Here's a list of some current Raptors "signature moves" that you may have seen pop up in a game from time to time. Share some of your favorite "signature moves" that you've noticed throughout the last few seasons!
Kyle Lowry - The "If I think I'm Steph Curry, then I am Steph Curry" Deeper Than Deep 3-point shot where he kicks his legs out and draws a 4-point play.
DeMar DeRozan - DeMar has a lot of signature moves, but I think his most recognizable is his Euro Step. Another popular DeMar-ism is where he, in this exact order, goes up for a tough shot, grunts as if he got fouled, hits the deck, gives up on the play, stares at the ref, and slowly walks back to the other end of the court shaking his head.
Jonas Valanciunas - Jonas does this thing where he raises both his arms straight in the air after every play that he's involved in, whether it's him scoring a bucket, or him fouling someone, or walking back to the bench, or literally anything. Jonas touches the ball, whistle blows, Jonas' arms go up in the air as if he was on the show Cops.
DeMarre Carroll - DeMarre has 2 signature moves that he utilizes at least once every game. The first is where he scrunches his face up like a raisin after having a whistle blown against him, and then holds his palms up as if he was falsely accused of a crime, incredulous that fouls even exist in the NBA. DeMarre's second signature move is where he dribbles the ball twice and then PROMPTLY proceeds to lose the handle. I am pretty sure that DeMarre Carroll is incapable of dribbling a basketball for 3 consecutive bounces without the ball flying into his opponent's hands as if by some magnetic force.
Patrick Patterson - Patrick has this signature move where he forgets that he's a stretch-4, and he'll just call his own number and back his man into the post as if he has post moves. It's the same move every time, he'll back his man down starting from like the 3-point line (lol), and usually trip over himself in the process. Cuz you know Coach Casey is calling ISO's for Patrick Patterson...
Jakob Poeltl - My boy Jakob's signature move is what I call the "Dr Zoidberg Shuffle" named after the lobster character from Futurama. Jakob's lateral defense has a distinct "sideways lobster waddle" quality to it. Very aesthetically pleasing.
