Notably, the Blazers’ launch about Chauncey Billups entering into the Corridor of Fame features a uncommon public assertion from Jody Allen:
“As a five-time All-Star and 2004 MVP, Chauncey is properly deserving of this excellent recognition. We’re all happy with Chauncey’s many… – 12:19 PM

Billups goes to problem the foul on Walker. Some contact, not a lot, and Jabari was moderately vertical. Now we wait, sport tied at 81s. – 9:04 PM

Vince Carter had a huge effect on Canadian basketball, which is one motive his HOF honour is deserved. However the notion he ‘saved’ the Raptors is oversold. The Leafs purchased the Raptors in Feb. ’98 they usually moved into ACC collectively the next 12 months (Vince’s rookie season). /1 – 3:35 PM

Vince Carter is probably the most polarizing determine in Raptors historical past, possibly in Toronto sports activities historical past. Love him, hate him, or perhaps a little bit of each, there’s no denying his impression on the game on this nation. If there was any doubt about his HOF case, his outstanding longevity settled it. – 12:25 PM

Billups was traded simply earlier than the Raptors obtained Carter for Jamison on draft day. So the brand new Corridor of Famers have been near being teammates, however not fairly. In any other case may have had three HOFers on close to enlargement Raptors (T-Mac, Vince, Billups). – 12:00 PM
