Billups is going to challenge the foul on Walker. Some contact, not much, and Jabari was rather vertical. Now we wait, game tied at 81s. – 9:04 PM

Vince Carter had a huge impact on Canadian basketball, which is one reason his HOF honour is deserved. But the notion he ‘saved’ the Raptors is oversold. The Leafs bought the Raptors in Feb. ’98 and they moved into ACC together the following year (Vince’s rookie season). /1 – 3:35 PM

Vince Carter is the most polarizing figure in Raptors history, maybe in Toronto sports history. Love him, hate him, or even a bit of both, there’s no denying his impact on the sport in this country. If there was any doubt about his HOF case, his remarkable longevity settled it. – 12:25 PM

Billups was traded just before the Raptors got Carter for Jamison on draft day. So the new Hall of Famers were close to being teammates, but not quite. Otherwise could have had three HOFers on near expansion Raptors (T-Mac, Vince, Billups). – 12:00 PM
