The 1999–2000 season was Toronto's fifth season in the team's franchise.^[1] During the offseason, the Raptors acquired Antonio Davis from the Indiana Pacers while signing free agents Muggsy Bogues and Dell Curry. In their first full season playing at the Air Canada Centre the Raptors got better as the season progressed. Vince Carter led the team in scoring, averaging 25.7 points per game. He also won the Slam Dunk Contest in Oakland and was selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game. The Raptors improved and qualified for their first playoff appearance with a 45–37 record, finishing third in the Central Division. In the postseason, they were swept in the first round by the New York Knicks in three straight games. Following the season, Tracy McGrady was traded to the Orlando Magic, Doug Christie was dealt to the Sacramento Kings, and Butch Carter was fired as head coach.

The team's season roster is featured in the video game NBA 2K16.^[2]

The season saw the Raptors change their uniforms which lasted until 2006.

Vince Carter

Vince Carter was selected to an All-Star Team for the first time, and showcased his athleticism and dunking abilities in the 2000 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. He won the contest by performing an array of dunks including a 360° windmill, a between the legs, and an "elbow dunk."^[4] Though he has not competed in the dunk contest since, Carter has been voted into the Eastern Conference NBA All-Star Team starting lineup several times through fan balloting.^[5]
