Toronto Raptors Basketball Club Inc.
 PROFILE
The Toronto Raptors Basketball Club is looking to new coach Lenny Wilkens, the NBA's all-time winningest (and the team's fourth in its five-year history), for guidance. The team, which has been a revolving door for owners, coaches, and players, posted four straight losing seasons since its introduction to the NBA in 1995. The team made its first playoff appearance during the 1999-2000 season behind the talents of rookie All-Star Vince Carter. The next season the Raptors signed point guard Mark Jackson to complement Carter. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (controlled by Steve Stavro), which also owns the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team, bought the Raptors and its $144 million Air Canada Centre in 1998.
