No it does not. Explain it in a correct context or just accept it is a misapplied nonsensical use of the term.
You can't see what he means from a sports perspective?
He means that Raptors fans, once stuck with a player, will irrationally convince themselves to start liking them even if they didn't before.
I think everything is pretty damn rational in regards to Ross, but it's certainly been true in the past.
Knicks fans are still the best at this though. I remember when Channing Frye was the next Duncan. Good times.
I thought he meant that because the Raptors continue to be so poorly run, it's as if they are "trapped" into following a shi**y and hopeless product - But then they lap up the team more than anyone else anyways - thus stockholme syndrome
