Toronto Raptors

The Toronto Raptors have some of the best fans in the NBA. You can find their arena sold out during the playoffs. People will still also show up to support their team outside. They’ll be watching in the aptly named Jurassic Park.

Before they became NBA champions, there was Vince Carter. He was one of the best high flyers the league has ever seen. He’s had enough highlights to film a movie. He was personally responsible for making the NBA Slam Dunk Contest popular again. Vince may be the greatest Raptors players of all-time.

People assumed that the Raptors that they’d fall out of the playoff picture after Kawhi Leonard left. Wrong. The Raptors still going strong. They still have all-star point guard Kyle Lowry and up-and-comers Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet holding things down.

Nebula

When Nebula lost at the end of the first Guardians of the Galaxy, we thought that may be the last we see of her. The Toronto Raptors had some talented players come and go and survived through some disappointing seasons. Yet, they managed to draft well, make some trades, and compete.

Nebula is the same way. It never mattered how many times she’s lost, she’s kept on battling. Thankfully, she’s fighting for the heroes now. Otherwise, she’d be a problem. No one wants to fight her. She always a tough opponent. The same can be said for the Raptors.
