What did he do for the Raptors? Kobe killed him in the 81 pt game as well. Must be a slow night in Toronto.

I will say that the Raptors' marketing folks are doing a great job. They're choosing a good mix of obvious fan-favorite choices in with broadly popular players with universal name recognition (ie: Rose - fab 5, broadcasting), while also not being afraid to court controversy. All of this adds up to something that people are talking about, both Raptors fans and NBA fans outside of Toronto.

Wearing the throwbacks and having a Jalen Rose (ESPN) tribute while on the road seemed odd to me at first, but it totally makes sense with this in mind.

I'm not saying Jalen deserves to be honoured or not... but why do very few people remember what he did here for 2 years? Does no one remember the "honey moon" win streak we had? That was, in large part, thank to Jalen (and Marshall). There was also that time he played through a game with a broken hand.

On a side note, he did mention that if T-mac stayed, the Raptors would have won championships in the 2000's.
