## Resource

The Athletics anonymous player poll reveals Toronto Raptors arent on the list of teams players avoid, debunking the old narrative. The poll surveyed 120 players, and while teams like Memphis Grizzlies, Washington Wizards, and Sacramento Kings got votes, Toronto didnt. This shift in perception could be due to the citys vibe, music scene, or Drakes global ambassador role. Raptors fans are also seen as passionate, not obnoxious. The poll paints a new picture of Toronto in the NBA, with the Raptors gaining respect from players. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
