Nick Nurse on the Toronto Raptors building bridges with their alumni: “It shows a lot of maturity. The organization’s maturing just as the years go by, and you have these occasions of success to celebrate […] I think it’s great.” “I can tell you just yesterday, I’m sitting in our practice facility, looking at the names up there: Moses [Malone], and Dr. J [Julius Erving]. To me, it’s such a historic thing to be a part of. Now the Raptors get to start telling their little bit of historic stories, too.” “As far as long as I’ve been around, they’ve [Raptors] always done everything first-class and the right way. Now it’s nice to see them be able to celebrate some of the greatness that they’ve had.” [ via. @OffTheRosterPod ]
