Jose Calderon Raptors Jersey
Jose Calderon was born on September 28th, 1981, in Villanueva de la Serenea, Badajoz. Calderon first entered the NBA when he slipped on his #8 Raptors jersey after being persuaded by former Raptors GM, Rob Babcock to sign with the Toronto Raptors. Thus began his NBA career, spanning from August 3rd, 2005 to present. Until this time, Calderon played strictly in Spain. Jose Calderon struggled during his rookie season with the Toronto Raptors, mostly with his shooting. This 6ft 3in player, at 210lbs, started in 11 out of 64 played games during his first year wearing the Raptors jersey #8.
Compared to his rookie season, Calderon received less playing time throughout the 2006-07 season, despite having improved his averages. He spent much of the season as a backup to T.J. Ford. Jose Calderon played his first ever NBA playoff season in the 2007 NBA Playoffs, averaging 13 points and 5.3 assists per game. With the Toronto Raptors he went on in the 2007-08 season leading the league in assist-to-turnover ratio with 5.38 to 1. At one point in the season this ratio had climbed to 6.15 to 1, opening up a grand opportunity to break an NBA record. He became the 6th NBA player to shoot and make 50% of his field goals, 40% of his 3 pointers and 90% of his free-throws. By the end of the regular season he was 5th overall in the league for assists per game. Due to an injury Ford incurred, Jose Calderon gained some valuable playing time and his struggles melted away.
In January of 2008, Calderon decided to keep his Raptors jersey and sign with Toronto to a multiple year deal. Meanwhile Ford made way to the Indiana Pacers, giving Calderon a shot at starting point guard. Unfortunately for Jose Calderon, this was short-lived. After only 17 games into the 2008-09 season, the Toronto Raptors head coach was fired and the lineups were changed frequently. Calderon eventually went on to set the 2nd longest streak in NBA history for consecutive free throws made at 87. In addition he broke the franchise record for career assists with 1,795 on March 13th, 2009. Despite his early struggles, Toronto can expect to see a lot of great things coming from Raptors jersey #8!
