The year 2014 was over a decade ago; that’s a long time. It’s also the year the Toronto Raptors unveiled their new identity for a new era. Embracing a new persona that was gritty, down to Earth, and unequivocally Canadian, summed up in three words:
We The North.
Under this new banner, Toronto saw epic highs and lows, culminating in the 2019 Championship over the Golden State Warriors and the joyous hoisting of the Larry O’Brien Trophy, forever cementing that team in the history books.
In the more than half-decade since, our franchise players have come and gone thrice over, in Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, and Pascal Siakam.
