I guess my point is, it's not even about me being bitter towards Vince. I just think that when you take into consideration the actual amount of time/portion of his career he spent here, the amount of team and individual success he had while he was here and the way he chose to leave, he's not deserving of the highest individual honour a North American professional sports franchise can bestow on a player.
Now, in any telling of the history of the Raptors franchise and of the history of basketball in Canada, you have to fully acknowledge the growth of the Raptors fan base and of basketball in Canada that was kicked off by his time in Toronto. But I don't think that means Raptors fans are obligated to feel warm & fuzzy about the guy, or that the franchise needs to retire his number.
At the very least, if they do go ahead and do it (and unfortunately, they probably will), he should be made to wait in line behind the guy who's spent all of his best years here, built his basketball legacy here, plays with all the toughness and drive Vince never had, and who played a huge part in bringing a championship here. As opposed to Vince, who only ever won one single playoff series while he was here, and never even sniffed any real playoff success anywhere else throughout his 22-year career, either as a star player or a role player.
