The whole thing can be seen here.

Says he likes Rush. Yeah right. lol

I'm Terrence Ross of the Toronto Raptors here to take your questions. : nba

moremilk · 03-13-2014, 08:17 PM

pretty awesome stuff, sounds like a really great (and smart) kid
being smart will be a huge asset for him going forward

i didn't get the PG comparison though, they're not at all similar in body type, am I missing something? PG is 2-3 inches taller and has huge arms to boot.

They were way before his time and to my knowledge he has stated his favorite music is rap. Just seems out of left field and like he said it b/c they're a canadian band.

Personally i always hated Rush. lol

What jeff said.

Also, he spelled favourite and honour with a "u" and pointed out it was the Canadian way. He definitely knew who his audience was.

Bill Haverchuck · 03-13-2014, 09:07 PM

Well, Acie is probably right...but....

rap is probably my favourite music, if you do a quantitative analysis of my Ipod, yet I still really like the Tragically Hip...and Tom Cochrane....so I think Terrence could like Rush.

I wouldn't be surprised if he got introduced to them while hanging around at the ACC during hockey games or practices. Rush sounds like the kind of stuff they'd play during a Leafs game.

True enough i love rap/r&b but i have Zeppelin, the Hip, Queen, Bowie etc...on my ipod. As for where he's heard them....he probably hasn't heard them much but knows they're Canadian. Surprised he didn't say Drake tbh.

Acie · 03-13-2014, 09:22 PM

My tastes are all over the place too, but seemed to me like he playing up to his audience. Who knows?

Quote:

i listen to school boy q. i listen to his whole album. i listen to a$ap rocky. and rush for all my canadian fans.

He also said this.

Quote:

my favourite tv show is martin, it's always sunny in philadelphia, and trailer park boys for my canadian fans!!!

Alex · 03-13-2014, 09:54 PM

Rush plays a part in TPB so he probably just said it because it was the first thing that came to his mind.

bjjs · 03-13-2014, 09:55 PM

He also said;

Quote:

My favourite food is pepperoni pizza, sushi, and peameal bacon poutine...for all my canadian fans!

gdaytday · 03-14-2014, 09:55 AM

I really hope we can keep Lowry. Especially after hearing how much T Ross looks up to him as a leader.

Carlito · 03-14-2014, 10:02 AM

I wish the fans at the AC would stop booing ex-raptors ... Ross hates it when we boo Vince.

I actually think this hurts our reputation in the league ...

Yes, and the booing of Rudy Gay was really ridiculous... I still don't understand...

gdaytday · 03-14-2014, 12:30 PM

I absolutely understand the initial booing of Vince but at this point it should stop. I'd actually love to see him get a standing O the next time he plays in TO.

As for the booing of Rudy...it was behind ridiculous. It was embarrassing.

maltmonger · 03-14-2014, 12:36 PM

I didn't get the booing of Rudy Gay and really wish he was given a better reception.

Vince on the other hand - I hope the boos never stop and would hate to see him honoured in any way.

I guess I hold a grudge - and I'm very much OK with that in Carter's case.

Luckedout · 03-15-2014, 10:30 AM

i think vince gets too much hate for Front Office eff-ups. he deserved the boos early on, now its time to move on.

also very well done by ross.
