      @@jaybee9097 it isnt about selling out lmfao. Its about the overall culture of toronto being looked at as a sports city, a passion for the culture of sports; that results in basketball being as big as hockey in toronto. Ex, the winningness of the raptors since around 2014 with their constant playoff runs that's led to sold out games, increase in tv ratings, etc and brought the city together, which is what you've seen in how the city as a whole has reacted to toronto winning since 2014 including their playoff runs plus its impact last year with downtown being crazy as shit from may to june. If the leafs ever get to a point of consistency, they'll be like that as well. but basketball will as well simply because of the culture of toronto, period lmao. Tv ratings werent under 100k, if so when? Ofc they are earlier on, there a young franchise that was only brought into the league in the late 90s???? The leafs have been relevant for how long??????? lmao basketballs gonna be as big as hockey if not bigger, and even if the leafs begin to win, basketballs gonna be as big; causs of the culture of toronto.

    And he wasn't done, he improved sooo much since then. Defensive beast, added a 3pointer and is absolutely saving the raptors.
