The Raptors franchise began in 1993. A public contest produced the winning team name – The Raptors, a tribute to the popular Jurassic Park movies. As an expansion team, the Raptors struggled in their early years, but they enjoyed great draft picks. Raptors draft picks have produced some of the stars of the game including Vince Carter, and Damon Stoudamire. Trades of those players have brought in a broader, more diverse array of players, and have made the Raptors a solid NBA contender.
