In 1946, the city of Toronto hosted the first game in NBA history as the Knicks took on the Toronto Huskies. The Huskies lasted only one season, but nearly a half century later in 1995, the Toronto Raptors were born. In 1998, Vince Carter became the face of the franchise inspiring a new generation of Canadian ballers. And now the Raptors have taken an entire nation on an incredible ride to the NBA Finals.
