It's so crazy the difference having a huge crowd of fans cheering for you makes. If the raps were playing in Toronto this season things would've been so different
This run was euphoric, man. It was a perfect run, really, and prime Raps defence that was truly great to finish that season. Beautiful basketball. And Kawhi’s dunk vanquished damn near all the suffering, angst and pent up feelings of inferiority of Raps fans around the world. What an energy.
I’m 51years old, lived in Toronto my entire life, have watched every professional team in Toronto and this Raptors run was thee best moment in Toronto sports History that I have witnessed. Some will say that Joe Carter’s home run to win the World Series was the best in the last 50 years; and it was great! However, the Jays were expected win and the Raptors were the complete underDAWGGS the entered playoff run. Every American broadcaster (except Barkley) with a mouth said they couldn’t do it and they just kept shutting them up every night. I will never forget this as long as I live and watch the playoff run mini movie every few months or so, jus cuz. I’m watching this clip, in the midst of the 3rd wave of COVID, in Toronto and this just makes me literally happy and gives me goosebumps like I had when this was live. Raps just slapped the Lakers a few days ago and are about to play the a Clippers in about 30 mins…if the Raps find a way to make the playoffs I guarantee no one wants any part of them. Letttsssss Gooooo Rrrrrraptorrrrs!
One of the best organic championship teams in NBA history One of the most underdog wins by a team leading ofc eventually to a chip, in NBA history given the history imo
I had watched this incredible sequence in Japan with weak wifi system so at this moment stream had stopped many times I couldn't enjoyed enough because of stops .
As a bucks fan I can finally watch this series again. It’s funny because we basically did the exact same thing to the suns. Went down 2-0, and won 4 straight (3 that could’ve gone either way) same thing happened in this series. I finally have peace lol
As a lifelong raptors fan since inception . I don’t care if the fans say no jersey retirement of statue . This man is the goat for raps . The goals a ring . He got a ring in one shot . How’s that better than anything else . 10’years of service or a ring ?
was in jurrasic park for this game outside the stadium, during every stop and every bucket everyone would just get progressively louder and crazier until kawhi dunked on Giannis. In that moment when the crowd erupted it felt like the ground fell away from my feet, an experience I'll never forget!
I know we Raptors fans like to talk about how Kawhi didn't carry us like the U.S. media portray it but looking at this game, you can CLEARLY see we don't win shit without this guy. He helps the Raptors get out of those ass-clinching moments that can swing a game, and once things settle down, the rest of them feel at ease and go to work.
One of the most disrespected championship runs. And because people never really watched the other series prior to the Finals. People give the Bubble chip more credit than this. 19-20 Raps squad was deadly. They beat the team that everyone was betting on to slap the Warriors.

What a turning point in Toronto sports history.
I’m still not over this💔
Giannis is just not good in the playoffs
Kawhi could have created a legacy with the Raptors. This team was so damn good
The defence was truly beautiful
The crowd was so in to it I wanna cry man. Can’t wait til Toronto comes together like this again
This truly is a masterclass in how to close out a series…
This crowd is what the current Toronto raptors is missing… also a kawhi caliber player

Still just as amazing as watching it live

if i could go to any game of all time this one is up there for me
it isn't a raptors game without drake losing his shit on the sidelines
The defense in this game was absolutely amazing.
The overjoyed cyclone unexpectedly invite because authorisation posteriorly explain from a changeable worm. nebulous, ignorant syria
Two years later. Still jazzed about it. Bucks were healthy, and the most dominant team in the league that season.
Just saw this again…Nets vs Bucks game 5 last night. Same crap two years later.
I had watched this incredible sequence in Japan with weak wifi system so at this moment stream had stopped many times I couldn't enjoyed enough because of stops .
never gonna forget that kyle to kawhi dunk
Suns should have taken notes 😂
"VanVleet……………….with the rainbow 3" lol loved that
As a bucks fan I can finally watch this series again. It’s funny because we basically did the exact same thing to the suns. Went down 2-0, and won 4 straight (3 that could’ve gone either way) same thing happened in this series. I finally have peace lol

man i miss this raptors team

The best year for me as a Kawhi fan got his revenge for sure. Soon to rewrite 2020 though I believe.
Drake over there standing up the entire 3rd quarter
I will watch this legendary run as many times as I physically and mentally can. Every year. Hands down the greatest run in Raptors history
DAMN
Fred van vleet became a man that day
Could of gone back-to-back if Kawhi stayed. The Lakers didn't stand a chance with us.
I know we Raptors fans like to talk about how Kawhi didn't carry us like the U.S. media portray it but looking at this game, you can CLEARLY see we don't win shit without this guy.

I miss this so much.

Lol that dunk by Kawhi and little shove by Lowry… perfection.
Kawhi should have resigned with Toronto for one more season. They would have two-peated. Biggest mistake of his life.
