- From Saint Lucia to Montreal, then junior college to Division I, then the #NBAGLeague to the NBA... how Chris Boucher escaped hardship & a basketball prospect rose seemingly out of nowhere.
The former Oregon standout landed a two-way contract with the Warriors, shined for Santa Cruz and eventually made his NBA debut with Golden State.

Just signed his multi year with the raptors. Not even a raps fan but this is an awesome story and he’s a great player
Well you should be a raps fan
He is a nba champion also
Fingers crossed my raptors keep him & develop him !
And look at em' now!
@@DaMelloKittyy This aged really well
He ain't going no where trust that
@@raptorsrepeat7196 ok?
@@northgaming2102😂😂😂😂 Sorry
Imagine tanking to get talent. The raptors have 3 undrafted studs in Freddy, Terrence Davis, and CB. Not to mention the guys we got outside the lottery. Didn’t have to tank the last 7 years.
matt thomas
Knicks should take notes
don't forget Matt Thomas.
Congrats on your first ring Champ!!!! 🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
I have become a Raptor fan because of stories like this
He was born in the same island as me Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 great job...keep strong and continue the great job
he is on fire this season
wow and his story doesn't even end here.. it's still ongoing.. within the next 2 years he was waived then became MVP+DPOY in the G-League, got signed by the Raptors, got highlights, won an NBA championship then got a 2-year 13.5M contract getting that chance when Ibaka and Gasol left/traded.. wow! inspiring..
Man dropped 22 points and 7 blocks in just his second came
Go Chris.... keep going
And then he became an NBA champion and the first one from Quebec, Canada! You are an inspiration Chris!
Bro been watching Boucher over the last 10 games he’s been throwing up double doubles with BLOCKS and 3s the man has a high ceiling 💪 my man Boucher keep it up
Anyone here after slimmduck been tearing it up this season. #WetheNorth
man montreal nord looks so hood in this documentary lmaooo
It is hood
lol
More murders per square mile than Compton
I mean certain blocks in Montreal nord ARE hood, nobody can deny that. Murders prostitutions drug all that shit happens in some corners up north.
But the news certainly wont shed the light on it since it calmed down but trust me i know these spots and thats the definition of the hood, got all the criteria down there
At the beginning of the season I prayed to the basketball gods...
Please give Chris more playing time...and they listened!
Take a look at him now! Thanks and praises to the most high!
and look at him now...nba champion with his canadian Toronto Raptors. Couldnt have been a better story. He played amazing in ibakas absence, shame he will get less minutes now. But alas, he showed us that we have major depth and can make a super run to the finals.
Whose watching in 2019?
Gave up Boucher in 2018, skipped Nunn in 2019, and tanking for 2020. Good job Warriors!!!
Motivation mi bro still whatching this in 2022❤️🙏🏾🏀I Luv basketball!
It’s literally 2021 not 2022
God bless him on his journey
This guy is tearing it up this year for the raptors
We are proud of you Boucher!!
Let's go Boucher! Keep grinding, brother! The story doesn't end here.
Bounjouuur!!!
I’m from Montreal too! I would be extremely dedicated to making it to the nba but I feel like here in Montreal it is hard to get yourself well known being that there are no big high schools and not to many good basketball leagues. It does suck because I believe that I could most definitely make it to the nba if only I had a “chance”
Love this story, and love Chris as a player. Glad my Raps have him!
Freakin 6 '-8" his frame reminds me of Manut Bol .... He's shooting three's , blocking shots , scoring prolificly and he's still young . A star is born.
Why does 2:51 look like James Harden without a beard? haha
Who is here after he signed a two-year, $13.5M deal to stay with the Toronto Raptors
And boyy has he been shinning ever since he a Raptor! #mtlrepp
Just the fact that he is from st lucia says a lot bout his tuffness hope raptors give him a contract
He was a top 5 draft pick before the injury..hard luck
amazing person amazon player amazing potential
Skies the limit for u !!
who is now signed to the RAPTORS
Great
I MET HIM AT CACTUS CLUB LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
undrafted and left for dead to playing on 1 championship team... then signed onto another championship team. the best teams saw the potential
Now a NBA champion 🇨🇦🏆
13.5 million later he is leading the raptors 2nd unit with a ring... tough as nails
You left us (Dub Nation) but at least your finally getting minutes in Toronto
3 and D the 3 . That's 40% of the game. Raptors got a very valuable asset. 5 years from no ball and an acl tear in the middle. Poverty can be a great spur to one's focus if one sees the light of the path out of it. Basketball was that light out for CB . For others less physically gifted its a dead end.
The Raptors should sign him!
They did fortunately.
He's finally been given the opportunity now that JV is out for a month or so!
He's doing it, Serge jr...just somebody pick him up a couple cheeseburgers
I love underdogs. Raps better run him his money
AIR BOUCHER took off from Montreal and landed in TORONTO!
two time champ
I hope he can put on some weight and muscle and come join the Warriors at the NBA level. Have a great summer Chris.
Why did the warriors waive him? Hope he has the best time playing with the raptors and good luck Chris.
Him for Marvin bagley we need him him with fox holmes hield and tyrese ethier way he’s going places
If there was ever a longer and more in depth Chris Boucher documentary, what would you want in it that you haven't seen before?
CRIS TOP 40 DRAFT
♥️🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
what is with this oregon ducks center being lanky and making 3s Boucher and Bol Bol please continue to grow
#ScoDucks🐥
hometown kid
DRAFT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂DINASTY CENTER FUTURE
got another nice fatty contract. happy for this guy. this guy also posts insane fantasy numbers when the raptors give him 30 plus minutes
released in X's death day
I respect Chris grind, ge just needs to bulk up 20 pounds this kid could go far.
Chris Bosh'eh?
Wizards need to look at this kid
How mad are warrior fans? Howd yall let this guy go... I'm thankful as a Raptors fan butngamn son yall just keeping taking Ls to us 🤷🏽♂️
🇱🇨🇱🇨
Jesus Christ and El Shaddai did it this late to start a basketball career its definitely God's hands.
OH GOD! PLEASE GET RID OF THE EAR RINGS. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
Boy lucians love to do obeah/roots on the people when they see success on the horizon!
Kevin Dantes where is that coming from?
Jeanvorn Willie they didn't want him to make it to the nba so they root him to get injured... it seems his mother praying. I just know lucians
Kevin Dantes are you St Lucian?
Jeanvorn Willie as lucian as they come. I know the wickedness in them. And the depth of their hate for their own people who dare to be great or succeed.
Kevin Dantes sigh, I respect your opinion bro but as a St Lucian myself it bothers me that that would be the first thought running through your head. A torn ACL is common amongst basketball players. And although there will always have bad apples amongst us I strongly believe St Lucia as a whole cherishes the accomplishments of their athletes (Darren Sammy, Laverne Spencer).
OMG! I lived on the same street as Him. We go to the same school In Montreal. I did not even know he has playing in the NBA... Hard to believe he is the same kid i used to play with in montreal.
Rahad Abdul really
Na, he's lying for attention
Ain't no Muslims in Montreal lol
@@GTSO0 YES! Same school. We Use to play wwe at his home or soccer in our school. He started to played basket ball around 15-16.

Chris Boucher, playing with O.G., Siakam,Wright, Vanvleet, would be Unstoppable! The 2018-19 T.Raptors has a very deep line-up of good basketball players! We will win the NBA Championship this time, with Kawhi Leonard & Danny Green!
Imagine this: I predicted the T.Raptors to be Champion in 2018-19!!! I finally made it Right!
@@hansj.severino7119 thats made not gonna lie
Good shit my man and your first prediction about him playing with OG, siakam, and Vanvleet will be true too very soon.
Well congrats champ
Rooting soooooo hard for him!! Keep pushing!!! 🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
Congratulations to Chris.keep strong bro🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨

Great story! Much success & great health in your career Chris.
Wonderful story I pray you continue this absolutely great journey with God's Grace
OMG! I lived on the same street as Him. We go to the same school In Montreal. I did not even know he has playing in the NBA... Hard to believe he is the same kid i used to play with in montreal.
Get those RINGS Chris!
He is so underrated

And he has a championship ring as a rookie
Maybe another this year too :)

Crazy that Chris Boucher is actually from st Lucia, he looks african
damn beezy Many Saint Lucians look "African" whatever that is.
🙄
He got waived😭
Ryan DLR actually he's on gsw roster
pussy money And drugs for me he in the raptors
WARRIOS DRAFT CRIS BELL CENTER 2019/20/21/22/23/24/25/26/27 😁😁😁😁😁😁😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Acting like he was born in Compton lol
Where u born ? Ice cube said it every hood the same or has similarities Compton would be considered paradise compare to 3rd world countries without electricity or water
There is poverty and violence in places outside of Compton. Just because they're not in L.A. and next to Hollywood getting stories written and movies made about them doesn't mean those places aren't rough. In fact, because they're hidden from popular view, they could be rougher.
🙄
Ty Lito you acting like Compton is the only hood on earth
