Raptors are one of the more deserving teams to win a title in recent memory. A team built right through the draft and trades, no lottery picks whatsoever. Incredible run.
What? Look man I'm not trying argue cause it's been 5 months. But for real, Warriors drafted Curry, Green, and Thompson. Meanwhile, Raptors TRADED Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka but you're saying they built their team?
This Finals is one of the most underrated of all time, between the storylines, the injuries, the history, and the Raptors finally getting over the hill and ending the dynasty of the NBA at the time. I'm a Knicks fan and this finals is easily one of my favorites if not my favorite.
Boogie after game 2: Cant wait to go back. We have the greatest fans GSW fans leave the arena mid 4th quarter Raptors fans have a whole visitors section and are louder than the home fans

@@D95-d7y their recent opponent (cavs) were basically lebron and a bunch of bums. they were either injured or no where near as good as the warriors. this was their biggest test in years.
The fact that he didnt play for a full year and came to do it all, people need to remember he could never do it on his own. But man did it ever feel sweet to have him here. Will never forget this moment
Kawhi gets the credit and deservedly so but look at the stats for game 6... 4 players with 20+ points, everybody wanted it. And 5 players averaged 10+ this series that's crazy and vanvleet was clearly the best bench player on the floor. Say what you want but this was a collective effort and his teammates made kawhi better
Sono Luminescence they’ve been one of the best teams in the eastern conference for a long time, they just couldn’t beat lebron similar to how the rockets can’t get past the warriors. But in all honesty, they probably wouldn’t have, Kawhi made this team mentally strong but they held their part by showing up and having big games, they’re not bums
@@DF-is5xe Well said. How many NBA teams have superstars? Do they win championships? No. Raptors are a deep, mentally tough team with tons of playoff experience these last five years. No bums on a team that wins the NBA Championship.
Celtics fan here, raptors really surprised me I expected them to win but not dominate the warriors even if Kevin Durant was injured for most of the 6 game series
@@wavyiann9788 It depends on kds role, I believe raps would have either forced kd to do iso midrange, which would make it easier for raps to play off ball defense, or raps would have ran the triangle and 2, which they did against them the same season with curry, klay, and kd there and they won by 20, prior to kd dropping 30, I wouldn't be surprised at all if raps beat warriors fully healthy, if rockets figured them out in 2018, and spurs with kawhi in 2017 figured them out, I am sure raps would do so too.
Is this true? Because even though the Warriors lost this series. It's a scary thing to imagine that they won two games by only winning 3 quarters. That's just shows how dangerous the Warriors are if you give one quarter to them.
LeJordan but they got beat by one guy and you only got does two rings because of Durante and how are they dangerous they had 4 stars on the court but can’t manage to beat a line up with two stars and a rising star
Patrick_E !!! Dafuq did I just read? lol. We got to give credit to the whole Raptors team. It's lead by Kawhi, but his teammates contributed a lot for their team. They all showed their depth, talent, and dedication to win this series. Warriors didn't beat the Raptors but it doesn't take away the fact that they are dangerous even without Durant.
Everybody in the world when the Raptors were down 2-0: "The Bucks will destroy the Warriors, Kawhi sucks" Everybody after they win: "OMG Kawhi is so amazing and we LOVE the raptors"
For those obsessing about GSW injuries: - Klay was available for about 90 percent of the series. - KD missed all of it except for one quarter or so, but that just means GSW has to play with 7 superstars instead of 8. Without KD they are still supposed to win. - Raps also had Kawhi playing on one leg and Lowry with a broken thumb plus no OG Anunoby. Raps get full credit for title. Period.
manguy2000 you don’t follow basketball. 1. Klay missed the second half of game 2 and the whole of game 3 and the 4th quarter of game 6, that’s way more than 90%. 2. KD missed the whole series except for one quarter and he’s is the greatest Basketball player in the world prior to his Achilles year. If he played the rest of series GSW would have won. 3. GSW has 3 all stars with Steph, Klay and KD. Draymond and Cousins are not all stars anymore and not at all what they used to be. 4. The refs helped the Raptors in 2nd round, the ECF and in the Finals. Raptors get no credit in books for having help the whole way through.
Judah Dakid 2015 has a asterisk next to it as well. The difference was Raptors had help from refs in rounds 2 and 3. And losing Klay (who was their 2nd option after KD went down) in the 3rd quarter of game 6 took away all their momentum. Your the one who doesn’t follow basketball. Raptors shouldn’t have been in the finals, should have been Philly or Milwaukee, but the refs allowed Kawhi to travel on his game deciding shot AND in games 3 and 5 of the ECF the officiating was horrible. In the ECF Milwaukee had a negative record with the refs in game 5 while Toronto’s record was 22-1 with refs in game 5. Toronto shot 31 FTs to Milwaukee’s 18 despite Milwaukee averaging more FTs per game throughout the season and shooting 12 more shots in the paint.
Judah Dakid your the casual thinking Demarcus Cousins is the best big man in the league. Milwaukee lost game in 2OT after Giannis fouled out on extremely questionable blocking foul that almost everyone was saying was a charge. In game 5 Raptors had 22-1 record with the refs. And 31fts despite being -12 in shots attempted in the paint. Your the casual to think that adds up. And Kawhi traveled on his game winner in game 7 vs Philly. Andre Igoudala got injured in game 1 and was never 100% and is aging. And Draymond is not a second option offensively and if you think that your crazy. Warriors played Andrew fucking Bogut in the NBA finals despite him not even being in the league a few months ago. Toronto probably shouldn’t have got out the second round and was clearly helped by the refs to beat Milwaukee and beat GSW by them being so injured they have to play guys who have fallen out of the league. Smh your the casual.
Strawberry Dragon lmfao refs held your hand last Philly and Milwaukee and the amount of injuries GSW had was insane. This title means nothing, if Klay didn’t tear his acl Warriors definitely would have forced a game 7.
Honestly bro, I remember all my friends talking about this game winner, and our school went crazy after they won the Finals. Now I barely see them cause of the pandemic lockdown and the NBA isn't as exciting as it was without any fans. We really had to enjoy this moment.
Mayette Domingo bro OG Anunoby was out and KD was out, that cancels each other out. They almost the same...also, quit bitching, they crushed KD twice in reg season and this series wasn’t close.

What about all the games Toronto beat GS w Klay? All flukes? After KD went down against Houston there were idiots everywhere (FS1 talking heads included) saying GS was playing better without him because it simplified things. I think that’s BS but Toronto beat them twice during the season with KD, one of them Kawhi didn’t play.

They also lost Klay for 1.5 games. But I think the Raptors don't get enough credit. Warriors might have won game 6 if Klay didn't get hurt, but Raptors were likely gonna win game 7.
Still remember this final. Incredible. Just that feeling of finally becoming Nba Champions as a Raptors fan was surreal. If everyone stayed then I think we could’ve created a dynasty. What a special team. Hopefully the Raptors will get back to the top, but this team will always be remembered as legendary 🖤❤️
I am from the UK and do not watch basketball but came across this on TH-cam and DAMN this was an epic Mini-Movie to watch for sure, might just take up watching basketball now!

*Mavericks fan here:* Congrats to the Raptors and their fans for an amazing Finals run. You guys were a force all season long. Never afraid, never backed down, fight 'til the end... Just awesome! Love seeing Lowry and Gasol win their first ring. Must've felt amazing.
What Up Gangstaaa bruh quit it, Raps beat a full and healthy warriors in all games during the season. Just accept the fact there’s a team outside the US just as strong and competitive as the Warriors and other top teams.
It doesn’t matter if the raps manage to make it back to the finals or not , this will always been an iconic moment in the history of Canadian basketball. Glad I got to witness it first hand specially after the disappointing few post season runs prior 🔥💯
I know the Championship is over but let us not discount that the Raftors kept up with the Warriors. Baby, that is how good you are. Excellent job, Raftors. So proud.
@@kabagemayannick5097 It matters because its a relevant footnote in the Raptors championship season, Raptors went 2-0 and 4-2 against them playoffs for a total of 6 wins 2 losses, Raptors proved to be the better team in both seasons.
the good ol days, I remember being in a hotel room with my parents and my brother just watching the final game and seeing history happen. man I miss 2019.
I watched this knowing that we had won already. I knew every twist and every turn and yet i was still in tears watching the final moments and seeing that sweet sweet moment of victory as the cup headed to the north the first time. I wanted the raps to do well this year. And i quietly hoped but didn't believe that they would go deep. Then they won the conference semis and i considered. Then we won the conference finals after they doubted us again against the Bucks and i thought "yeah man, maybe we can do this!" And we went up 3-1 and i thought "Ths is our year" and then we won 4-2 and it was surreal. This has been the best storyline in basketball to follow in years.
I will never forget this season every. Esp after all those years of getting embarrassed by Lebron. The Toronto Raptors are the 2019 NBA Champion. This is a fact.
Raptors championship is so good. Won with defense, not just chucking 3s. Won with an all around offense with variety and hard nosed defense and effort plays. Played through injuries and adversity. Nobody thumped their chests, everyone was professional with zero arrogance. This was good for the NBA.
Jeremy Lin has more rings than Karl Malone, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Vince CArter, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley and Chris Paul Let that sink in for a second
It was a crazy series and the Raptors have my respect! I just wish the injuries wouldn’t have plagued the Warriors. In my honest opinion if KD and Klay were healthy it would have been one hell of a game 7.
I was 11 and 12 when the Jays won back to back in 92 and 93. This playoff run and championship victory was much more satisfying as a 38 year old man. Go Toronto! Go Raps!
Kawhi will always be the greatest one year rental in sports history.

Still remember this final. Incredible. Just that feeling of finally becoming Nba Champions as a Raptors fan was surreal. If everyone stayed then I think we could’ve created a dynasty. What a special team. Hopefully the Raptors will get back to the top, but this team will always be remembered as legendary 🖤❤️
I am from the UK and do not watch basketball but came across this on TH-cam and DAMN this was an epic Mini-Movie to watch for sure, might just take up watching basketball now!
CANADA, THE NBA TITLE IS YOURS!!!!! STILL GIVES ME CHILLS!
2011 - Mavs
2014 - Spurs
2016 - Cavs
2019 - Raptors
Sweetest wins in the last decade in my opinion
the 2013 heat for me
Their 2012 championship stood out the most for me..simply because LBJ's desire for championship can no longer be denied..
2015-Warriors also) start of the new dynasty
Welp, I've no idea that it was allegedly rigged..it startedthe OKC downfall I guess.
@bruceownsu so from your pov you hate player that can shoot the lights out, then why do you watch the nba? do what you need to do, and get your ass outta here fucker.
Steph played his heart out in Game 3, just couldn't do it alone.
Steph is trash idk what u smoking
@@deletedvideos. no u
@@deletedvideos. u are trash
@@deletedvideos. fuck you asshole
@@jaimeyj ur trash lil kid just like ur dad
The Toronto raptors are 2019 NBA world champions. It never gets old thinking about it.
Tom Zemach damn u salty lmao
@Tom Zemach cry some more
Tom Zemach kid you on drugs?
Tom Zemach salty warriors bandwagon fan
Tom Zemach not replying cause you scared huh?
So happy for Toronto, even years later. Kawhi may've stayed for only one year, but what he did for them will never be forgotten.
*Mavericks fan here:*
Congrats to the Raptors and their fans for an amazing Finals run.
You guys were a force all season long. Never afraid, never backed down, fight 'til the end...
Just awesome! Love seeing Lowry and Gasol win their first ring. Must've felt amazing.
@Son of Mountain Thanks man appreciated!
One of the best finals in a long time.
So much respect for Nick Nurse, you can tell he has a special bond with his players.
2 weeks later and I still can't believe the Raptors actually won the title!
Ikr it actually looks more surreal now then is looked 2 weeks ago xd
At least to me.
To a severely injured Warriors team? Lol u can’t believe that? Lucky ass bitches
@@PeterJustGames adding KD to a 73 win team is cowardly and ruined the league so who cares if they were injured
What Up Gangstaaa the Warriors didn't get lucky in 2015, 2017 and 2018? Not to mention they needed 4 all stars to beat Lebron.
What Up Gangstaaa bruh quit it, Raps beat a full and healthy warriors in all games during the season. Just accept the fact there’s a team outside the US just as strong and competitive as the Warriors and other top teams.
Greatest time in Raps history. I’m so proud of this team. Go Raps Go!!!
It doesn’t matter if the raps manage to make it back to the finals or not , this will always been an iconic moment in the history of Canadian basketball. Glad I got to witness it first hand specially after the disappointing few post season runs prior 🔥💯
No one:
Serge Ibaka: I'm the NBA Champ now baby😂😂😂
he said it all french to like CHAMPEEEEION
Ibaka can get one without kd lol
*Ibaka: Im the Nba Champion Baby!!!*
35:03 - 35:05
Before Harden and Westbrook too
RasenRendan that doesn’t mean anything. Serge Ibaka didn’t leave, he was traded.
"Champ now"
@@nick128 Still got a ring before Westbrook and Harden. Thats all im saying.
yeh bebeh
I know the Championship is over but let us not discount that the Raftors kept up with the Warriors. Baby, that is how good you are. Excellent job, Raftors. So proud.
Raptors
dafq spell it properly bro
Raptors kept up with Half the warriors. Get it right. 2 of them couldn't play.
Raptors win every game in Oakland, no matter in regular season or playoff.
Raptors mauled and tore the Oracle down, to the point they need to move to a new arena because of the claw marks left in it.
@@D95-d7y 👌
😂😂....Y 'all are sorry ( Since when does regular season matter? )
@@kabagemayannick5097 It matters because its a relevant footnote in the Raptors championship season, Raptors went 2-0 and 4-2 against them playoffs for a total of 6 wins 2 losses, Raptors proved to be the better team in both seasons.
Derek G So if both teams are healthy GS vs Raps ....Who wins? Let's be real now.
It was so surreal during this time. Especially living near Toronto and witnessing all of this. One of the greatest things I've seen.
Congrats Raptors! They won it and no ifs and buts. Injuries happen, they are the champs and we can't change past with ifs and buts.
Raptors won by default.
@@jamesmorales4735 Raptors won because they were the better team regardless of who the Warriors had on the court.
@@ckendall67 Raptors won specifically because of Danny Green’s play at 31:56 (Thompson running the floor)
This was a blast from the past, gave me so much memories from 2016 Finals.
the good ol days, I remember being in a hotel room with my parents and my brother just watching the final game and seeing history happen. man I miss 2019.
I love these mini movies of the nba finals 🙏🔥
Kawhi brought balance to the force and defeated the empire of tyranny. Thank you Raptors for saving basketball. The bad guys LOST!
Shut yo nerd ass up
ryan fuck you pussy ass RYAN 🤣
Ryan just shut the fuck up
ryan imagine being named Ryan lmao who gave u confidence to make that ur username stupid bitch
ryan you look gay
Was actually just watching Kawhi dominate in Raptors but as I watch the Raptors playoffs I also fell in love with the 2019 Raptors roster. Awesome.
what a beautiful season, playoff and FINALS
kawhi is like thanos. Destroys everything on his way
20:29 that the only time you we’ll see a Knicks jersey in the playoffs
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Plus a LeBron James Laker Jersey at 20:28
This aged well…
Knicks are back
@@Munchimus HAHAHAHA
Not gonna lie klay was scary this series hardest I’ve seen him play
He was scary but that's how he is all the time
Splash bros are rediculously good.
Yeah I got a feeling he might get reinjured when he was pushing that hard in game 6.
His emotions got the better of him against the run of play! Never attack in anger!
Klay been that way he is a cheatcode
Hello to me in 2030 when I'm still watching this video
Til the last day I take a breath 💯
Hear hear
me too!
me to i watch every night i swear thank you kawhi
This comment will become iconic. 👍😎
Goosebumps the whole video...
Lowry 1:0 in the finals. GOAT
Tom Zemach mad bro?
Kerr says You and Nick says We
Just noticed that. Nick is a part of the family
"I love when players don't talk about how much they want to win, they show you how much they want to win." 💯
0:39 welcome to Canada here's a man from Delhi, a Cameroonian, and a guy who doesn't care where in the world he plays
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Patrick Ware yes because anybody who isn’t white or black is surely from overseas
Who is the GOAT? (in the league right now)
Like = Kawhi Leonard 🐐
Comment = KD 🐍
Kd
KD
KD? Lol
With kds injury, he won’t be the best anymore. Either Kawhi or Lebron
Bro its not even close the10 minutes KD played in the finals it was obvious lol
God, every time I watch that last shot, my heart breaks for Curry. In another timeline, that man climbed a mountain with that shot.
Kawhi is like a new Lebron but with a calm play..after Kobe,Lebron,Curry,KD..now the Claw,the Board man..the fun guy..Kawhi..a ha ha ha..😎
Finally an interesting series this was incredible and TO deserves it
Jeremy Lin got more championship rings than Melo, Westbrook, and Harden.
damn
And Cousins.hahahaha
Don't forget barkley,miller, iverson, nash and Harden
And Chris Paul
@@andreg2483 no
An unforgettable summer - thank you Raptors!
I watched this knowing that we had won already. I knew every twist and every turn and yet i was still in tears watching the final moments and seeing that sweet sweet moment of victory as the cup headed to the north the first time.
I wanted the raps to do well this year. And i quietly hoped but didn't believe that they would go deep. Then they won the conference semis and i considered. Then we won the conference finals after they doubted us again against the Bucks and i thought "yeah man, maybe we can do this!" And we went up 3-1 and i thought "Ths is our year" and then we won 4-2 and it was surreal.
This has been the best storyline in basketball to follow in years.
One of the best finals series I've watched
Worst* 😭
I literally just want full recordings of these games
Well, don't watch Mini movies
These mini movies making me emotional LOL.
This was my favourite championship run. So much intrigue, energy and the runs were spectacular. I love rewatching this every now and again
Couldn't have said it any better. What a time to be alive living in toronto. I'll never forget the feeling
I will never forget this season every. Esp after all those years of getting embarrassed by Lebron.
The Toronto Raptors are the 2019 NBA Champion. This is a fact.
Raptors championship is so good. Won with defense, not just chucking 3s. Won with an all around offense with variety and hard nosed defense and effort plays. Played through injuries and adversity. Nobody thumped their chests, everyone was professional with zero arrogance. This was good for the NBA.
Outside of Toronto, it was so great to see Gasol in the finals. Made me so happy for the big fella! Lin and Lowry too!
Jeremy Lin has more rings than Karl Malone, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Vince CArter, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley and Chris Paul
Let that sink in for a second
Noah Cool5
You forgetting allen iverson, john stockton, tmac..and more haha
@@darrienperez5836 oh my bad lol
Jeremy Lin will be given unanimous mvp posthumously 🤣🤣
And Melo 😂
You forgot to emphasize that he has more than all of them COMBINED
This still puts a huge smile on my face :)
As a warrior fan, congratulations to Toronto they fought well and they earned it.
The ultimate mini movie. Remember that the Board Man gets paid, and the 6ix is a special place.
You damn right it is.
I pretty much played with a broken hand 😝
Real Talk.!
The BoardMan Gets Paid FO'REAL !!
You again
I love how Curry respects everyone he plays against
The fact GSW rebounded and won again in 2022, speaks to their greatness. Dynasty. And I'm a Raptors fan still delusional about 2019.
It was a crazy series and the Raptors have my respect! I just wish the injuries wouldn’t have plagued the Warriors. In my honest opinion if KD and Klay were healthy it would have been one hell of a game 7.
Don't forget Cousins
Curry knew how LeBron felt 3 years ago when he carried Cleveland in games 5-7
Here we go again lbj fans putting all the credit to lebron as if he was the only one playing
@@janangelomaghuyop3194 Nigga who else was hooping like bron 4 years ago
@@catherine9468 bosh
A city, a province a Country celebrates. Excellent commentary. These two commentators need to get a ring too.
who else is watching this to distract themselves from the fact that the raps are trash this year?
doing better now
@@king_yush Better but we need a big man!!!!!!
@@nademelgazzar8825 I know Baynes is not even good I which Marc Gasol stayed and Serge Ibaka
@@Dynamic_Daniel Even Marc was starting to get old and losing his talent. Ibaka staying would have been great!!
We’re doing great now. Have some faith in your team
I was 11 and 12 when the Jays won back to back in 92 and 93. This playoff run and championship victory was much more satisfying as a 38 year old man. Go Toronto! Go Raps!
