This week on Raps unPublished the official Toronto Raptors podcast, 
two members of the Harlem Globetrotters in Champ Thompson and Zeus McClurkin sit down with our host Matt Tierney. They will be playing in 320 games in over 260 cities this year, no wonder they're called the world famous Globetrotters.

Champ and Zeus are always in a fun mood, they speak on the impact they've had all over the world, introducing the 4pt line to NBA players, how players get their nicknames, and coming back full circle to the team.

The basic rule to having a nickname is that you must be anointed one. Akil and Matt share their nicknames growing up that stuck, they discuss the 4pt line in the NBA, and March Madness picks!
