A time long, long ago when people still collected physical copies of CD’s (2013), Amir Johnson went out to an HMV at Yonge and Dundas Square in Toronto and purchased every copy of Drake’s third album “Nothing Was the Same”. He then went out into the square and handed out the copies to fans for free. Amir Johnson got it. He understood Toronto Raptors fans.
He arrived on the Raptors in 2009 and quickly endeared himself to the fanbase. He played the kind of hard-nosed game that made it feel like you were out there on the court with him.
