Still get goosebumps hearing the call from Matty D. What a magical spring that was!

Just the best moment ever.

Top 3 with Carter's homerun and Bautista's bat flip.

It was at that moment we knew..... the Raps were winning the title

The greatest Raptor of all time making the greatest shot in Raptors history en route to capping off the greatest season in Raptors history.

That Philly team was insane... Simmons/Reddick/Jimmy/Tobias/Embiid... shortest guy to play in the series (non garbage time) was JJ @ 6'3 and second shortest was Jimmy @ 6'7 :lol:

Philly would be heavy title favourites with Jimmy still on the team now

It wasnt just Kawhi though.. Pascal had an incredible series especially defensively

It was honestly the best birthday present I've ever received. All I asked for was a great game, and I received maybe the best moment in Raptors history.

Watching that championship run with friends and family was an amazing time. That shot already feels nostalgic

That PHI team was insane and would be favourites to win it all this year if it exists. The current PHI swapped that lineup's Reddick for Seth Curry and Jimmy Butler for Danny Green.

I agree that Raps vs PHI was the real championship series in 2019.

No lie, that shot was iconic. I would have said it was too cliche if it happened in a movie. Shot leaves Kawhis finger tips near the buzzer, followed by silence and an agonizingly long bounce around the rim (at the time) and the whole stadium erupts.

I thought we'd still lose to Milwaukee. And after the first two games it looked like it. Then Nurse decided to take Bud to school. The 26-3 run in game 6 of the ECF was another memorable moment of these playoffs.

Happy birthday, I hope your day is amazing and filled with happiness and love.

It felt like time stopped at that moment and the only thing happening was the ball floating through the air then bouncing off the rim once, then twice, a third time and finally a fourth before falling into rim and creating chaos.

Another memorable moment: Game 4 Finals 3rd Q, back-to-back f**k you 3's by Kawhi

The way I mentally deal with these past 18 months is by reminiscing spring/summer of 2019. It reminds me what being alive felt like.

2019 was peak Raptors and peak Earth.
