Frequently Asked Questions
What is the name for the Toronto Raptors' mascot, the Toronto Raptors?
The Toronto Raptors are a NBA franchise which was established in 1995. They play their games in Scotiabank Arena.
The Raptors' mascot is Raptor, a giant red dinosaur. Raptor first appeared in 1995. He is also a regular at charity events and community initiatives in Toronto. In 2019, he received the NBA Mascot of the Year award for his many years of service to the Raptors organization. Raptor has become a familiar figure in Toronto as well around the NBA. He is also a symbol of Canada's passion for basketball.
Many throughout the city and country share Raptor's enthusiasm for his team and its fans. Raptor is the Raptors' leader, and they have been one of most successful NBA teams since winning their first championship in 2019. This was a major milestone for basketball lovers in Canada and Toronto. Raptor is a source of pride for all Raptors family members. Raptors pride will continue to be strong as long as he's here. Long live the Raptor! Go, Toronto Raptors!
When were the Raptors able to beat the Chicago Bulls.
The Raptors defeated the Chicago Bulls on March 24, 1996 to win the NBA Championship. The final score was 110-108. Michael Jordan attempted a last second shot to win the Bulls game. However, it was not recorded because it was after midnight.
Which was the Raptors' best year?
The 2019 NBA Championship season was the Toronto Raptors best year. The Raptors won the NBA Championship for the first time in their history. It was an exciting and memorable season. Kawhi Leonard was named Finals MVP after the team posted a record of 58-24 during the regular season. They beat the Golden State Warriors six times to win the title.
The Toronto Raptors reorganized their front office in 2013, replacing Bryan Colangelo with Masaiujiri. This move would herald a new age for the franchise. They would be one of the best in the NBA.
The Raptors were able to make a comeback under Ujiri and made it to the playoffs in 2014. Since then, they've won five Division titles and had their most successful regular season in 2018. Ujiri also made an unorthodox but successful trade in that year, sending DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Raptors had an incredible 2019, winning their first conference championship, and reaching the NBA finals. They conquered the Golden State Warriors in a total of six games.
Ujiri has been an outstanding success with the Raptors and deserves to be credited for turning around the team's fortunes. The Raptors are one of the top teams in the NBA thanks to his leadership and appear poised to remain contenders for many more years.
The 2019 championship season is certain to be one of the most memorable in Raptors' history.
As we advance, Ujiri and the rest of the Toronto Raptors organization should remain focused on creating a winning culture that supports their players and staff. This team is looking brighter with their continued dedication to excellence. The 2019 Toronto Raptors Championship season has set a high bar, and Ujiri and his teammates must build on this success.
What are the five most successful Raptors per-game scorers throughout Raptors' history?
Kawhi Leonard is the highest scorer on the team with 26.6 points per game, followed by Vince Carter with 23.4, Mike James with 20.3, Chris Bosh with 20.2, and DeMar DeRozan with 19.7 points per game, respectively.
How was the Toronto Raptors' first year?
The first season of the NBA for Toronto Raptors was difficult. Brendan Malone was hired by Isiah Thomas to be the head coach. The team quickly acquired many talented players through drafts and trades. They lost to the Chicago Bulls one time that season, but they ended up with a 21–61 win-loss record overall.
Toronto drafted Marcus Camby (Rookie of The Year) in 1996. Camby joined the Toronto starting line-up along with Alvin Williams at guard. Damon Stoudamire, who was later traded, was also traded. Toronto tried to build a foundation to succeed in the future by making more roster changes.
Despite all the changes, the team struggles throughout its first few seasons in the NBA. Toronto finally made it to the playoffs in 2000 after a period for rebuilding and transition. Unfortunately, the New York Knicks won the series.
Vancouver ever had a team in the NBA?
Vancouver doesn't have a NBA franchise. The Vancouver Grizzlies were the city's basketball team from 1995 to 2001. In 2001, they moved to Memphis Tennessee. Vancouver basketball fans support the Toronto Raptors, as they are the nearest NBA team to their area. The Greater Vancouver Area also hosts professional basketball teams, such as Vancouver Volcanoes and the Canadian Elite Basketball League's BC Tigers. A number of amateur and semiprofessional teams participate in various local leagues.
Vancouver is home to many other sports fans. For example, the Vancouver Grizzlies Alumni Association is a group that strives to connect former players from the team with each other and also bring awareness of basketball in British Columbia. The association hosts events such as viewing parties for Raptors games and clinics to help young players develop their game.
Although the Grizzlies have left Vancouver, the city's love and passion for basketball is not diminishing. The community continues to support the sport in numerous ways. Vancouverites continue to show their passion for basketball by attending local games, watching Raptors games and supporting the many initiatives undertaken by former players and other organizations working to spread awareness about basketball within the city.
