The Toronto Raptors are a professional basketball team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The team was established in 1995, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, as part of the NBA's expansion into Canada. Like most expansion teams, the Raptors struggled in their early years; but after the acquisition of Vince Carter through a draft day trade in 1998, the team set league attendance records and made the NBA Playoffs in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Carter was instrumental in leading the team to their first playoff series win in 2001, where they advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. During the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons, they failed to make significant progress and he was traded in 2004. After Carter left, Chris Bosh emerged as the team leader. This is how a Toronto Raptors Game look like.
