The video features highlights of the athlete’s career including snippets of his draft day interview. Fans of the team remember that Stoudamire’s nickname was “Might Mouse” because of his small stature but his ability to dominate the court.
In the post, OVO reminded fans that he was the GOAT of his day, “Toronto Raptors first pick
from the 1995 NBA draft,” they wrote to make sure today’s youth knew what was going on!

The response was positive regarding the apparel collaboration, but fans and Torontonians wasted no time calling out the city of Toronto for their experiment with the city’s jersey for the current team.
“This should be the Raptors City Jersey. Missed the opportunity,” insisted a follower.
“Smart OVO…planning the lineup everyone is asking for: OG/Retro City Jersey…but (probably) charging 3x the price of a regular city jersey,” said another.
“Why isn’t that a city jersey yet,” asked another follower.
These fans can’t wait to voice their thoughts. “Someone tell the clowns who designed Jersey City this year here,” wrote a fan of the new design.
However, they are clearly excited about the collaboration and are counting down the days until they can spend their hard-earned money on this intense collaboration.

The OVO team knows how to market their stuff, they chose to enlist the help of a self-proclaimed super fan and local celebrity to promote the gear. Local car dealer Nav Bhatia, now known for his love of the team, wore his own championship ring with a new jacket and jersey.
Fans love it. “Nav superfan, the whole model,” they wrote praising it.
