    Toronto did it the right way. No tanking, Years of hard work and then fortune favored them. Wise picks, some unheard of like FVV. Not a single lottery pick on the roster. True underdog story

    Congrats!!

    So in the 5 quarters Curry had to see what other superstars go through yearly, he folded like a lawn chair.

    And I didn’t like her question to Gasol about Memphis. Why make those fans feel bad?

    I wonder if the Raptors will get that same asterisks the 90's Rockets get. Will History say: There was no Lebron in the East?

    I bet Memphis fans are more happy than resentful that Gasol won a title.

    They went through Embiid/Simmons and (most likely) the MVP in Giannis. And then they had to go through the vaunted Warriors, as banged up as they were.

    Don't think there will be too many asterisks.

    Kawhi the Dynasty Killer.

    Killed the Heat’s dynasty. Killed the Warriors dynasty.

    90's Rockets went through one million 50+ win teams on the road and they still get the asterisk.

    I didn’t mean they would be resentful. Just bringing them up was inappropriate at that time.

    If we're going to play the asterisk game, this championship is a much bigger asterisk than the 90s Rockets.

    Weird play call by Kerr on the Curry shot. Seems like the play you’d call if you needed a three with 2 seconds left. With 6-7 seconds left I think Curry could have gotten himself a better shot in an iso or pnr.
