Genesis of the Toronto Raptors: A Nostalgic Look at Their Journey from the Start
In the season 13 premiere, Open Gym presented by Bell begins a 30th anniversary series by looking back to when it all began for the Toronto Raptors – the genesis. Damon Stoudamire reminisces about being the first player drafted by the franchise, from playing in the Skydome, to being back in Toronto for a season opener 30 years later. Current players RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji learn about the history of the Raptors.

Yessir!!! I’m excited to turn back the clocks and go old school🦖💜
RJ grew up in toronto and didn't know it was called sky dome!? guess I'm officially old.
Skydome, day 1. I was there!
Great episide! Keep 'em coming! Was worried Bell wouldn't continue producing Open Gym episodes with Rogers buying out Bell's shares in Sept. So glad they are continuing! Thank you!
RJ needs to hand in his citizenship for not knowing it's SkyDome, still people call it that more often than Rogers Centre. How you grow up that close to the city and not know the history? I'm being hyperbolic about the citizenship, so chill
Rich history. Great episode 🔥
Might Mouse forever always my first Raptors love
Did we just get an OG episode that lasts longer than 5 min? Blessed.
