Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Toronto Raptors first season?

The Toronto Raptors had a terrible debut season, winning only 21 games. 1995-1996 was the inaugural season for the Toronto Raptors in National Basketball Association (NBA). Along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, the Raptors were also one of the expansion teams that joined that league. It was also the NBA's first season outside of the United States.

Isiah, an All-Star point guard who is also a Detroit Pistons legend, was appointed the team's General manager. He was involved in the draft that produced Damon Stoudamire. He would go on to win Rookie-of-the Year. They also acquired Tracy Murray (and Oliver Miller) in separate trades. Thomas also introduced a brand new primary logo, featuring a play by basketball dinosaur and new pinstripe jerseys with the logo. The Raptors added purple and red to their color scheme.

Brendan Malone became the Raptors head coach on November 3. They beat the New Jersey Nets at SkyDome to win their debut. But they lost the next seven games.

Murray finished second in scoring and averaged 16.2 points per match. He also led the team's total of 151 three-point goals. Miller was the team's leading scorer with 12.9 points and 7.4 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.9 block per game. Robertson had 9.3 points and 4.4rebounds as well as four assists and two steals each game.

Despite having the worst attendance record in the league they still managed to attract over 17283 fans per match at SkyDome (now Rogers Centre).

What does "We The North” actually mean?

The Toronto Raptors use the anthem "We The North", also known as We The North Nation. It was created by Drake and Noah Shebib (producer).

Drake wrote the song at his Toronto apartment with a friend. He recorded Take Care with KanyeWest, another artist. While there, Drake decided to write some lyrics about his hometown. He wanted it to be something that could represent all Canadians. It speaks of unity, pride and hope.

Drake began to work on the melody for We The North after he went to London to film the video for his single "Nice For What". He then recorded the instrumental version in one take.

Drake was writing the lyrics to the song, but 40 came up with the chorus. After hearing the hook, Drake thought it sounded like a great idea and asked if he would record it. Together they created the final product.

The official music video for "We The North Anthem," was released on October 5, 2018. It featured Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes performing along with Drake and other musicians.

Which was the Raptors' best year?

The 2019 championship season was Toronto Raptors’ best year. The Raptors' first NBA Championship was memorable. Kawhi Leonard was named Finals MVP after the team posted a record of 58-24 during the regular season. They defeated the Golden State Warriors in six games to take home the title.

The Toronto Raptors replaced Bryan Colangelo, their then-general manager, with Masai Uriri in 2013. This move would herald a new age for the franchise. They would be one of the best in the NBA.

The Raptors experienced a revival under Ujiri. They reached the playoffs for the first-time since 2008, and were back in the top five Divisions. They have won five Division titles since then. Their most successful regular season was in 2018. Ujiri made a risky trade for Kawhi Leonard that resulted in DeMar DeRozan being traded to the San Antonio Spurs.

The Raptors had a fantastic 2019, clinching their first conference championship and making it to the NBA finals for the inaugural time. In six games, they defeated the Golden State Warriors.

Ujiri's tenure with the Raptors has been a resounding success, and he should be credited with changing the team's fortunes. The Raptors are now among the best in the NBA and look poised for greatness for the future.

The 2019 championship season, which was undoubtedly the best in Raptors history, will be a lasting memory.

Ujiri should and will continue to be focused on building a winning culture which supports the players and staff as we move forward. This team's future is bright if they continue to strive for excellence. The Toronto Raptors have set the bar high for 2019 with their championship season. Now, it is up to Ujiri's team to build on this success.
