Everyone here obviously loves the Toronto Raptors. And as the NBA’s one franchise North of the Border, they represent not only the city of Toronto but Canada at large. They’re Canada’s team (move over Cowboys). However, as great as they are, they aren’t actually Canadian (besides Chris Boucher). They don’t adequately show the growth of the sport we love in the country we live.
No, we’re not going to puncture your eyes with the same old clichés about Canada Basketball like the Golden Age of Canada Basketball or dreaming up a WNBA team in Vancouver.
