If you’ve watched the Raptors in any capacity, then you’re probably familiar with Nav Bhatia, the Raptors superfan always holding it down in his courtside seat right next to the rim.
Bhatia was recently the target of a racist tweet by a Bucks fan, to which he issued an incredibly classy response; other Bucks fans also offered their support for Nav.
On a more positive note, a Twitter thread from international correspondent Muhammad Lila went viral, after going in-depth on Nav’s story and love for the Raptors. If there was anything about Nav that you’ve wanted to know, this thread has you covered.
It’s easy to say, but it’s a genuinely exceptional aspect of the Raptors fandom that its most diehard and adored fan is a foreign-born Sikh immigrant — in how many other cities could you say that?
The Raptors boast a multicultural following, all riding for the same team. And, with the Finals coming soon, the city is getting wild.
