From LeBronto to Champions: The Impossible Toronto Raptors Title Run 

That Kawhi shot wasn't just series or playoff run saver, it was literally franchise and Masais job saver

There’s nothing better then that 2019 Toronto raptors. Man l loved that team.

The impact kawhi left on this team was so crucial. OG got to develop because of kawhi, and Pascal took the next step once he left. As of 1/21 they aren't there anymore

Man hearing all about the DeRozan saga again makes me truly miss him, any true Raptors fan knows how big a role he played in getting the championship here eventually. So sad he couldnt be here for it. Thanks Demar, Toronto loves you!!

Kawhi in Toronto was HIM. That 2019 raptors team is the reason I fell in love with basketball and started taking it seriously. I’ll always remember watching game 2 of the first round at the arena and watching the rest during late nights with my dad enjoying every position of the playoffs!

The addition of Marc gasol was very important in them going past Philly

I was in the building for that Philly game 7! It was one of the wildest moments of my life!

Felt so bad for demar but it had to be done

love that you acknowledged Demar. he should never be forgotten by this generation of raps fans

As a Toronto kid who grew up in the mid-late 90's I never thought I'd ever see a championship from any of the major sports come to Toronto, but it finally happened in 2019 with the Raptors. That 2019 playoff run still seems like it was just a dream, but it actually happened and I'm so thankful for all of the amazing memories I have because of it. The parade day was something out of a fairy tale as well, so happy I went to watch it with all of my friends #TorontoVSEveryone

Crazy how kawhi changed so much in one playoff run

As a Raptors fan this is fire! Thank you Dylan!

Raptors winning the title felt so revolutionary it relit my love for basketball. I was getting tired of the NBA and dynasties and superstars, an underdog moment like this was too perfect it almost feels scripted looking back, versus the 2016 finals

Guys it's so hard editing these videos, imma give this man his flowers 🌺🌺 Respect

-comes to toronto -playes the best basktball of his career -wins toronto its first championship -refuses to elaborate further -leaves

Man dylan really needs more attention these videos are so enjoyable and he is so underrated of the effort put into them and you can see it

we needed this after the blue jays playoff lose, thank you dylan :)

Crazy how RU-vid creators are making better documentaries than billion dollar media companies these days 😮 great video man, what a fantastic story the 2019 raptors were, they won a title the right way with player development, team building, and opportunistic trades

Ill never forget that run! Thank you Masai and Kawhi

Dylan blessing us with amazing content this Sunday.

I remember watching the Kawhi shot as a raptor fan and I was screaming in happiness for like 5 minutes straight. That shot was crazy

Growing up in Toronto, I always watched big games and heard talk of basketball here and there but it wasnt until 2019 that I REALLY fell in love with the sport. There was talk of the Raptors seriously being able to acquire Superstar talent, something Toronto is not used to in any sport (Maybe minus Hockey sometimes..) Having to let go of Demar who grew as a man here and loved this city with all his heart was tough for us to swallow but it needed to be done and we all knew it. During our run, you couldnt go ANYWHERE in the city without seeing something Raptors related. Kawhi could eat anywhere for free, people who nvr talked sports in their life were all wearing coming to games and to Jurassic Park (outdoor watching zone for games) wearing raptors apparel, young, old, black, white, asian, it was awesome to see. For a year it felt like Toronto was unified and everyone was happy. Kawhi was a great mentor for our core aswell. Freddy, OG, Siakam all learned alot from just 1 year with Kawhi and it showed.

kyle lowry is the definition of a franchise legend

The quality of this video is incredible! You managed to grab so many iconic raps clips! Great work being the best sports channel on RU-vid. Your documentaries are epic!

Damn what a video. Makes me respect the Raptors championship even more

I still remember catching the last 2 minutes of that game 7 versus the 76ers. I was in the passenger's seat of my mom's car watching it and when Kawhi missed that last free throw I instantly felt a pit in my stomach. And then. The shot. I was so stunned I sat there eyes wide and mouth dropped. Greatest moment I've ever personally witnessed in sports.

The Best One Season Wonder NBA Team Ever😩🙌🔥

Convenient you uploaded this the day after the Blue Jays Wild Card choke, almost like you wanted to help Toronto sports fans recover and feel better, thank you. 2019 may have been the best year of my life, only contributed by watching the Raptors win a championship, the feeling was, to put it lightly, ethereal, never felt so happy in my life. To this day I don’t think I’ve had a happier moment. Kawhi saved this city, and I endlessly thank him for that, hope that with Barnes, the Raptors will be back here in the future.

Warrior fan here. Damn that season lol. GG Toronto!

That was the best nba season I have ever watched

Dylan. I just want to say I'm impressed at your videos. These videos are so professional and tell a full and complete story. Thanks for these vids, and please keep making them! You have my full support!

WAS WAITING FOR THIS FROM YOU DYLAN... THANK YOU

Man I feel like i grew up with DeRozan and Lowry it brings a tear to my eye to see someone talk about my favorite team all time like this awesome video

Watching this video really opened my eyes. Started watching the Raptors in 2013-14 and seeing how it all came together before that season is awesome. Great video.

Quality of the video is mind-blowing high. Thank you for all the effort

love this channel. high quality videos consistently. W Dylan

This was really well done! Thank you for mentioning the insane amount of ridicule that the Raptors and Massai faced when they. traded Demar and fired Casey. Everyone, from the fans in Toronto to the media and fans in the US were crapping on the Raptors for a good 2-3 weeks. It all ended once Kawhi had his hilarious laugh and the training camp started 😂

Your production is so amazing and yet it some how gets even better every video

Great video, looking forward to the next one! ❤

Was watching one of your videos earlier today, looking forward to diving into this one!

Having lived through the raptors rebuild and the lebronto era 2019/20 was the most epic and fun season I’ve ever experienced as a Toronto sports fan. That playoff run probably took a year off my life from the stress 😂 especially game 7 against Philly and the first three games against Milwaukee

Broooo I've been a fan since the beginning and I am proud of the growth!!

Needed this video before the season! Awesome job man thanks!

Thanks for the effort in this video, man!

Dylan has blessed us with his God-tier content again

This was really well put together and a great watch! Thanks a ton!

Great in-depth analysis of the Raptors unforseen rise to NBA champions. Great content 🔥

This channel is the definition of worth the wait

The shot still gives me chills

This was so well done, I loved watching. Thank you

Love the quality of your content. Excelent work as always!

You genuinely one of the best you tubers dawg 🙏

I am still sorry for Demar, it’s one of my dearest wishes that this man will win a ring

The way you do on depth to the way things were at the time in each point in time is amazong, hearong about the 15/16 squad was getting me hype all over for them again, and the 2018 defeat was crushing all over. Thank you also for giving credit to how good those old raptors teams were despite the playoff faolure.

Bravo man, you just took me down memory lane, miss that golden age era of raptors basketball, I was there for the journey and what a ride it was until we finally won the chip

Thanks for covering Toronto's timeline to their championship. I remember when guys like Anthony Parker or Jason Kapono were on the team. That squad will impact the NBA Basketball Culture in Toronto. It's for the City and the Raptors Fanbase.

Amazing content as always

this video is beautiful man, toronto is my team and watching them win the finals live was incredible

What a wonderfully choreographed video ! Well crafted ! Well told ! And that recap of past failures while the kawhi shit bounces was so suspenseful !!

Nice some Raptors content! Dylan coming thru again with a solid analysis

never forget the 2019 raptors :')

Amazingly put together video

This was excellent. Good work.👍🏾

Excellent breakdown!

I never fail to smile every time I see a replay of the Kawhi shot

Thank you so much for doing a video on my Raptors! You are the best at what you do!

i love you man. this video was amazing

Well done video bro. Thank you and keep up the amazing work in the bball world.

That edit/transition into Kawhi's game 7 buzzer beater gave me chills

18:21 The Raptors had a top 10 pick in Jakob Poeltl, same draft as Siakam….still a wonderful video and I always get hyped whenever you upload

Sick edit! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Best Series I remember that Lebronto 🔥💪🏼

As a raptors fan, thank you very much Dylan

Awesome video I fulljoyed this just as the other documentaries on the 2019 Raptors nba championship win. As a born Toronto native it was 26 years of not seeing a professional sport team in Toronto win a major title since 1993 Blue Jays. I hope the Leafs learn from the Raptors one day and get back to finals and win since 1967

Bro the production on these are crazy bro great job

Thank you for this video

holy shit man thank you so muchfor making a raps video. As a Raps fan this means a lot

Great job 👏 told the story perfectly.

amazing content bro! Masai is doing it again as we speak

Love it when you upload man

Loved their entire journey as a team just so sad to see demar go

I want my Nuggets to win a championship just so Dylan can make a video like this about them. All of your videos are bangers

this is the year I started really watching basketball, and as a canadian what a year to start man... the toronto parade was the most amazing thing i have ever been to

let's gooooo ! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 western Canada here. we the north. so hyped on cansdian players and the game rising like crazy I'm Canada!!!!

You should have a million subscribers bro, your so damn good with these videos

As a casual basketball fan from Canada, this championship run is even more amazing the more I know

amazing video man!

great vid, got chills on the kawhi shot edit

No one on NBA RU-vid has this level and mix of production and information other than like JxmyHighroller. Elite and always impressive.

As a Raps fan from day 1 the 2019 Championship run was incredible. Raptors took care of the Magic in 5 games in the first round. Then a tough series against Philly. Kawhi's game 7 shot against the Sixers was magical. Being down 2-0 to the Bucks in the ECF and then reeling off 4 wins in a row to win the series. Finally, against the Warriors in the Finals splitting the first 2 games in Toronto and then winning the next 3 out of 4 games. The 1 loss being in Toronto and the 3 wins being in Golden State, which resulted in winning the Championship in game 6. Great memories that'll last for the rest of my life.

God i remember sitting on the couch with my dad beside me in his chair watching that game 7. I was 16 and that is the greatest sports watching moment of my life. I can remember the goosebumps and the pure joy i felt when that ball fell. I wish i could relive that moment.

This was dope 🙏🏾

Can you make one on the 2011 Mavericks next ! Keep up the great work!

The minute I heard about Kawhi coming to Toronto I immediately thought we had a chance at a championship and had to throw that thought away so fast so I didn't jynx it. And by the end of the season, we were 2019 champions. Love to see it

Very well put together. Gave it the 10000th like. 👍

Glad you brought up the 2015 offseason, such an underrated part of Masai's resume

I remember once Kawhi got traded to Toronto. I was the only one in my school saying that they were gonna win it all. And they did. I'll never forget this team because of that lol.

As a die hard Raps fan, that game 7 buzzer beater still gives me chill every time i watch it.

Man i love your videos!

30:00 this vid is so well done man! good stuff
