Respect the Game Charity Basketball… Team Bond and Team Toney ready to ignite Linden
James Bond
Respect the Game Inc, the only ‘Sportainment’ Charitable Company in Guyana, is taking their Charity Basketball to Linden tomorrow with a triple header at the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court.
Attorney-At-Law James Bond will lead his ‘Team Bond’ along with Georgetown clubs Ravens, Pacesetters and Colts against Sport Journalist and Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Communications Director Rawle Toney’s Amelia’s Ward Jets, Half Mile Bulls and Victory Valley Royals.
The ‘Team Bond’ versus ‘Team Toney’ concept was birthed last year when a group of friends (Herman Liverpool, Toney, Bond, Edison Jefford, Campton Bobb and Surika Danraj) came together and used the sport of basketball, their players and celebrities, to help give back to the less fortunate.
“We started the ‘Respect the Game’ movement last year when we had a celebrity event at the Sports Hall and now, we’re taking it to Linden,” said Toney.
He further added, “I’m from Linden so ‘Team Toney’ will be bringing the best team from

the town (Linden) and I know James’ ‘Team Bond’ will be very strong. The idea though, is to first help in giving back to basketball, making sure the players benefit, as well as using all the funds to support those in need in Linden.”
The event in Linden was made possible through sponsorship from E-Networks, Gravity Lounge, Sleep Inn International Hotel, Buddy’s Pool Hall and Fitness Express.
“Linden is a basketball community and it’s been a while since they’ve actually seen some good basketball. This event will reignite that Linden versus Georgetown rivalry, while doing so for a good cause,” Toney said.
Meanwhile, according to Toney, Respect the Game Inc is presently doing a Schools Supplies Drive for the month of August to assist 200 children when school reopens in September.
