Frequently Asked Questions
Which was the first season of the Toronto Raptors?
The Toronto Raptors lost 21 games in their first season. The 1995-1996 Toronto Raptors season marked the beginning of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Toronto Raptors. The Raptors, along the Vancouver Grizzlies were two expansion teams that joined this league. It was also a first NBA season that was played outside of the United States.
All-Star point guard and former Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas became the team's General Manager. He helped with the draft, which yielded Damon Stoudamire, who would go on to win Rookie of the Year. They also traded for Tracy Murray and Oliver Miller. Thomas introduced a new primary symbol of a dinosaur playing in basketball and new pinstripe unis with the logo at the front of their jerseys. The Raptors added purple to their color scheme.
Brendan Malone was the Raptors' new head coach. They won against the New Jersey Nets at SkyDome on November 3. However, they lost their next seven matches.
Murray was second in scoring with 16.2 points per game. He also led the team with 151 three point field goals. Miller had 12.9 points per game, 1.4 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.9 block per match, while Robertson was responsible for 9.3 points with 4.4rebounds, four assists, two steals per contest off the bench.
Despite their worst record in the league, they had a very high attendance, with over 17283 people per game at SkyDome (now Rogers Centre).
When was the Raptors' inaugural game?
The Raptors' first regular season was played at the SkyDome against the New Jersey Nets, November 3, 1995. Alvin Robertson scored his first points in franchise history. 33,306 people were there. The Raptors beat the Nets 94 to 79 thanks to contributions by Damon Stoudamire (10 pts and 10 assists), and Robertson (30 points).
Why did NBA leave Vancouver?
Because of a dispute with Vancouver's City Council over arena financing, NBA had to leave Vancouver. The City was going to contribute $40 million towards constructing a new basketball arena, which would include 12 luxury suites, two restaurants, a bar, and a hotel. The City Council decided to give $60 million to the team owners to help pay off existing debt. The city would need to borrow $200 million to construct the arena. However, the owners of the team only had to repay $20 million in debt. The city would have to pay the remainder of the loan back.
The City Council said they were willing to go ahead with the plan if the NBA agreed to stay at Rogers Arena until after the opening of the new facility. The league refused to sign on, claiming that the arena was no longer large enough. Because it was too small, they didn't want anymore to play there. They felt it unfair to ask them for more revenue by asking them to stay in the smaller venue.
The City Council then asked the province to step in and help out by offering financial assistance. The province agreed to provide $150 million towards the project, but the City Council still needed another $100 million. That's when the City decided to drop its plans and focus on building a new downtown arena instead.
Vancouver ever had a team in the NBA?
Vancouver doesn't have a NBA franchise. From 1995 to 2001, the city was home to the Vancouver Grizzlies. However, the team moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 2001. Vancouver's basketball community supports the Toronto Raptors because they are the closest NBA team. Other professional basketball teams also play in the Greater Vancouver Area such as the BC Tigers, Canadian Elite Basketball League, and Vancouver Volcanoes, International Basketball League. Many amateur and semiprofessional teams play in different local leagues.
Aside from playing basketball, there are many other recreational outlets for fans in Vancouver to connect with their favourite sport. 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. This association organizes events like viewing parties for Raptors games or clinics to help young athletes develop their game.
The city's passion for basketball has not diminished after the departure of the Grizzlies. It continues to support the sport in many ways. Vancouverites still love basketball, and they continue to support former players and other organizations who work to promote the sport within the city.
What was the Raptors' greatest year?
Toronto Raptors' best year was the 2019 championship season. It was a thrilling, memorable season for Toronto Raptors. The Raptors won their first NBA Championship in franchise history. Kawhi Leonard was named Finals Champion after a team record of 58-24. The Golden State Warriors were defeated in six games by the team to win the title.
In 2013, the Toronto Raptors changed their front office, replacing then-general manager Bryan Colangelo with Masai Ujiri. This move would herald a new age for the franchise. They would be one of the best in the NBA.
Under Ujiri, the Raptors enjoyed a resurgence, reaching the playoffs in 2014 for the first time since 2008. They've won five Division titles since then and had their best regular season in 2018. Ujiri also made a risky, but profitable trade that year and sent DeMar DeRozan over to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Kawhi Leonard.
The Raptors had an incredible 2019, winning their first conference championship, and reaching the NBA finals. They beat the Golden State Warriors in six games.
Ujiri's time with the Raptors was a great success. He should be credited for helping to change the team's fortunes. The Raptors are now among the best in the NBA and look poised for greatness for the future.
The 2019 Raptors championship season will always be remembered as one among the best in their 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's future is bright if they continue to strive for excellence. The Toronto Raptors' 2019 championship season was a milestone. It is up to Ujiri, his team and their continued success to improve on this achievement.
What does "We The North” mean?
The phrase "We The North," also known as We The North Nation, is an anthem used by the Toronto Raptors. It was created by Drake and Noah Shebib (producer).
Drake wrote the song in Toronto while staying with a friend. He completed his album Take Care with Kanye West. While there, Drake decided to write some lyrics about his hometown. Drake wanted it to be universally applicable. The song talks about unity, pride, and hope.
Drake began work on the melody of We The North's single "Nice For What" when he went to London to film the video. He recorded the instrumental version in just one take.
While Drake was writing the lyrics for the track, 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. They collaborated to create the final product.
The official music video to "We The North Anthem", was released October 5, 2018. It featured Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes performing along with Drake and other musicians.
