The Toronto Raptors are talented on the court, but they’re just as entertaining off of it.
Social media gives us the behind-the-scenes look into the lives of our favourite celebrities and athletes, something that Raptors players are completely on board with.

Here is a list of all the Raptors players that you should follow on Instagram:
1. Kyle Lowry
Kyle Lowry isn’t the most avid social media user, but, he’s got some unpredictable and hilarious moments on Instagram.
Just note there’ll be fewer bromance moments this year with DeMar DeRozan gone.
2. Serge Ibaka
Serge Ibaka is probably the team’s most suave personality; anything that has him flexing for the ‘gram.
You’ll probably catch him feeding his friends and teammates things like lamb brains and worms.
3. Pascal Siakam
How did Pascal Siakam manage to get Odell Beckham Jr. to wear his jersey?
4. Jonas Valanciunas
Jonas Valanciunas is one of the team’s funniest personalities. He’s also tied with Lowry for having the longest active tenure with the franchise.
Those shorts are next level.
5. Danny Green
Danny Green is the complete opposite of the guy he came to Toronto with.
He has his own podcast and loves his dogs.
6. OG Anunoby
OG Anunoby is a quiet guy, but his fashion and hair sense… the opposite.
7. Fred VanVleet
Fred VanVleet is all business, no nonsense. That’s how you become the WWE champion.
8. Delon Wright
Delon Wright made a small cameo in a Dom Kenney music video.
9. C.J. Miles
Looks like CJ Miles is this year’s victim to the Go Daddy curse. Patrick Patterson was on it first, and we saw how he played that year. Norman Powell was the rep last season, and that was a subpar season from him. Better hope Miles changes the pattern.
10. Norman Powell
This is Powell, who played the piano better than he played basketball last year.
Ouch.
11. Greg Monroe
Not sure why Greg Monroe’s nickname is “Moose.”
12. Chris Boucher
Fun fact: Montreal native Chris Boucher won a ring with the Golden State Warriors last year.
13. Malachi Richardson
Malachi Richardson was acquired by the Raptors when they traded the Brazilian Kevin Durant, Bruno Caboclo, to the Sacramento Kings last year. Malachi has a lot to live up to.
14. Lorenzo Brown
The 2018 G-League MVP, Lorenzo Brown has earned a spot with the Raptors this season.
15. Jordan Loyd
All we know about Jordan Loyd is that he now plays for the Raptors.
MISSING: Kawhi Leonard
Unfortunately, Kawhi Leonard doesn’t have Instagram, and he barely uses his Twitter. However, there are tons of fans posting unexpected moments of him laughing or smiling on the bench.
… and, he’s got that meme-worthy laugh that hasn’t stopped circulating Instagram, and probably won’t stop for a long time.
