Oooh, fun.
Lowry, Siakam, JYD, Calderon and Charles Oakley.
EDIT: Augh. I need to make an HM for Vince, obviously. He was a lot of fun, circa 2000, 2001.

Keon had the first 'throw in' dunk of my memory (against the Mavericks I think?)
We all thought he was a big saviour and was gonna take us to another level. Agreed, shame.

Yeah, the Lanky Left boom dunk, I remember that.

He was fun. Solid defender. Athletic dude. Ugly turnaround J that always seemed to fall. I loved that team, man.

Muggsy Bogues - made a career in the nba despite being barely over 5ft.
Amir Johnson - cool dude
Jamario Moon - cool name and most underrated dunker in Raptors history
Hakeem Olajuwon - didn't work out, but I can't believe there's actual footage of the dream in a purple raptors jersey
OG+Ibaka - what about scarves

That was fun, even though he was old, broken and crap. It was just need to have that kind of player on the team for the aura, I guess. Did enjoy.

I remember him seeing do a Dream Shake, and that was super awesome. Like, flashes, memories of what used to be and all that. Kinda like MJ tossing up fades in Washington on a good night. He had a couple games that were fun. The one I remember most was a game against Detroit. He had 20 rebounds and 5 blocks and shot pretty well, one of his best scoring performances of the season. Vince had a good game. Rest of the starters didn't do well, bench mob was good. Effin Clifford Robinson lit us up in the second half, and then Vince and Dream faded in the 4th. But man, he seemed like he blocked every shot and grabbed every rebound. I had to look up the specific numbers, of course, because it's been a billion years, but I remember just feeling like he was EVERYWHERE that game, because he basically was.
