One day the Raptors will honour their best. DeMar should be first

The cheers will be louder than they’ve been for any other returning ex-Raptor when DeMar DeRozan appears on the Scotiabank Arena court Friday night as a member of the San Antonio Spurs.

The outpouring of love from the sellout crowd will be unprecedented because of the impact he had on the team, the city and the country during a storied nine years in a Toronto uniform.

DeMar DeRozan was unwavering in his love for the Raptors, the city, the country, embodied all that the franchise wanted in a great player and never put himself above the team, Doug Smith writes.
