I am Canadian but I have lived in the UK for 5 years, and am about to move the the United Arab Emirates on a 2 year contract. I take my role as a global ambassador far more seriously than Drake does.

We missionaries travel the globe spreading the message of the Masai. Sadly many of the heathens have been led astray by The King of Darkness LeBeelzebub.

I live in Scotland but I'm Lithuanian, so obviously JV brought me here. Back in 2012 I only really cared about him, but here I am 5 years later supporting the whole team, doesn't even matter if Val is playing or not.

Raps fan from Latvia.
Fell in love with the Raptors when I got the NBA Live 2000 on ps1 back in the day and could shred any other team with VC. Been following the team ever since. We didn't have good (if any) NBA coverage here at the time, therefore, for me as a kid it all essentially came down to choosing a team with the best logo and following it. The decision was made between the Raptors and the Timberwolves lol.

Do I count? I've got dual US-Canadian citizenship. Born in Michigan, now living in Onterrible. Probably going to move back to America due to the direction of where this province is going but that's for another thread...

They are my second sporting love after my football (soccer) team.

Cool. What was it that made you (and others from overseas that are in this thread) gravitate to the Raptors?

Oh, and I'm a dual citizen born and raised in GTA/Toronto Proper. One half of my family is from NYC. I was a die hard Knicks fan right up until our inaugural season. The Raptors both saved me from the purgatorial dysfunction of what was to become of the Knicks and introduced me to the wild bi-polarity of this team and our fan base. I've loved every second.

I never thought the time would come where we would we see repeat playoff berths, multiple all stars, back to back 50 win seasons, and a legitimate shot to compete. Feels good man.
