It was the evening of June 28, 2010 when a young man from Compton hit send on what would become the most famous tweet in Raptors history:
It was the start of something that would turn out to be pretty damn special.
After Chris Bosh departed for the Miami Heat in the summer of 2010, he left the Raptors with a core of, um, Jose Calderon, Andrea Bargnani, and 20-year-old DeMar DeRozan. The fanbase was distraught after yet another star left us to go south, and DeRozan, perhaps with a bit of hubris he hadn’t yet earned, told us it was all gonna be all right.
