"the gym's open ahlie" THE MOST TORONTO THING IVE HEARD HOLAYYYYYYY
HAHAHAAHAHA I had the same moment!
I know Rexdale isn’t always known for the best things but it’s home. Proud of Dalano for repping where he came from.
Shit, you should see it now. It's getting completely revamped. I don't know if it's big company stuff, I don't know the politics behind it but every other corner is renovating homes, adding bridges fixing roads and new big box stores. It's been years since you could walk down a street and not see construction.
hes from mo
Rex ain't that bad lol
@@scottiebarnes8588 it really isn’t but how it’s been depicted in the media in the past paints a different view.
@@scottiebarnes8588 it use to be one the worst hoods in Toronto but this is Canada people they would never let it look like the states...although the shootings unlike back then have spread out as a result and the violence is up and down they don't care for that they just want it to look nicer then American hoods
Nuff respect to Dalano. It feels so good to hear our accent, our language, our community on this episode. 45 Kipling? Mount Olive? Packing barrels in the living room? This represents one of the authentic perspectives of the city. IYKYK
BIG FACTS. Someone from the ends made it. Not from sauga or brampton or kitchener. One of us from the hood talking like that. This is goat legendary shit. Every kid from the hood played raptor ball facts. He's really in the NBA Amen great story
@@Kavveman93 holy totally forgot about raptor ball
I love how the visiting teams are clueless as to why we cheer so loud when this guy gets on the court 😂
Those barrels are in many immigrants in Toronto, we're Kenyan and have 2 in our garage at the moment.
I was fighting back tears just seeing him in the 45 Kipling and thinking of how the TTC wished him a happy bday.
All the best Dalano, I truly see him being an all-star because he's genuinely humble and not flashy.
Us Filipinos have Balikbayan boxes. They’re just regular big boxes that we send home too.
I think everybody from the Caribbean send those barrels back to their island. I know people from Trinidad, Grenada and St Vincent that send those barrels back there and they send the most stuff right before Christmas cuz I heard they take like a month to get there.
His community loves him soooooo much. That's power.
What?
CANADA Raps fans love him so much ;o)
because he loves his community. And he reps them proudly. That's the source of his power.
@@ShawnKawaii what does that have to do with power
@@theworkethic where he grew up. Or are you some of those people that say, Toronto's soft. His power is having much love from just as hard as most "American" hoods, in Canada. If you think I'm full of shi*, go there talking your "soft" Canadian shi*. I'd love to be there
Proud of this kid. Representing Toronto well.
As someone who grew up in Rexdale his whole life, shoutout to Delano, he’s living the life. Playing in the NBA for your hometown team is 🔥🔥🔥 Wish him nothing but the best
I taught in Rexdale for 35 years and Dalano is representative of the wonderful kids whose parents were hard working people who wanted the best for their kids! Yes, Rexdale, like the Jane -Finch corridor where I grew up in the 70’s, has had some rough times, but the majority of residents were hard working Canadians who are determined to provide their children with education and opportunities! Blessings!
Thanks for sharing OG - I grew up in Projects here in BC and has a similar vibe - a lot of hard working families just wanting the best for their kids.
This is a certified hood classic. 😅
This gotta be one of the all time best episodes. Incredible to see a guy from the city make it to the team. Nice to see how much the community supports him as well. I couldn't help but crack a smile everytime he said 'hoollllyyy'🤣, real Toronto mans right here
Anthony bennett kinda too
Check when the 45 comes!"- Hit's different when you from here REX
This most unique ep of open court. One of the best
Dalano really just living out all our dreams. He’s just a raptors fan that happens to be good at basketball haha. Happy for the hometown kid. First Toronto kid to be drafted to the raps, hopefully not the last
Definitely not the last! More & more Canadians in the NBA every year!
I'm a Rexdale guy with a kid that has the same aspirations as Dalano...the way his community embraces him and how proud they are of him made me cry watching this beautiful video...anything truly is possible if you believe hard enough and work hard enough...dream it...believe it..live it..
praise the editor. dude drops fuego every episode
This is awesome 👌🏾. Rexdale🔥🔥🔥 He's living out the dream of thousands of neighbourhood superstars all over the Toronto Area. Shout out to the ballers from the 80's, 90's, 2000 and beyond playing out of Henry Carr, NACI, West Humber, Marian Academy, Johnson, TCI. This is huge for Toronto.
oh shit he went to henry carr too? Dillon brooks too
Yall forget about Eastern Commerce
Gotta love the likkle Toronto slang he puts in, true toronto mans styll
LOLLL it's one of those...if you know, you know! 😄 I can always spot a fellow Toronto native as soon as they open their mouth!
Brings tears to my eyes!
Anyone that knows him knows that he’s a real humble guy, he doesn’t just represent Rexdale but Toronto in a whole, I wish him much success.
Canada actually! True Canadian character & perfect example of a Raptor ;o)
Couldn't be more proud to have such a fitting ambassador for the city and the country represent in our Team. Just dropped 30 with a near triple double in the G-League... this kid's making me wanna tune into the 905 as well. Keep it up D-Rex. Boss A
The authenticity of this kid... make you like him just that much more. Keep being awesome Dalano. Great episode Bell.
I'm from Rexdale and I'm soo damn proud
Bro I lived so many years at the rexdale & islington intersection, taking the 45 to kipling station all the time, going to the same community centre every weekend and it's crazy I never crossed paths with him at all even those clips from his high school games I recognize the seneca court, I used to work there after my classes and weekends for all the basketball tournaments. Even though I wasn't born here it feels so nice to have a guy that represents the city and more specifically an area I'm so familiar with and it's so special to me
Dalano is amazing! Always excited to see him play. So humble, salute king!
So Canadian ;o)
There are MANY bright stars in Rexdale. This young man has taken his shine to a worldwide level and it's a must that he be celebrated for it. Big up young man...you focused on your dream and you made it. Bless up to you for your achievement, for repping your community, for showing love for Olive and for taking your family with you. I am a olive girl myself, this young man would have been a bean sprout during my time. Lol it's a happy occasion and nothing but love respect and blessings to Dalano on his journey. MO for life!! 💜💜
Low key one of my favorite episodes of all time. #WeTheNorth #OpenGym
As a Rexdale man born and raised I hope all of Rexdale supports this young man and leave the neighbourhood beefs behind. He represents all of us from rex .
He makes Canada proud!
Dear Open Gym,
not sure if a video already exists, but can you do an episode showcasing the raptors renowned development team/program? how are these players improving SO much? who are the coaches/staff/system? behind this winning organization transforming these players? gotta big these guys up!
Can't give away all the secrets to our success...its a copycat league...lol
@@infamous1ao just a peek' lol ...... they do deserve credit too for developing our stars right'
@@infamous1ao exactly
Nah keep that under wraps. There are poverty franchises out there who would love that kind of information lol
Nice try, boston
the positive wholesome energy in this video is actually insane. dalano's a star man.
You know you're in a Jamaican household with those barrels for sure lol. My mom and grandmother are always sending stuff back home. 😂
Rexdale legend already 🔥🔥🔥
I’m so happy for this guy, seeing where he came from, this is such a true representation of Toronto and how amazing the people here are. Can’t wait to see him excel, rooting for him.
A true toronto product. Always reppin and always biggin up the Rex. Proud of dalano
Awesome doc; Dalano stay real just like you are now. Love the curry goat and rice clip.
Such a wholesome episode ❤️
Young Man represents, true to your roots! Never give up on your hopes and dreams, work your ass off and you can achieve your goals! It doesn't have to be basketball, it can be anything you dream of! Delano now needs to put some meat on those bones and get stronger. Love his vision and motor. Great ability to see the floor and push the pace.
So proud and so happy for Dalano, his family and his community. Shit brought a tear to my eye 🙏🏿
I am so happy for this guy! Man is he ever good. This man is a hooper for real
DALANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait till he grows into a starter. All UP SIDE! This will be fun to watch!
Some wholesome content right here 🥺💞
When I was in grade 3 my class like most others in TO voted on what to name our new NBA team. I remember how big of a deal it was. Now Rexdale mans getting his own OG episode. Proud of man dem representing in a positive way. Bigup young Banton, king mans y'heard
Delano Banton, we are so proud of you. All the best !!
our rookies bring so much character to our team. love 'em both.
I know Dalano is special. He’s a talented & smart player, but his passion for basketball is what I love about him. You can teach skills, but you can’t teach character & passion. Best of luck, Dalano! We’re right here just rooting for you! Let’s go, Raptors! #WeTheNorth🏀
True Canadian & perfect example of a Raptor!
5:50
Seeing that court brings back memories back when I was going to NACI and at lunch a group of us would play ball there.
Never knew his background was Jamaican make me even more happy for him
CHILLS! Another great production from Open Gym. SO MUCH BETTER ACCESS makes for some amazing content and product. Bravo BELL and Open Gym!
Love this guy man. Always going to root for him. Go Dalano, be great!
He came from humble beginnings and he remains humble today.
True Canadian & perfect Raptor!
Proud of this great Canadian Kid!! His family and the country are proud of him.
I love how we got 2 montrealers and 1 toronto man in our team! The best team in the world!
Genuinely proud of this dude. Good for you man
If you’re from the priority neighbourhoods in Toronto.. u know how fucking huge this is. So much respect to him he’s doing amazing
Great episode, very inspiring
Definitely adds to the team. Love the effort
He’s playing so well! 🔥🔥
Good, humble kid. I love this guy!
True Canadian & excellent representation of a Raptor!
Best episode so far damn
So happy for him. Toronto loves you Dalano!
Canada ;o)
Yes, BATON! Very proud that you came from #Rexdale. Keep doing your ting!
This was so wholesome the city is proud.
This was a very good episode of open gym. The moment they showed my neighborhood, it just brought back a lot of memories for me living there for so many years as far as I can remember. Even the North Kipling gym. They still have yet to renovate the basketball floor to a hardwood floor, smh.
Other than that it's nice to see one of my own make it out and represent on a national stage.
Im Etobicoke born and raised *thanks for making us proud
Mount Olive baby ! 😎
Full circle, great to see this
So proud !!
Always thought if I was able to make it to the nba or if someone was to being from Rexdale motivational video 💯
Love and respect to Buju, err....D. Banton! What a great ambassador for Rexdale and Toronto.
Love this kid❤️
Watching this makes me feel proud to be from Toronto
I live at the last stop on the south end the 45 bus route (Kipling Station). Admittedly, I don't know much of Rexdale outside of good Hakka restaurants. Awesome to see a local boy exceed all expectation in his home town.
North Etobicoke (Rexdale) and South Etobicoke are definitely 2 different worlds.
so happy for him and his family
Best episode yet no cap
TORONTO MAN IS OUT HERE. YOU MAKE US PROUD
I like the way everyone cheers when he comes on court. I'm well proud too. Go Jamaica. Go Caribbean .Yea we be getting those barrels in the Caribbean. lol Great episode. Go Raps!
Just think a few years ago he was a high school kid who loved the raptors sometimes dreams do come true
Yes they do sometimes... but not without alot of hard work, & that shouldn't be overlooked ;o)
so damn proud of this kid. Reppin Toronto the right way
Love this
