It’s Raptors Mania in Toronto these days, and the city – scratch that – the whole COUNTRY cannot get enough Raps. With the team splitting the first two games of the Finals against the a juggernaut Warriors squad, fans are starting to accept that an NBA Championship may POSSIBLY… COULD POTENTIALLY BE… within reach (knock on wood, Toronto).

Toronto is HYPE.

Murals are popping up all over the place, the mayor is getting involved, celebrities are showing up to games… it’s nuts.

Also, mixtapes are being produced. Artist Theology 3 released a Raptors Playoff Mixtape Volume 1 earlier in the post season, and ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals we got another.

This one hilariously guest starred former Raptors point guard Rafer Alston.

 

 

Almost the same sort’ve theme of “Started from the Bottom now we’re here”. This video is made by Rafer’s pleas to be put into the game.

Who knows, maybe Kyle Lowry will go down. Lace ‘em up, Rafer!
