Jevon Minott- DNB Community Manager.
Jevon. loves Jamaican patties and fast cars. Same with basketball (at least for the fast part) To say he likes basketball would be attempting to downplay it. Basketball has been his favorite sport of recent years as it is a face-paced, exciting game. His love for the Raptors was “on and off” until the 09-10 season when the Raptors were holding a playoff spot. By the end of that season they were fighting for the 8th seed for the playoffs. That was also the first time he had ever attended a game. Just being at the ACC gave him a brand new perspective on watching an NBA game: The live action, the fans, and the heckling. All of that made him not only enjoys being a Raptors fan, but also enjoys basketball as a whole. From Ray Allen shooting 3’s to Blake Griffin doing lobs. Another aspect of the NBA he enjoys is the great shots that many photographers take during gameplay. In joining DNB he will be helping all of you enjoy the DNB and Raptors basketball more and helping spread the love of Dino Nation Blog and basketball to the masses.
Jerrica Tyrene- DNB Community Manager
To her, the Raptors represent an opportunity for her to be around my
family and friends. A communal space. A sense of familial kindness. The
ACC and every Raptors game is a place where she feels like she can escape and
just enjoy the game. A place where she can have tweet ups with her fellow
Raptors fans twitter (Her Twitter Handle is @jeaarr) and just
enjoys everyone's company. One question she always gets asked whenever she tells someone that she is a Raptors fan. Who is your favourite Raptor of all time? My answer: Tyrone Muggsy Bogues.
Why him, you may ask. Well, he's the reason why she is a Raptors fan.
She remember being a little girl sitting in the living room of her aunt's
little condo. Her family would be gathered around the TV and her aunt
would go CRAZY for Muggsy. This is where Jerrica got her crazy
enthusiasm for being a Raptor Fan. To her, basketball is more than just a sport. The Raptors not only do
things for themselves...but for their fans instead. They include all of us in
their family according to Jerrica. Now she is part of our DNB Family and will be active doing some things to interact with all of you that love the DNB and the Raptors.
