The World Cup means something special to everyone, whether you're a hardcore soccer fan (or football if you're in Europe) or a casual fan. It's a time where nations and cultures get together to watch games. Well, Canada and the Toronto Raptors can be involved in their own Mini World Cup this summer.
There has been a proposal from the league that they might try to emulate the FIFA world cup style tournament. So in this specific format, the most likely scenario is four groups of five teams. This would include the top twenty teams in the league, which is a good way compromising those teams who were not so far off a playoff spot.
