TorontoSun.com - Basketball - Raps’ Spanish imposition
The Raptors touched down in Spain yesterday after spending the previous 10 days in Italy as part of the Europe Live 2007 tour. And for Spanish natives Garbajosa and Calderon, it’s a trip of a lifetime.

“It’s special for us,” said Calderon, a native of Villanueva de la Serena. “The truth is, I’ve been waiting for this day to say, ‘This is my country and this is what I want to show you.’ I’m in (my teammates’) country all the time … San Francisco, Chicago … now is my turn. And that’s why I’m feeling great.”
