If we end up winning the WS, this run will surpass 2019 Raptors IMO. Absolute bonkers

And many others. Quite unique run. They started off the season much worse than they were on paper, only to end up far better than anyone imagined. At the plate, everyone except for Santander and Vladdy had a career year or close to it. Vladdy saved it for the post-season.

YAMA in a close out game would be scary. Jays need to win game 5. Mookie will probably have a breakout after his at bats last game looked better.

Different sports. In baseball, bats can get hot for a month and carry you. In hockey you can ride a goalie to the Stanley cup. Rarely does the underdog win in the NBA.

2018/2019 Raptors team were a legit Finals contender after the Kawhi trade, and Gasol trade.

2025 Blue Jays were barely expected to make the playoffs given how 2024 went (end up winning the division) and two of their 3 playoff starters are a pitcher who started the year in A-ball and one coming-off tommy john.

Winning NBA Finals for that 2018/2019 Raptors team going into the playoffs is like 1 standard deviation event. Winning the World Series for 2025 Blue Jays team going into the playoffs is more 3-4 standard deviation event. It's bonkers

I should have said "Blue Jays would surpass the 2019 Raptors in what they achieved given their talent level"

I think the 2019 Raptors was an all-time great team in the history of the NBA.
