Comments

Toronto joined the NBA in 1995-1996, when two Canadian teams joined the league. Following the transfer of the Vancouver Grizzlies to Memphis, Tennessee, in 2001-2002, the Raptors remained the only Canadian team in the NBA. Despite this apparent isolation, the team managed to recruit some of the league's biggest stars and broke attendance records for NBA games. Fans across the country rally around the team's slogan: We The North.
