apology. Dude’s an ass
This is just the only example. This is not the worst thing anyone has ever done.
Burn him at the stake!
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Alright bro I guarantee you’ve done worse things
I can confidently say ive never done that to someone and just sat there pouting instead of acknowledging my fuckup. Hes a grown ass man he shouldve known better
We don’t know that he didn’t apologize or acknowledge his fuck up. We only see a few seconds after when it’s still the heat of the moment. It looks like he doesn’t even see that he hit someone. Maybe someone told him and he apologized.
I’m so glad I’m not a celebrity having every moment scrutinized by randoms online
Wah wah wahhhhhhhh stop being a baby
Imagine how much the world would hate you for your actions if it was always being filmed
He also is empty calories and often gives up mid-game.
Sounds like you’re thinking of Paolo, except Ingram’s teams haven’t been actively better when he’s out
It’s funny you guys like him right now.
I’ll predict that by the end of the season your whole fanbase turns on him
Lol shit I didn’t know they together. Rappers and ballers…she got BI balling out…crazy, Meg ain’t doing the same for Klay lol
Meg got another court to attend lol.
Edit: Imagine being offended by this comment.
Bars
Double entendre 😂😆
Oh shit we spittin 🗣️
I mean depends on what your intent is my guy
Idc what his intent is he got a point and a half
Klay isn’t hitting game winners. He’s lucky if he hits a shot
Klay 35 after 2 career altering injuries vs 28 year old Ingram in the prime of his life dawg 😭
It’s 7pm Friday
It’s 95 degrees
god I wish…. freezing my ass off here I mean.. I ain’t got no balla and no balla ain’t got me!!!
BI’s dad filming with the flip case lol.
Correct me if I’m wrong but his dad was rarely at the Pelicans games. I’ve seen him a few times at the Raptors games. I wouldn’t watch the Pels either to be fair
gonna need Ingram’s dad to hang out with Yesavage and Schneider’s dad and form a Toronto Pro Athlete Dad club
is it just me or is everything in the video orange instead of red
Yeah its weird the only thing that has the right color is glorillas hair
It looks like it was recorded at a Tennessee volunteers game
Who dis?
Our bertiful spert
That Memphis slang keeps all English and Linguistic teachers up at night
Just imagine if they have a kid and he gets that memphis accent with that dumbass toronto one lmao
Tell me you chersin fam
The Anti-Drake?
What you said…ain’t it mane!
Y’all got a Memphis girl in Toronto in the winter? Yea she like that man for real lol
She’s looking for an NBA boo. First tried and failed with Dame Lillard now apparently Ingram.
Dude I thought she was with Xavier Legette from the Carolina Panthers lol. He’s in one of her music videos that came out this year that was about love and settling down.
I would pay money to watch them have a conversation.
Just an all-time “this is technically English but I need subtitles” moment
You probably know more than I do. Looking for a pro sports baller. I’d beware.
Y’all are bonifide losers
BI the goat and starting all star this year! Love watching him hoop!
GOAT? You’re using that term way too loosely. I would be shocked if he was even a reserve for the all star game.
Would you accept GlOATRilla?
Now I dig the Notorious B I 3 nickname even more.
She probably still calls him Magnum B.I.
Very cute
He wouldn’t kiss her on the lips tho 👀🤣🤣😂
They homies?
They homie lover friends
Bedroom buddies
Bumping uglies
Homies that give each other kisses
They clearly didn’t
You watching them 24⁄7?
Nah I’m watching them embrace after a high emotional moment.

This might have been the easiest google in the universe
What does that have to do with what I said?
Just glanced at the title and wondered why the Phoenix Gorilla was at a Raptors-Pacers game. Played the video and kept scanning the background to see him. Realized my error and felt dumb.
Am I the only person that does not find her attractive.
What, the veneers, pounds of makeup, and bright orange wig don’t do it for you?
Your a dime a dozen.
Genuinely don’t know who she is… (european here).
Who?
Ingram to Memphis confirmed
Ja about to start shooting up mooses
Lol I read that as Moses for a second
Moses malone catching strays out here
Can someone please translate?
Gross
Well, shows my age but that’s officially the dumbest name I’ve ever heard.
Worse than Amillion Buggs?
Oh… That’s solid contender. I’m going to have to look into that one. GlowRilla is still up there for me though.
All I can hear is nick mullen doing black voice
Heheheh noooo nick heheheh
Memphis and Canada always got a connection 💙❤️
the most masculine female rapper
Black ass ***** w/ dreads ❌️
Lightskin ***** w/ waves ❌️
???
Man, the raptors, we are the expert at figuring out the awkward, quiet, sulky, scorers.
Llama llama red purjama
Glo is awesome, and apparently on Randy Orton’s workout playlist
Orton knows ball
What ever that moose knuckle is doing for Ingram, he needs to marry her.
good for them
lol I saw what you originally wrote.
lol fill us in
He went in for the kiss —- she say . 🚫🚫
Who the fuck is glorilla

What a stupid person. Holy shit.
Huh???
3 month old account with comments hidden, it’s ragebait
The woman on the screen seems really fucking dumb as a person and individual. I didn’t think my comment was that confusing.
You seem like you have a really healthy relationship with women and/or black people :)!
What about this video makes you think that?
She’s black is what I’m guessing.
Ok racist
Lmao what a moronic assumption to make. They could be any color on earth and they would still be a stupid person
Case in point. At some point you may want to explain your terrible reasoning or just accept the fact that we all look at you like a stupid person
We just aren’t used to that kinda blatant racism. Caught me off guard. Have the day you deserve
Lmfao. Moronic take. My day is exceptional thank you bro
You doing all that name calling is giving serious projection vibes.
You are giving off serious moronic vibes but I wasn’t going to just flat out call you a moron. You are in my DMs like a female, are we positive this isn’t you in the video?
I’m replying to a comment. Ain’t no women in your DM’s. Stop capping you sound goofy af
Its true. We as a society love gloryfying idiots like that. This clip made me want to vomit.
Idiots like what? Use your big boy words and explain
Dang she ugly as sin
Still courtside dapping up Ingram while you hate on Reddit
What do you look like? Better be hot 😡
This some crazy projecting, you probably look like Gorlock and the thing from Goonies had a baby.
