        Honourable Mention - TJ Ford. How can i forget about him??

        Anyhow, Top 7 is pretty easy. 8-10 is pretty tough. Maybe i should just change the title to "Top 7 Greatest Raptors of All Time?" lol

          Vince Carter is at the very top for me, lots of NBA players/people really got into the NBA/Basketball/Raptors because of him.

            in all seriousness... there really is no doubt, despite all the hurt butts he left in Toronto (mine included). VC at his peak is so far ahead of anybody else who could potentially be on the list.. the reality is a top 10 greatest raptors of all time list should go:

            1. VC
            2. TBD
            3. TBD
            4. TBD
            5. TBD
            6. TBD
            7. TBD
            8. TBD
            9. TBD
            10. Jorge Garbajosa

            the lack of GREATNESS in our franchise is overwhelming

              I would definitely include Bosh, Parker, and Calderon in that list. I wasn't following the team until BC arrived to be honest with you.

                  i stress the word GREAT.

                  Jose is good. REALLY REALLY good. but the best that "good" can be, still isn't GREAT.

                  I left the eight "To Be Determined" spots between VC and Garbs because Garbs was the best player on that Atlantic division championship team BY FAR... but it was a championship in horribly weak division... without him, the lesser talented players on the team weren't even able to pretend to be competitive

                  the optimist in me says we'll eventually have a championship in a competitive division some day, and those spots are reserved for them.

                    I limited my list only to players that actually wanted to be in Toronto.

                      Here are the greats you excluded:

                      Oakley should be in there, I say 3 seasons is clearly enough to establish yourself. After all, when we whine about a lack of tough defense we often site the 'Oakley' years.

                      Keon Clark should always get a honourable mention, just because.

                      Anthony Parker, because no one knew who he was, and then we did, and we're all better people for having him spent time here.

                      Chris Childs - A.K.A. - Little Mugger - He makes my 'not so' honourable mention. If he isn't out there stabbing someone, well, I guess that's a good thing for whomever.

                      GarJo, not Garbo, Garjo - 2 games people, that was it. Wow.

                      Doug Christie might be a little higher in my list. If someone says Tracey Murray, I get punchy.

                      Voshon Leonard and Milt Palacio are being ignored on this thread....that's a bummer haha.

                        Thoughts?

                        Note: I didn't include McGrady, Oakley and Camby because they weren't around very long.

                        Also, I think Rudy Gay and Jonas Valanciunas will on the top 5 list one day.
                        Thats the worst top 10 list i've ever seen. No JYD!?

                            JYD's a role player. And no he's not better than any of the 10 guys that i listed.

                              When I think "great Raptors" I think not only skilled players on the court, but impactful from a franchise perspective too.

                              I really think finding 10 legit options is a stretch for such a young franchise. Here are the guys I would include on any "great Raptors" list:

                              1. Damon Stoudamire - Mighty Mouse introduced the basketball world to the Raptors and Toronto
                              2. Vince Carter - Vinsanity brought Raptors basketball to a whole new level
                              3. Chris Bosh - CB4 ended the Raptors' post-VC dark ages
                              4. Morris Peterson - Mr. Raptor had the heart, hustle and skill, should have been the first 'lifer'


                              I think there's a significant drop to whoever would qualify for #5 on that list. Alvin Williams, Jose Calderon, Doug Christie and JYD are the guys who jump out as being in the next tier, but I don't think any of them deserve to be mentioned with those 4.
