Great start to this series…thanks! Great to see the foundation that was needed for the franchise to eventually arrive at Ibaka, VanVleet, Powell and Gasol playing out of their minds in the late spring of 2019!
I definitely remember being home and watching the Raps beat the Bulls. SkyDome was NOT a basketball venue. A shame that McGrady didn't even call them back about being interviewed, but total props to Stoudamire for showing up and being honest. Very enjoyable first part, I patiently await part 2.
This is excellent and comprehensive. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. It's kinda disappointing that Isaiah Thomas and T-Mac weren't around to be interviewed. I really hope we get to see Butch Carter and some others. I'd be sad if Chuck Swirsky isn't interviewed.
Appreciate Alvin's honesty, 100% facts that players didn't want to play here or Vancouver. That's just the reality. We still struggle with issues although not nearly as bad now.
Life long fan. Booed Damon at the draft in 95..sitting in the Nose Bleeds. Man. Since that year it's been on..'19 parade was unreal!! Can't wait to watch the rest of these I wish they would've covered the 96 draft. The raps won the 1st pick, but there was a rule put in place that expansion teams couldn't win the 1st pick for a few years after becoming a franchise. Smh
@KardiFan2000 facts. I remember reading articles about playing Both AI and Damon..looking back. We should've drafted Ray Allen over Camby to sure up the backcourt. Alvin Rob was old
Hold up, is it just me or Mickeal Jordan shot it when there was 0 second. put the video to 0.25 and the ball was still in his hands, then like 3 seconds later the ball got off his hand. NWM THEY DIDNT COUNT IT sorry. Anyways good episode
I'm surprised when discussing the Raptors colours they showed an SNL clip of Adam Sandler and Chris Farley from an "alternative lifestyle" beer commercial...

Thanks for uploading it on here as well. Was a lot better of a watch without all the TV commercials.
Loving all the throwback footage. Looking forward to the next ep!

Not a Raptor's fan but this was a great watch, looking forward to episode 2.
@soulow_one who is your team
I still love the original Raptors logo and jerseys. Very 90's but I still love them. I don't regret buying a M&N authentic 99 Carter jersey.
great first ep
Glad you liked it! 🔥
HBO quality right here

18:21 Glad the Accounting Guy from Price Chopper made it to the game
After watching this documentary I'm thinking Steve Kerr got punched in the face by Michael Jordan the very next practice after this game😂😂😂
Great First episode I Cannot wait for the next one
Amazing 🦖
Thanks for watching! 🦖
90's baby here so gatdamn, it's always a great feeling seeing the upbringing of my Raptors!😤🍻🍺
i lived through all of this
Great episode, can’t wait until late January for next episode though.

OMG!!! Thank god we avoided lime green! 🤮

Crazy! The Raps could've had A.I. ...the NBA really did their best to ruin the Raptors early on.

Wow
[3:46] if we ever need another logo, could we please use some of these, instead of the the normal ball with the claw marks
Never a raptors fan but great film
Nuggets were trying to relocate to Toronto?!
they were in financial trouble in Denver at the time. Also Cleveland almost moved to Toronto in the early 80's
What an alternate timeline that would have been 🤯
Crazy how we did t draft 1
the NBA picked the wrong ownership group to give an expansion franchise to and led to chaos for many years way to go David Stern
It's sports bro, nothing's written in stone.
idk why they're bringing up old memories but the "sky dome" smh smh. Damon was just an ok player
The classic Raptors' jersey is ironic.
I missed David Stern. He fixed everything with a smile on his face… he could be tough on the owners, but look what it got the owners $$$$$.
Wow boy does Richard Peddie suck. Isiah didn't deserve this sportsnet. Once again you guys trying to make the Raptors look like a joke.
Didn't deserve what? They gave him an opportunity to give his side in this documentary, and he turned them down.
Should’ve traded Damon for Sam Cassell
The trade for Alvin worked out, he was a key addition to those playoff teams during the VC era.
Why is this on here i thought this was a hockey page
