The Emotional Return: Fred VanVleet’s Homecoming to Toronto

You are the love of my life. Always the love of my life. The good, the bad, the ugly too. I take it all because the truth is, you are the love of my life. No, we’re not trying to get our ex back with Céline Dion lyrics but rather to describe Fred VanVleet’s return to Canada. The leader will return to Toronto for the first time since his departure, enough to make Scotiabank very emotional.

In 7 seasons, Fred VanVleet has experienced everything with the Raptors. He started by finding a place in Summer League in the summer of 2016 to obtain his spot roster. Undrafted, he developed and from his second season, he got good playing time. He managed to establish himself in this team and found himself in 3rd place in the ranking of 6th man of the year in 2018 He returned the favor very well to the franchise that gave him a chance, and will demonstrate it again in 2019.

The Dinos won the title in 2019, led by Kawhi Leonard obviously, but the official Drake look-alike played a decisive role in the Finals. Having just become a father, he is going to be very good as Stephen Curry’s guard dog. He will also score 22 points in Game 6 and finish 2nd in the Finals MVP votes. Subsequently, he became a starter and was named All-Star in 2021-22. In the summer of 2023, he signed a big contract with the Rockets to join Texas and this marked the end of his adventure in Canada. 15 points, 5.6 assists on average and a title won for Fredo who should therefore make his return to Toronto tonight.

Love him or hate him, you cannot deny the major contributions Fred VanVleet did for the Toronto Raptors franchise.

A return which will unfortunately take place on the bench for an injured FVV. Like Marcus Smart – with an extra title – there should be a tribute video. He also took the lead by posting a video on Instagram where he thanks everyone in Toronto.

The reception should be very warm for the person who wore this jersey, grew up in this franchise and became a respected player. Meet at 1:30 a.m. to enjoy it and fill up on nostalgia. Certainly, the last season and the free start in Houston may have left some resentment. But as Céline says: “the good, the bad, the ugly too” so we’re going to let the fans enjoy it. I loved you, I love you and I will love you to conclude with French song.
