How The Raptors Brought a Global Game to the NBA
On this episode of Open Gym presented by Bell, we take you behind the scenes on how the Toronto Raptors rebounded after losing Vince Carter to create a truly global team to support Chris Bosh on their quest for redemption. The young Toronto franchise took a page (and players) out of Europe to create their own international identity that reflected the city.
This episode features Toronto Raptors icons, Andrea Bargnani, José Calderón, Jorge Garbajosa, Bryan Colangelo, Anthony Parker and Chris Bosh.

Let’s go raptors
One of the best things the NBA accomplished was expanding into Canada.
It’s so hard to think we were the team that let Kobe go off
Ah the pre-Derozan and Lowry era. After the chip team, the Deebo + Lowry & bench mob teams, this 2008-2010 is my third fav
Primo Pasta and Sauce

Thank you for making this beautiful episode! That 06-07 team was so much fun and you did them justice. Thanks for letting us see those old faces again.
Great to see Bargnani's personality peak through a little bit.
I still remember being so devastated about Garbajosa injury. Also this team was ahead of its time. They would be perfect in today’s nba
