That was one of the best constructed teams top to bottom of the modern era. Absolutely ridiculous bench, probably the deepest bench of all time when you factor in that OG was hurt for the ENTIRE PLAYOFFS, it just makes it more impressive. The other thing is that Toronto went 6-2 against Golden State that year (Regular season and Finals) which is a record I don’t believe any team ever had against the Warriors in their golden 4 championships era. If Gasol, Lowry, Kawhi and Siakam all go on to make the Hall of Fame, the appreciation Toronto will get for this chip will go up ten fold. KD getting hurt shouldn’t be held against the Raptors, just look at the path they had to go through to even get the Finals. The Sixers and Bucks were absolutely LOADED and in their prime, this wasn’t a pathetic East in 2019. This title was earned and was the product of careful roster construction over the decade of the 2010’s, before pulling the trigger to get Kawhi and put them over the top.
I really feel like they could have won back to back if he stayed there
Facts. 3019 raptors had amazing balance.
Doubt it !! Guy has had injury after injury since then and not their fault GS had injuries because you play who you play but if Klay and KD don't get hurt I really doubt they would have won
@@ericfleming347 considering the year after it was the heat and lakers in finals , I have no doubt in my mind the 2019 raptors would mop the heat but I also think they stand a fair chance against those 2020 lakers in the finals
@@ericfleming347 what do you think ?
@@JamesPawk07 such a well balanced team
He could've stayed one more year in Toronto and still went to the clippers
Should have stayed 5yrs and won 2-3 more chips and 2-3 more FMVPs to be ranked up there with Michael Jordan and Lebron. Then move to Clippers or Lakers around this time.
@@akendon7260 that would not hv happened at all.
Idc kawhi will forever be a fool for leaving that team, they could’ve easily beat the bubble lakers n went back to back. East was so wide open mfing Miami made the finals twice in a 3 yr span as a 5th seed and 8th seed
Can’t fault a guy for wanting to be in his hometown.
He earned the right to do whatever
@@Playoff1p that’s true but he chose pride over continuity, didn’t appreciate what he had in Toronto then went to LA and hasn’t reached the Con finals in 5 yrs, it’s been a fail even he’d prob admit it
Bro a fool for moving back to his country
@@martrellvabeach5437 he a fool for throwing away a potential dynasty, you think if he went back in time and saw the future he’d make the same decision to leave?
It’s cool to see Draymond talk about the Raptors with so much respect and interest. Never saw this coming.
Draymond “Absolutely Incredible” Green 😂
😂😂😂
lmao
Awesome interview
Kawhi not wanting to go in? Unbelievable. ;)
I wonder why he was always injured, he’s usually always in shape too
Nurse would still be in Toronto if Kawhi stayed.
Did Nurse ask him: Leonard... Ka-WHY!!?? 😢😭
😂😂😂
Kawhi will forever be a goat in Toronto idc if he wanted to do was go home, I can’t fault him for that
That team was stacked with DPOY
Draymond has really hit the ground running on this. His show is top notch. I had to subscribe! That is really crazy b/c I haven't approved of a lot of his actions one bit.

content to ad ratio intolerable
Off topic, if anyone watched locked on warriors TH-cam channel with Cyrus, he's now moved over to The Golden Daze podcast, give him a sub 🤝🏼 great fun with informative content.
Nick Nurse a die hard Prince fan?
Only 73% of this video is content related to the title. Draymond, it’s too much advertisement for a 7 min video. My ADHD has me wanting to click away to some other clickbait sports clip showing at the bottom of my screen.
Kawhi hit the luckiest shot I've ever seen on that run to beat the team Nurse is repping in the video... That ball bounced so many times, that when it went in it felt like it was their destiny to go all the way. It still took KD and Klay going down.
I wonder what a second year, with the confidence of winning it all, and having played together a whole season, would've looked like.
I knew kawhi was leaving day 1 even if it ended the way it did
Hi Draymond, please tell Klay to stay a warrior. ❤
Elimination game 0-10
@@marcosmarquez15384 rings
plus a Lucky Charm Jeremy Lin ;)
Kawhi kawhi kawhi 😢
The draymont ad show
Possibly dumbest move a star has ever made. Had he of stayed theyd of been in contention for some years. He’d be getting a hell of a lot more winning done than with Clippers I’ll tell u that. He’d also get he’ll of lot more praise.
Just all the Canada side jobs he can get would be crazy already
Kawhi would have at least 1 more ring maybe even 2 if he stayed. Absolutely worst move a star has ever done
Nope
His career is not done yet.
@@MarkLaw13your right it’s feneto 😂
@@twixxcoke5940 laugh now cry later
@@TheSwagIsBack yes it’s not even debatable
If he stays, and remains somewhat healthy; TO gets to at least one more final and likely two. They woulda named a province after him lol. Instead he's sputtering away in LA...
Saskachkawhi does have a ring to it.
@@MrLifeUnderTheScope
Don’t be a 🤡. Toronto is know as one of the best cities in the world
Bro that was not happening at all.
Hyper Ice is a terrible name tbh. I first read it as Hype Rice.
Kawhi is fucking diva lol Kawhi reminds me of the episode in fresh prince of Bel Air playing basketball 🏀
Kawhi is not a diva...wtf
Toronto curse they all got it
Oh well. 5 years later it just shows what a dumb move it was to leave 😂
...you mean leave San Antonio, right? ;)
Still a hall of famer either way
People can say what they want ...at the end if the day he didnt wanna go there, he over achieved AND GOT THEIR ONLY RING !! HES FROM MORENO VALLEY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THATS WHERE HE WANTED TO GO , CANT BLAME.HIM ...HIS ACL AND MENISCUS BEING TORN ON BACK TO BACK YEARS IS VERY UNLUCKY , HES A COMPETITOR AND TOP 3 WHEN HEALTHY 🤷♂️
Does he sucker punch his guests?
Winning is not that important to Kawhi.
Oh please
Hi green how are you doing
The Spurs tried to send Kawhi to Toronto to rot 😆
They sent him to the team that had the #1 record in the East the previous season. They sent him into the best possible situation.
Warriors might have won it if they knew how to beat Raptors and executed it. And then if someone coupd shut down Fred. Warriors didnt have any answers and Raptors were so scared to lose still that they took out Klay just in case...
If Klay and Steph went off for 3 games then it might have been done so Raptors had to take out Klay. NBA peoples was ok with it...
Raptors winning a championship is like Drake becoming a rap star.
Good enough in skills... but crude culturally.
Kahwi just wanted to get back at Warriors and knew Canada was willing to do whatever it takes to gain some basketball respect. He might have not wanted to win like that if possible but he also can't blame himself for Canada being crude.
Raptors traded away DeRozan to win a championship and they couldn't be known for disloyalty just to lose so they had to make sure to get rid of Warriors threats.
Never forget what Danny Green did to Klay Thompson. Never forgive.
Its was an accident. Shit happens and stop whining
No one will say it but that injury was on klay
Kawhi won’t win with the Clippers, coulda won another ring with the Raptors
Tired of this whole narrative just cuz I'm Canadian I have to be a fan of the Toronto Raptors cuz they're a Canadian team?? Imma cheer for Canada in the Olympics not a team of a league
Who would stay in Toronto and he’s originally from USA. Vince was drafted there but who in America wants to come away from home and be away in Canada 🇨🇦 nobody wants to leave there home. You will be home sick. You want to go home.
But regrets his decision and the way he provoqued his trade.
So whys jokic and luka here? Why isnt shai wiggins and jamal home?
He wanted to go back home. Imagine if every athlete in every sport only wanted to play in their home town. Ridiculous reason. The guy wants to leave, fine. I want to go home, feeble excuse
and he was only 28..coulda gone home a couple years later
