I refuse to click the link. This is the Raptors equivalent of being RickRoll'd. LOL.
IMHO, KL2 gets number two. VC gets 3. DD gets 4.

It does. Still doesn't make him any more than a mercenary for this franchise.
He's way more than a mercenary. He played his absolute hardest and won us a title. There's nothing to criticize his attitude or play for. He left it all on the court.

I agree with everything in bold completely. And yet he was still a mercenary for this franchise.

DeMar was here for years building a career on accolades he doesn't deserve. Why isn't he a mercenary?

I don't think so. He came for one year to an organization that he didn't want to be any part of, did his job to the best of his ability, and left at his first opportunity. That's the purest definition of a mercenary there is. And perhaps Dave Winfield wasn't even the best example. Kawhi was basically what Roger Clemens was for the Blue Jays, just with team success (the best pitcher in baseball who came to Toronto for the money, posted a few of the best seasons in MLB history as a Jay, and left at his first chance). Do you think Clemens is making any all-time best Blue Jays lists any time soon despite being one of the best pitchers who ever lived and posting his best ever seasons with the organization?

Winning a title, smashing viewership records on least on 8 different occasions, 3 million people attending the parade, over 35 USA national TV games tells me the VC era was miniscule compared to this season. And this is coming from a guy who watched basketball cause of VC and wants to see his jersey retiredSandman88 wrote:Vince did more for Basketball in Canada and longevity matters.
