Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic is establishing a strong culture of accountability and transparency with the team.
Rajakovic shared his perspective on the team's future, emphasizing that there is no "final goal" but a continuous pursuit of greatness.
"We want to position this organization to be a contender to win championships for a stretch of 10 years," he explained to the Toronto Sun. "When we win the championship, and we will one day, that’s not the end goal, the goal is to go do it again."
He also emphasized the importance of self-analysis and the desire to continuously improve as a coach.
"For me, I want to take one step back to be able to soak in all the experiences to analyze what I did well, but also to see what my weak spots are, where I need to continue to grow as a coach," he said. "I’m not shying away from that.
"I’ve been coaching for 29 years now, and I’ve got zero ego. I just want to be the best version of myself, to be the best version for my team and my players," he added.
The Raptors finished the 2024-25 season with a 30-52 record.
