1995-96 Toronto Raptors Roster

raptors

For no particularly good reason, I wanted to revisit the Toronto Raptors' inaugural season.  Alvin Robertson scored the first basket in franchise history and we went on to beat the New Jersey Nets 94-78 at SkyDome that magical opening night.  I remember tuning in and realizing I was going to witness the birth of a Toronto professional sports franchise, something I didn't get to do with the Leafs or Jays.

Here's that inaugural Raptors team that went 21–61 in 1995-96

3 Zan Tabak
4 Vicenzo Esposito
7 Alvin Robertson
9 Tony Massenburg
9 Sharone Wright
13 Doug Christie
20 Damon Stoudamire
22 John Salley

52 Victor Alexander
54 Ed Pinckney
