Street Style: The most over-the-top fans at Jurassic Park
For anyone who can’t afford $60,000 tickets to watch the last few NBA finals games courtside with Drake and Obama, there’s been plenty of action outside Scotiabank Arena, too. We scoped out Jurassic Park to find the best-dressed fans:
Kris Coutain, a 21-year-old student
“The NBA finals are bigger than Toronto—the entire country is excited. To see the Raptors doing so well is giving Canadian basketball a new reputation.”
Robert Humphrey, a 38-year-old business developer, and Allie, his four-year-old daughter
“I’ve been a Raptors fan from the very beginning. It’s a whole new generation for basketball, and I want my daughter to be a part of it in the same way that I was.”
Jasmyn Asuro, a 17-year-old student
“Regardless of whether we win or lose, everyone still had a great time.”
Van Huynh, a 31-year-old sales associate
“This is a surreal moment for the city. I only started following the Raptors five years ago, but now I’d say I’m a diehard fan. The people who have been out here since ’95 are the true MVPs, though.”
Velda Foster, a 54-year-old business systems management worker
“Being a fan is like being the sixth man on every play. We’re right here for every moment: the highs, the lows, all of it.”
Justin Harrison, a 37-year-old personal trainer
“The tattoo of the Raptor claw on my right arm was the first one I ever got. There is nothing better than this—we are the best fans in the world, hands down.”
11-year-old Romeo Serdan, Jaysie Guerra, a 35-year-old education assistant and Shaun Brown, a 30-year-old tech worker
Romeo: “We’re going to sweep the Warriors. Go Raptors go!”
Senai Tesfay, a 32-year-old small business owner and 10-year old Adenn Tekle
“I’ve been here since ’95. I even entered the contest to name the team back when they were taking submissions. The fact that the NBA finals are happening in Toronto this year means everything to me.”
Ryan Baker, a 39-year-old Canada Post worker
“I’ve been a fan since I was 15. I remember going to the SkyDome and watching them play. To be here now feels crazy. It’s completely brought the city together.”
Spencer Yuska, a 24-year-old financial analyst
“Seeing the Raptors make it to the NBA finals makes me proud to be a Torontonian. The Raptors have put Canadian basketball on the map. Now, they just need to bring home the trophy.”
