RJ Barrett Reflects on His Rise: How He Became the Player He Is Today | Open Gym S14E02

In Episode 2 of Open Gym Season 14 presented by Bell, RJ Barrett sits down to reflect on the journey that shaped him — from his early days in Canada, to Duke, to the NBA, and ultimately becoming the player he is today with the Toronto Raptors.

This behind-the-scenes feature dives into RJ’s evolution on and off the court: his development, his mindset, the pressures of being a top prospect, and the pride he carries representing Toronto and Canada on the NBA stage.

Episode 2 also takes you back to the first month of the Raptors’ ’25-’26 season journey from the rough start, to the NBA Cup run, to the streak that got the city fired up.

Gain exclusive insight into RJ’s work ethic, growth, family influence, and the moments that molded his career.

    Who knew that RJ, not BI, would turn out to be the true “bucket-getter” on this team? BI has to be missing RJ, and the role he plays, more than anyone else on the team. The Raptor’s offence has often appeared moribund in his absence, and I cannot wait until he returns (hopefully next Tuesday) and it again becomes one of the top-ranked offences in the league.

    love pulling for a hometown hero, ever since he came I always want him to drive to the basket as he is quite a force down low.
