Original Toronto Raptors legend Vince Carter was in the building as member of the Atlanta Hawks when Kyle Lowry took sole possession of the Raptors’ franchise career lead in assists. After the game, Carter himself admitted that Lowry likely deserves the title of the greatest Raptor ever.
On Friday night, Lowry added another credential to his case to be the all-time face of the franchise, passing none other than Carter to move into third place in points as a raptor with his 9,422nd point.
Ahead of Lowry on the list is Chris Bosh with 10,275 points, and Lowry’s best friend for life, DeMar DeRozan with the franchise high mark of 13,296.
