The Fan-Favourite... a long time staple in all sports; and especially so with the Toronto Raptors.
Very rarely are they the most polarizing figure on the team... or the lead scorer... or the lead anything really ... but they always hold the largest space in the Fans hearts, almost solely due to their own heart, hustle and dedication to the team.
My All-Time Top 5 FFs would be:
1) JYD - I vividly remember the entire ACC chanting JYD on a few different occasions.
2) Mo Pete - Toronto Raptor for Life. I remember his first game back in Toronto, he went to Center court and kissed the logo ... Grade-A individual.
3) Alvin Williams - Enough said.
4) Amir Johnson - Not sure there has ever been anyone who's done for more for the city and the fans.
5) Tyler Hansbrough - This one is a prediction. But I can envision chants of "PHY-CHO T" just like the days of "J-Y-D"
Who comes to mind when you think Toronto Raptors Fan-Favourites?
Is Toronto unique in its appreciation of the under-appreciated?
