@FAN590 @gregbradyTO On my way to work at 6:45 there is a massive queue for new Raptors OVO Championship clothing being dropped this morning. Beginning to think the Raptors NBA Championship could be a bigger cultural significance than if the Leafs were ever to win Stanley Cup. pic.twitter.com/aRSOEK11SF
