We The North. The slogan for the most successful era of Raptors’ basketball was elevated to a new level with the stunning off-season acquisition of superstar Kawhi Leonard. Finally breaking through after years of knocking on the door of the Eastern Conference, the Raptors made history and brought the first championship home to Toronto since the Blue Jays in 1993. From an intriguing new coaching hire in Nick Nurse, to the Leonard trade, to a midseason addition of Marc Gasol, the 2018-2019 season was one of changing the identity of the team, building chemistry, and leading to the franchise’s long-awaited first title. From making quick work of the Magic in the first round of the playoffs, to a Game 7 classic against the 76ers, to ripping off four straight wins versus the Bucks, the Raptors were destined to take down the defending champion Golden State Warriors on their way to becoming kings of the NBA. Packed with expert analysis and dynamic color photography, We The Champs: The Toronto Raptors' Historic Run to the 2019 NBA Title takes fans through the Raptors’ historic and unforgettable journey, from Nurse and Leonard replacing Dwane Casey and DeMar DeRozan, to Pascal Siakam blossoming into a star, to Leonard’s unbelievable four-bounce Game 7 game-winner against the 76ers. This commemorative edition also includes in-depth profiles of Leonard, Kyle Lowry, Masai Ujiri, and other fan favorites who played key roles in Toronto’s extraordinary championship run.

“For every kid who turned SLAM magazine covers into posters, this book is for you. Well-researched, nostalgic, and a necessary modern collection of basketball’s most iconic magazine covers for a glorious trip down memory lane.” —DRAKECEREAL, artist \n“I vividly remember spending hours at the bookstore or supermarket, looking at the covers of Sports Illustrated, SLAM, and all the other classic magazines of that era, hoping to find the next big thing. Cover Story instantly transports you back to the magazine aisle, where a sick glossy photo and some bold text could change the world. Or at least have you believing in the New Jersey Nets.” —TREY KERBY, No Dunks podcast co-host \n"Along the way, the covers of magazines like Sports Illustrated and SLAM became not only announcements of stars’ arrivals, but also invitations to form more intimate bonds with them—an open door to a new kind of relationship with sports. Cover Story is Alex Wong’s love letter to that door: to the covers he taped on his walls, to the images and words emblazoned on his brain and heart, to the people who created them, and to the journey they led him on. It’s worth your attention." —Dan Devine, The Ringer \n“With this elegiac portrait of the Golden Age of sports magazines, Cover Story ingeniously wrings new life out of the athletic heroes of our past. Delving deeply into the construction of the symbols, narratives, and images long seared into our collective memory, Alex Wong allows us to see beyond the Gods themselves and understand how the myths were actually created.” —JEFF WEISS, music journalist and founder of Passion of the Weiss

Prehistoric: The Audacious and Improbable Origin Story of the Toronto Raptors

The improbable story of the birth of modern-day pro basketball in Toronto 
In just over 25 years, the Toronto Raptors have evolved from an intrepid expansion team to an NBA champion. But for all the triumphs of the past decade, the beginning looked a bit different. When the franchise began its first season in 1995, a pro basketball team in Toronto was viewed as an experiment. There was no playbook to follow, and very few people gave them a chance to succeed. 
In Prehistoric, irreverent Raptors voice and culture writer Alex Wong explores the franchise’s fascinating and unconventional inception through 140 original interviews with those involved with the team’s very beginning, examining the process of how the team came up with their name and logo inspired by the blockbuster film Jurassic Park, taking a behind-the-scenes look at the drafting of star point guard Damon Stoudamire, telling the backstories of a group of misfits who formed the first-year roster, and providing an in-depth look at the team’s opening night victory at the SkyDome and the expansion franchise’s signature win over Michael Jordan and a 72-win Chicago Bulls team. 
The Raptors boldly and intentionally pursued a much different audience in a hockey-first town. The result is a team who went through the necessary growing pains and eventually captured the heart of a city, as told in this essential origin story through the lens of the people who were there to help lay the foundation for a thriving modern-day basketball franchise in Toronto.

Shortlisted for The Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry First Collection Prize 2017. Shortlisted for The Roehampton Poetry Prize 2017.  Alex Wong's debut collection Poems Without Irony is a miscellaneous assemblage of aesthetic experiments with diction, syntax and verse form. They are poems produced in an irony-free environment and designed especially to be read aloud. The subjects and tone range widely: as a whole, it is not a book about anything in particular, but about particularity in general. Tensions between the natural and the artificial, or between what is meant and what is actually said, influence almost everything. The style is governed by a desire for simplicity almost equal to the lure of extravagance.
