Now that the Raptors are climbing the NBA charts there will be a lot of bandwagon jumpers. The more fans the better but I have to say it is hard to accept you as a member of the club if you have not felt the pain we dino fans have gone through. So I present you with a quiz. Be honest and let me know how you did. No cheating now, you don’t want to be put into the Vince Carter category.

1. How did Toronto pick their nickname for the team?

2. Do you know who Milt Palacio is?

3. Where did the Raps play before the ACC? (Two places)

4. What was the first name of their Coach Carter?

5. What former NBA All-Star was the Raptors first GM?

6. In the 1996 who was the #1 pick in the NBA draft? The pick that should of been Toronto’s. We got the Camby man.

7. Did we have Chauncey Billips on the team at any point?

8. Who drafted Vince Carter?

9. Where were you when you heard the Raps drafted Hoffa? Trust me a true fan will never forget.

10. When you heard the word Babcock during your day, did you have the urge to be sick?

That is just a short list but if you do not know at least seven of those, you don’t get to be a true Raptors fan. Sit up front with the rest of the bandwagoners (Leaf fans) and call me when you learn about the misery and pain of a missed Vince Carter jumper on May 20th, 2001.

Finally a bonus visual question. Who is this dude?
