Frequently Asked Questions

Vancouver had an NBA team.

Vancouver doesn't have a NBA franchise. The Vancouver Grizzlies were the city's basketball team from 1995 to 2001. In 2001, they moved to Memphis Tennessee. Now, basketball enthusiasts in Vancouver support the Toronto Raptors as they are the closest NBA team to the area. Other professional basketball teams also play in the Greater Vancouver Area such as the BC Tigers, Canadian Elite Basketball League, and Vancouver Volcanoes, International Basketball League. Numerous amateur and semiprofessional basketball teams participate in various local leagues.

Aside from playing basketball, there are many other recreational outlets for fans in Vancouver to connect with their favourite sport. The Vancouver Grizzlies Alumni Association, for example, is a group that aims to bring back former players and increase awareness about basketball in British Columbia. It hosts clinics and viewing parties at Raptors games.

Although the Grizzlies have left Vancouver, the city's love and passion for basketball is not diminishing. The community continues to support the sport in numerous ways. Vancouverites continue their love for basketball by supporting former players, attending Raptors games and supporting other initiatives that help spread awareness about the game within the city.

What year did the Raptors beat Chicago Bulls?

The Raptors defeated Chicago Bulls (who would win the NBA Championship the following year) on March 24, 1996. Final score was 109-108. Michael Jordan attempted a last second shot to win the Bulls game. However, it was not recorded because it was after midnight.

Which was the Raptors' best year?

The 2019 championship season was Toronto Raptors’ best year. It was a memorable and thrilling season for the Raptors. This was their first ever NBA Championship. The team posted a 58-24 record during the regular season, with Kawhi Leonard named Finals MVP. They beat the Golden State Warriors six times to win the title.

The Toronto Raptors reorganized their front office in 2013, replacing Bryan Colangelo with Masaiujiri. This move would herald a new age for the franchise. They would be one of the best in the NBA.

The Raptors experienced a revival under Ujiri. They reached the playoffs for the first-time since 2008, and were back in the top five Divisions. They've won five Division titles since then and had their best regular season in 2018. Ujiri also made an unorthodox but successful trade in that year, sending DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard to the San Antonio Spurs.

The Raptors had a phenomenal 2019, winning their first conference crown and making it to NBA finals. They conquered the Golden State Warriors in a total of six games.

Ujiri's time with the Raptors was a great success. He should be credited for helping to change the team's fortunes. The Raptors are one of the top teams in the NBA thanks to his leadership and appear poised to remain contenders for many more years.

The 2019 championship season will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the best years in the Raptors' history.

Ujiri should and will continue to be focused on building a winning culture which supports the players and staff as we move forward. This team is looking brighter with their continued dedication to excellence. The 2019 championship season has set the bar for Toronto Raptors, and it's up to Ujiri and his team to continue building on this success.

When was the Raptors first ever playoff win?

Toronto won their first-ever playoff series as they defeated New York 3-2 in 2001, advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time in franchise history under head coach Lenny Wilkens.
