    "I've been waiting a long time for this moment, it's going to feel great," Graham said yesterday. "I'm ready, I'm excited about it."Nah, I'm not going to be nervous. It's like riding a bike, once you do it, you just go out there and have fun.

    "But this will be much more than fun for Graham and the Raptors, finally. After beating up on each other for a week of practices and scrimmages, they will get a chance to see how they shape up against legitimate NBA opposition, even if it is in the first of eight pre-season contests.For Graham, who has been battling Jalen Rose and Morris Peterson for most of the last week, it will be a test he's sure he can pass.</font></font></font></div>Source
