Tracy Murray, Original Toronto Raptor

Original Toronto Raptor and NBA Champion Tracy Murray talks about the Smiling Assassin Isaiah Thomas bringing him to Toronto, playing in that very first Raptors game in 1995 (in front of Cindy Crawford/Samuel L Jackson/Geena Davis), shoutouts to his OG Raptors teammates Damon Stoudamire/Acie Earl/Carlos Rogers/Jimmy King/Oliver Miller, living in the SkyDome hotel alongside neighbour Robbie Alomar and simply taking the elevator to get to games, hanging out with Hulk Hogan/Mats Sundin/The Undertaker/Tie Domi/Pinball Clemons/Roger Clemens, clubbing at The Roxbury with Dr Jerry Buss and Earvin Magic Johnson, educating Toronto fans on the correct use of ThunderStix, beating Michael Jordan and his world champion Chicago Bulls (with an off-court assist from John The Spider Salley), dropping 50 on the Golden State Warriors while with the Washington Bullets, coming full circle as both a teammate and coach for The Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, a very harrowing winter car drive up the Don Valley Parkway to Scarborough, and why he was nonplussed to have Barney the Dinosaur’s theme song played during road games!
