So the Toronto Raptors kick off their 13th season tonight, and to celebrate, I decided to share my list of my 5 favorite Raptors of all time. The picks were solely based on likability, not athletic ability, so this list is not the 5 BEST Raps ever, alright, now with that being said, prepare to take a wonderful trip down memory lane, and enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

Number 5

Mugsy Bogues

The 5 foot three, 136 pound little man concluded his career in Toronto playing in 83 games between 1999 and 2001. He was just a straight up lovable guy, who was really fun to watch, don't believe me, click on the hilarious pic of Mugs and my main man Minute Bol, and be ready to have you mind changed. Who doesn't love to cheer for the underdog?

Number 4

Dee Brown

1991 Slam Dunk Contest won me over. ( Click the No Look pic for one of the best dunk videos around.) He was a Raptor for 89 games between 1998 and 2000. Basically I loved him every where he went after the No Look Dunk. I broke my face a couple of times trying to duplicate that dunk at my buddy Verno's house, so don't tell me it's easy, it's a heck of a lot sweeter than Cedric Ceballos's Blind Fold dunk, well you be the judge, the Ceballos dunk can be seen HERE.

Number 3

Chris Bosh

The current franchise, just click on Cowboy Chris, then prepare to change your underpants, because you will pee in them!

Number 2

JYD

I would honestly say that Jerome Williams was probably the most beloved Raptor of all time, a true man of the people, his smile was genuine, and his passion for the game was seen every night, thanks to his gritty play, a pleasure to watch. Don't agree? Click on the purple JYD, and just enjoy!

Number 1

John Salley

He only played in 25 games, during the Raptors inaugural season, but the Spider is straight up freaking hilarious. You've seen him on Fox's Best Damn Sports Show Period, but have you seen him on the court? He was awesome, and that's why he's number one! Oh yeah, did I mention he's funny, click the baseball Sal to see his acting skills.

Honroable Mention goes out to The Red Rocket Matt Bonner, who got the nickname because he rode the public transportation to home games, that's my kind of guy. So there you have it, that's my list, don't like it? Lucky for you, I don't care, but you can let me know who's on your list, just by clicking on that post a comment button, and then typing your list.
