TORONTO - This is Samuel L. Jackson's problem: Who to cheer for if the Raptors play his New York Knicks? Jackson has adopted the Raptors while shooting his Caveman's Valentine here.

The New Yorker has always liked the Raptors, because the team okayed him using a Raptors bag in the film Jackie Brown.

Jackson is also a big Vince Carter fan, proud to say he witnessed Carter's 51-point night. Which some say put Carter in Michael Jordan territory. "Not yet," says Jackson who was shooting a scene at Casa Loma recently. He didn't add "but soon." But he didn't have to.
