Every fanbase has its villains. Random players who have destroyed them over the years, media members who continue to talk trash beyond their playing days, perhaps even NBA icons who have made a career of destroying another team’s hope. But no fanbase has a list of “self-villains” quite like the Toronto Raptors.
A “self-villain” is someone who managed to become a villainous figure to the Raptors fanbase, despite actually playing for the Toronto Raptors. These are players who either didn’t give full effort, disrespected the city of Toronto, or did some other type of evil behavior while playing with the team to earn “villain status”.
