The NBA has a new champion since Thursday night; the Toronto Raptors.?We do not talk about sport here at Fratello. We have our occasional articles from various car racing events or golf, for example.Perhaps a sportsman gets onto a list when we talk about famous watch wearers. Pretty much that's about it. However, we love sports, and I, for one, am a huge basketball fan. As such, I was following this year's NBA finals with great enthusiasm to see if the NBA finals-rookie and underdog Toronto Raptors (a city I will be visiting in August) would be able to defeat the All-Star-studded Golden State Warriors or get schooled by the last two years' NBA champion. Well, the Raptors did it. A franchise that is only 24 years old beat the favoured Warriors, a team that is one of the oldest in the league (1946) and has 5 NBA and 1 BAA titles.Where are the watches?But what does it have to do with watches, right? I have to say after my Rimowa article I got all kinds of responses. Some said a watch blog (mind you we are a Magazine) should not talk about anything else but watches. We hear you, but every once in a while, an off topic that is connected to the industry, the watch collecting hobby or just interesting to us can and should be talked about. As I explained above, I was following the Finals and saw that some of the guys from the Raptors wore exciting pieces. Admittedly, these guys are multimillionaires who could buy whatever they wanted. The selection I have seen is a bit more mixed, more interesting than you'd imagine. So I gathered a list of the Toronto Raptors players and beyond who occasionally wear beautiful timepieces.

Apart from being an incredible player, he seems to be a watch guy too.To start with he owns a beautiful rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus on a bracelet. He wore it at the 2018 New York Fashion Week. He also holds a more understated brand that men at his size (he is 6'10 or 2.08m) often wear, a Panerai. But one piece he loves to wear the most is his Cartier Santos XL. In 2018 he visited McLaren during the weekend of the Canadian Grand Prix. He was invited to sit into one of the cars (as per his Instagram video). The Cartier Santos XL on a leather strap is visible on his wrist. He wore the same watch early that year at a Cerutti show in Paris.Serge Ibaka sporting a yellow gold Patek Philippe Nautilus photo credit: upscalehype.comPanerai with a beautiful brown strap to match the sleeve of his varsity jacket photo credit: Bay Street BullView this post on InstagramA post shared by Serge Ibaka (@sergeibaka) on Jun 9, 2018 at 3:56pm PDT
