Tonight in Los Angeles, the Clippers are playing host to the Raptors, and to Canadian Heritage Night. The reasons for this latter decision are obvious: Toronto is in Canada, and the future of the Clippers rests in the so far capable (Canadian) hands of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — gifted with the beautiful nickname of Shai Gorgeous. If this kid was a boxer, he’d be the world champ.
Still, the idea of Canadian Heritage Night is weird as hell. The promotion apparently comes with a free t-shirt (naturally), but after that I’m already grimacing at what potentially “Canadian” things will be involved in the night.
