The Toronto Raptors entered the NBA as its 28th franchise in 1993, the first franchise in Canada since the 1946-1947 Toronto Huskies. They started to play in 1995, and immediately experienced failure. Although the team was led by stars like Alvin Robertson and Damon Stoudamire, the Raptors failed to make the playoffs and win more than 30 games until 2000. By that time outstanding rookies like Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter were on the team, leading them to a 45-37 record and securing a spot in the playoffs. They got knocked out in the first round though. Meanwhile, guards Muggsy Bogues and Dell Curry were added, making their roster more balanced. They had their best year in 2001, with a 47-35 record and made it to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Just 2 years later, they would only win 24 games as injuries spread throughout the team. When Carter left in 2004, the team struggled profusely and only won 33 games for 2 straight seasons. But with rookie Chris Bosh's newfound role as the face of the franchise, the team took the top of their division in 2007, and tied their best record. Their next season would be succesful too, as they took 2nd in their division and ended up with a 41-41 record. This season would also be the last time that they were at or above .500. Their overall record 551-818 (.402). Their best season was their 2000-2001 season and their 2006-2007 season where they would get 47-35 (.573), and their worst season was their 1997-1998 season where they would slump to a 16-66 (.195) record. They haven't retired any jersey numbers yet.
