During their 30 years of being an NBA franchise, the Toronto Raptors have often been fighting an uphill battle to earn recognition from players around the league.As the only current Canadian team in the league, Toronto has often struggled to attract top free agents, while fighting for media relevancy south of the border.In recent weeks, ex-Raptors Thad Young, Rudy Gay, and Lou Williams had all made remarks about some of the downsides about playing in Canada, with one uniting factor being an added trip to the customs line at the airport each time the team returned to Toronto.But for Serbian-born Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic, he wasn't buying into any of the perceived downsides of having an NBA career in Canada."Toronto is one of the best cities in the world. Toronto Raptors have the best fans in NBA.

One Toronto Blue Jays fan vacationing in Florida got a bit more than they bargained for on a recent trip to watch the team.While the Blue Jays have their home base in Dunedin, Florida, during the spring months, it's not uncommon for fans to travel across the state to see them take on other opponents.And when Robert Guertin decided to take in a Blue Jays game with his wife Linda at the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches against the Houston Astros last Friday, he suddenly found himself on the field to sing "O Canada."With the couple travelling with a large group of friends to go check out their favourite baseball team, it turned out that the home side didn't exactly have anyone lined up for the Canadian anthem.Given that Toronto is the lone MLB club based in Canada, most part-time anthem singers could go a whole season of games without ever having to sing two songs back-to-back before the first pitch.So an Astros ticket representative offered Guertin's group the shot to perform the Canadi...
