@@geoffreyhigginson5290excuses , golden state win two championships with other players hurt what’s your point they still won and won big games to the finals would of could don’t win championships
You have to remember Ben is young and he’s not from Toronto to actually see the change in basketball in the city and how people went from not wanting to wear raptors jersey to kids starting to wear them like crazy. Vince Carter is the face of Raptors basketball. It was like taking the Argos and making them international.
He not wrong its his opinion, im older then Ben and i aint want his jersey retired either. Im not mad about it but they way he left wasn’t cool at all. Forgiven but ill never forget. Only reason why im coming around to jersey retirement is because maybe management on raptors side also wasn’t great at the time
While some raptors fans might not like the jersey with Raptor on it it’s getting good feedback from across the NBA as one of best city edition jerseys. I have to see it with the numbers and the shorts to fully take it in.
All I know is the old purple Dino Jerseys were iconic and most sought after for collectors. I've seen 4 or 5 shows where they discussed the best jerseys of all time, and that purple Dino edition is always mentioned. Though I'm not big on the colour purple, at least it was distinctive and not boring.
@@leonrichard7105you have to remember when the old jersey came out a lot of people didn’t like them either. Those jersey became popular in the last decade or so. People forgot why the raptors got rid of them. People were calling them the Barney’s. Team using to play the Barney theme music before games. Those jersey only became cool after the raptors got rid of them. Even with this jersey in 5 to 10 years from now you might have people fighting to get their hands on this jersey.
We will never truely know but if we had to face the exact same teams with the same players, i dont know if we wouldve won. Kawhi put our team on his back. He not only played stellar defence and stopped Giannis pretty much single handedly, he had argueably one of the greatest shots in NBA history to get us past a 76ers team that was stacked and wouldve probably won the title if they got past us
Yeah. I see you design team. Ball hetween the legs. Dick on the back lol But fr tho 2nd jersey is FIRE!! Love deebo wanna see 10 in rafters but no. No, he not taking raps in 2019 to chip. "Defense wins championships"
I assumed this was videotape earlier. The big story is now whether Ed Rogers approves of the new purple jersey. 🙄 Rogers purchased Bell’s share of MLSE for $4.7 billion. I guess the future of Masai Ujiri is definitely in doubt. How things quickly change. Hope you get a video out ASAP.
One would think that about Masai but Roger's has let an inept management team run the Jays for years now and it appears they'll get another shot too so🤷♂️
Vince moved the whole world, during his Toronto time. Even Kyle Lowrey thinks he is behind VC15 in terms of retiring shirt/number. Most popular athlete in the history of Canadian sports. Lest we forget....
You must not remember how the history went down then 😅 Ask your self this question did VC do more for the Raptors as an organization or for himself and basketball as a whole? I’d argue the latter and that he just happened to be doing it with black and purple jersey on. The guy gave zero fucks about Toronto
@@danielkeller9569 "Gave zero fucks about Toronto" lmao he put up nets around city, youth basketball camps, hosted charity games into he city, even brought bottle service to the club scene.
@@danielkeller9569 there no raptors without Vince Carter. This team was a joke before Vince Carter show up. I was in school when Vince Carter started playing for this team and if you were a kid wearing raptors jerseys before Carter they would laugh at you. If your parents bought you a raptors jersey you were not wearing that to school. Vince Carter changed that. It doesn’t matter how he left he made the raptors relevant.
Demar musta forgot how bad Jimmy owned him when Jimmy was on the Bulls. Didn't they beat us like 15 straight or something? He woulda got shut down by Jimmy and Ben Simmons. And Ben don't let these youngins bully you into accepting the Vince thing, I'd still boo him if I had the chance.
Awww... FFSs they're bringing back the tacky-ass purple dinosaur on the uniform?? I hated that look. Reminds me of the era when we were the league's b***h, being an easy win for the other teams.
Bruv Vince Carter put the raptors on the map what are you saying that we should retire Lowry jersey first are you fried watch the history of the raps please vinsanity/ Mr air Canada was the real deal
Buddy ur stuck in the early 2000s, VC didn’t give 2 fucks about the city. Lowry and DeRozan era actually brought the most competitive raptors era (before kawhi ofc)
I’ve said this over and over again. Deebo was the best Toronto Raptor in History. It’s not just about accolades, it’s that fact he was drafted here and genuinely loved the city. 6x All Star, 35th in all time NBA scoring, 3x All NBA. DeRozan is the GROAT Imo
Demar would've never won. We had the best performance of all time in playoff history from Kawhi. You must be psychotic to think Demar replacing Kawhi would've won lol.
Ive always been an advocate for Demar. He is the best raptor to ever put on the Raptors uniform. Also, people say Kawhi is the reason why we won 2k19 chip. I dont see clippers winning any since his been there. Say what you want but Demar and coach Casey played a big role on the process of winning that chip
You mustve forgotten the last playoff appearance Demar had with the Raps, Dwayne Casey had Demar on the bench. Likely because he had no D and 3. Those 2 couldnt get a chip, it was clearly Kawhi and NN.
@@kylestewart5191 yes, its because NN isnt there, also... Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka, Siakim, FVV, Danny Green, O.G., Boucher, Powell...actually Powell is there, but you get the point.

@@Ric-E...Ricardo he never said big role in winning it, he in the process of winning it. Masai wanted to trade Lowrys ass first , obviously the spurs wanted DeRozan not klow
I think it would be a classy move for the Raptors to recognize a player that ushered in our winning years with Kyle Lowry. I think it would buy some goodwill among most players across the league, and tell them: "If you come to Toronto and give us your heart, Toronto and Canada as a nation will embrace and love you back. Also, that the Raptors is a classy organization that takes care of its players and their legacy. I loved DRoz when he was here and would gladly welcome him back to finish off his career--even though I don't agree with his take about winning the championship here if he had stayed. In that trade, it was not just Kawai that put us over the top, Gasol and Danny Green played a big role in that championship run.
If they are going purple even a little darker would be good then no red just white or silver. The red and purple clash like crazy. Never liked Dino look and never buy any of it.
what would be poetic is if Debo and Lowry are still good friends, they could sign a one day contract at the same time and play their last game together
All that teasing just for a mid 20+ year old jersey? And it won't even be the main jersey??? They didn't even change anything lmfao. That's embarrassing. This FO is pathetic.
Back up to a 7 today.. you must have lost 10 minutes of sleep somewhere? Maybe hit the porn too hard and your life choices set in so now you are taking it out on YT comments? Either way, hope life gets better buttercup
I would love to have DeMar's talent, leadership and experience back.
Demar I hear it, demar i like it 🎉
I am happy the purple is back but I was hoping for something alittle different
There is NO WAY Toronto would have won with DeRozen in place of Kawhi
Maybe, also no way Toronto won that without the golden states players being injured
@@geoffreyhigginson5290Injuries are apart of the game, we can play that game for EVERY NBA finals.

DeMar DeRozan is the best Toronto Raptor to play the game. He is the GOAT for Toronto's Team!!
They couldve kept the chevrons pointing up, since 'we the north' has already been established
Kendrick shot down any chance of D-Rose coming back to TO

Put some respect on his name
Him and Lowry should retire together with Toronto as a historic Raptors backcourt.
Jones Ruth Walker Cynthia Jackson Margaret
Lol Demar Delusional still thinking we traded him for “a little bit of nothing” 😂😂😂
It's rare to have a player love the city and organization like DD. Gotta give him respect for that.
Derozan . Coming back . That would be 🔥 🔥

The city jersey not the greatest, we just neeed to get rid of the red and white jerseys... Were the raptors
but Kendrick said you don't deserve him neither
We need to start filling up the rafters with raptor jerseys so im with it
You earned my sub. Good stuff!
Listening to Demar be like.. 😴💤💤💤
Purple are horrible lol. I thought we were passed them
Sorry to tell you but Lowry isn’t the best raptor
Purple is for clowns

This is nuts Vince built everything he should definitely go ahead of Lowry
He is, Raptors are retiring his jersey second game into the season
