Flash back to the '95-96 season, when the Toronto Raptors entered the NBA wearing their cartoon dinosaur jersey. (It's incredible that this was only 16 years ago, and someone thought these were okay. I mean, they were mocked at the time, but not enough. Not enough.) A former Raps employee recalls a ceremony held before a game against the Knicks: More »

A reader who was partying in Vegas this weekend — for the record, we have never partied in Vegas; we don't think our heart could take it — ended up spending the evening with a shirtless Charles Oakley. We are pretty certain we won't look that good shirtless when we're 73. A full set of photos from the night after the jump. More »

And by "jump," since we're talking about us, we mean "rising three inches off the floor." More »
