I actually broke down in tears last night!
My ex is a HUGE Raptors fan, and it was kind of a bitter sweet moment, as we would of been celebrating together.

Def a proud Canadian moment. The whole country was celebrating last night. I was watching video's this morning of all the streets filled with thousands of people.

Wow, good stuff

I remember when they were an expansion team! They weren't even in NBA JAM!! Yes I follow the NBA and yes it was almost ahem 25 years ago

Well done Raptors!

So glad to see other countries follow our sports!

I love it. American Sports I've liked since I was a kid, mainly NBA & Football and then later Baseball

Totally misunderstood by the masses with no patience. Once you're in, it doesn't let you go

I'm a huge Jay's fan. They haven't won since 1993. I remember the one win in 1992. I was pregnant with my son. Omg, the streets at 10:00 that night! It was crazy. Even the buses pulled over and people got out! I love the spirit that people show.

It's funny because one of my fondest memories is my brother running through all the MLB teams of the day (1992) and I was to guess 'who'd win' the championship that year.

I didn't have much of a clue about any of the teams, but I liked the sound of them. "Toronto Blujays" I said enthusiastically

He probably laughed and clipped me round the ear. So I had a painful ear but also newly-discovered prophetic abilities

Been a fan of the NFL ever since 1982, the year Channel 4 was launched. Probably seen over 30 Super Bowls live on TV.
Pat Summerall and John Madden were by far my favourite pair of commentators to listen to.
Ginats - 49ers NFC CG back in 1990 was my all-time favourite game.

Briefly followed MLB, NHL and NBA at various times, but never really got into it to become a proper dedicated fan.
That said, while I tend to ignore the regular season as I don't have a favourite team, come playoff time, I will make sure I watch the highlights vids on YT.

I'm now off to YT to find a clip of Undisputed with an almost certainly salty as f*ck Skip Bayless, along with a gloating Shannon Sharpe, who will
no doubt be winding Skip Clueless up like he were a clock, all because "Number 2" (Kawai Leonard) left his Spurs and won a title elsewhere.

And well done to the Raptors. Glad to see the Warriors lose for a change.

 

[goatwack]

I think most had the Bucks down as certs for the title, pre-Playoffs and during. So the Raptors turning around a 2-0 deficit in the Conference Finals was Championship-worthy in itself. That was your sign right there

 

[bebo67]

Today was the big celebration for the Raptors. Funny and not so funny

Funny one? Our premier Doug Ford getting booed. Much deserved...asswipe!

There were over one million people downtown. That picture I posted was just a partial view. It would be hard not to keep it clean. Most had been there since 5 this morning

No excuse - pocket your garbage
I grew up in Wasaga - for anyone else not knowing, it's the town home of the world's longest freshwater beach, so a tourist spot - believe me, I know the mess fucking slobs leave in their wake
