Raptors have got to be one of the most incredible runs I've ever seen in basketball ... just.. the story lines of this team... the come backs and buzzer beaters... 6 or 7 poster-izing dunks or shots... the stategic gambles of trading a franchise player for an all-star rental, or letting go a coach of the year for a rookie coach, and depth of a team built on basically no 1st round, and even player health strategy and load management (agaist a team that failed miserably at load management) and rookie coaching and defensive pairings that shut down all stars, and some of the clutch games and quarters by depth players or underrated players, and just the storyline of Kawhi and Lowry and co. bringing the Raptors its 1st Champion over the modern NBA dynasty team -- just, wow... WOW. 1st team in NBA history to win a Championship after trailing in 3 series and 1st Game 7 buzzer beater to win a series. 1st Champion team based outside the US (and all the stereotypes and recruitment challenges that poses) and 1st Champion for a professional Canadian team -- in any of the big major pro sports -- in 26 years. Not to mention the story line of Kawhi... And the way the rest of the Raptor team was built out of players that were not drafted high. Or the gamble management took... And the rookie head coach and staff out coaching opposing vets (Kawhi on Greek Freak; TOR out-strategizing GSW on health and load management; etc).
As a Blazers fan I was watching the Lillard shot and thinking what is he doing. Once the clock went under five seconds I knew what he was going to do, use that HOF Limitless Range Badge
Kawhi 'Klutch Klaw AKA Dynasty Killer AKA The King in the North AKA The Posterizer' Leonard this playoff run had so many 📸 iconic poster moments: 1️⃣. series-winning buzzer-beating 'the shot', 2️⃣. and 'the squat', 3️⃣. the huge dunk over Embiid, 4️⃣. the huge dunk in Game 4 over Antetokounmpo, 5️⃣. the superman dunk in Game 6 also over Antetokounmpo, 6️⃣. and the superman dunk over Mirotić, 7️⃣. the huge dunk through Harris and Ennis. Honorary mention: wearing goggles to the post-game conference and abandoning his MVP trophy.
I'm sorry but Dame easily put on the best 3pt shooting series of games ever, the degree and variation of 3 pointers he took and made is insane; stepbacks, corners, deep shots, contested, off the dribble and A STEPBACK FADE FROM 37 to cap it off!!!
Utah really has the best crowd. Look at those uniforms, and they're one of the only crowds who have almost everyone wearing the given shirt. Love to see it.
This is the playoffs,not the regular season. And anyway Cavs did not make the playoffs so that is why it's not there. And also DeAndre Jordan was in the Mavs and also they missed the playoffs. If you are talking about Michael Jordan,then it definitely can't be there. He retired in the late 1990's or early 2000's and this season was 2018-2019 season. Don't believe me? Get research. The reason why I think you don't understand that because I think you watch the regular season more than the playoffs. Or maybe you just like Michael Jordan really much that you think he's still in the NBA. Or maybe you think DeAndre Jordan makes the playoffs every year which is NOT true. I think you need to get more information on the NBA playoffs,players,retirement and definitely watch the playoffs more.
Whenever I hoop against ppl for the first time, my first couple possessions I always attack the rim and finish with my left so ppl think I’m nice w the left.. when in reality, I’m just left handed. Gotta keep these chumps on their toes.
DJ Augustin is headed down the right road to stardom. Wonder how Orlando will fare next season after that impressive comeback after the All Star break.
Tremendo pecho frío el Lillard para arriesgarse a meter un triple desde tan lejos cuando podía meter un doble y ganaban, pero no me quejo porque nos regalo una hermosa jugada que no se me olvidara en mucho tiempo
My favorite play from this year was when Houston got eliminated, and didn't have any excuses left to use. Close second was Lillards damn near half court tie breaker and waving goodbye to OKC.
Imagine if Kevin Durant, James harden and Russell westbrook were teammates once upon a team, imagine if they were drafted on the same team, they would never be traded
Harden knows how important is to the Rockets and to the NBA for he is the MVP. A very smart player who doesn't want to be limited by "foul trouble" Harden has a lot of triple doubles playing like that. Rebonding is the way to play defense. Remember Dennis Rodman?

Damian Lillard finally got the respect he deserves. That’s my favorite player right there.💪🏾
Me too . Some recognition finally !!
He is everybody favorite player now
same
Lillard went crazy first round. He wanted to make a statement.
Ūñçłë Đřëw Westbrook was talking shit 🤷♂️
Uncle drew Greek freak and DW and DJ a and 5 foot and Greek freak

@@dafreq8297 Come again?
Trill Vibez Like how u reply now tho because u didn’t have confidence in the team from the start😭😭😂
@@dafreq8297 No bro Its cause Im just now seeing this I Been knew he was gon go Crazy against Denver Lmao
Giannis lookin like mix of Dr J. And inspector gadget..From the freethrow line, in a game, with the stretch..that boy just insane!
the very final plays of this playoffs were Kawhi's:
- Curry three = "NOPE."
- rebound = "BOARD MAN GETS PAID."
- free throws = "BUCKET. BUCKET."
Imagine lillard missed that shot, every1 would think he’s dumb for shooting it😂
That's why it's so amzing
3:59 - Shaun Livingston did that to James Harden last year too. James didn’t learn his lesson... 😂😂😂
I remember that in the conference finals last year😂😂
Any move would've worked on James no defense Harden.
True
Hi sweetie thanks again for all the paperwork
Lizi Moody Specter in transition yes but not in transition hardens d is very good actually
Giannis really murdered Thon Maker throughout the series.
And they're old teamates lol
Wonder what game winning, set clinching damn near half court shot comes in first 🤔

Loving that you had like a 3 to 1 ratio of Utah's plays for Rockets plays, even though the series ended 3-1 ..yiiiikes.
This entire year has been so fun to watch

Damn Giannis pulled A MJ in midair. NOW he goes sideways, look @the air, look @the hangtime look@the flying-motion.
Dame didn't give hand to that girl Lol 0:31
That girl looked fine 👀❤️
@SamoaVsEverybody_814 ™ 2.0 jfjsjjskmfks no doubt bro
That look of content on the dude who got it though
The Pixels she got finessed
Now playing Damaged Coda
That Miles Turner dunk is underrated asf
Haji Gamer2101 So true... giannis giannis giannis is all I hear
First year at UCLA men’s b-ball team! I hope to be blessed playing with any of these special teams in a a few years.
Yeah alright buddy.
Zevoks Lmao hes the water boy of the team
7:58 - Lmao, that was actually a 36-foot bomb, Brian Anderson. 😂
Ūñçłë Đřëw the first one was thirty he had like three our four 30 plus threes made
Dame is the best
How many MVP's does the "best" have?
@@dafreq8297 None, but I'm sure that he doesn't like his own comment
the western conference semi finals got me chills!!! Im so nervous for my team gsw
Bandwagon
Lillard's shot shoulda been the last play of this video. UNBELIEVABLE! I would put it right there with Jordan's winning shot against the Cavs.
This is the playoffs,not the regular season. And anyway Cavs did not make the playoffs so that is why it's not there. And also DeAndre Jordan was in the Mavs and also they missed the playoffs. If you are talking about Michael Jordan,then it definitely can't be there. He retired in the late 1990's or early 2000's and this season was 2018-2019 season. Don't believe me? Get research.

DJ Augustine and Montrez Harrel are both super underrated (sorry if I spelt a name wrong)
The dame's shot!!
"DAMIAN LILLARD, FROM WAYYYYYY DOWNTOWNNNNN"
* i live in oregon, my God i've never been so proud of the blazers*
DAMETIME!!!
Whenever I hoop against ppl for the first time, my first couple possessions I always attack the rim and finish with my left so ppl think I’m nice w the left.. when in reality, I’m just left handed.
Gotta keep these chumps on their toes.

were was this last season? PELICANS BUM!
Tremendo pecho frío el Lillard para arriesgarse a meter un triple desde tan lejos cuando podía meter un doble y ganaban, pero no me quejo porque nos regalo una hermosa jugada que no se me olvidara en mucho tiempo
I feel like Giannis coulda dunked that he spared him live like mj spared magic
He should have just killed em
Giannes' move is very satisfying to watch. 👌
Logo winning buzzer beater Lez go Lilard
My favorite play from this year was when Houston got eliminated, and didn't have any excuses left to use. Close second was Lillards damn near half court tie breaker and waving goodbye to OKC.
4:20 you can hear someone saying " oh my goodness" who else heard that?
*Lillard: Now Who’s The Baby Now Hell Boy?*
Damian Lillard literally out on mamba mantality.
Lillard 👏👏👏
Kanter found a 100x better older brother in POR 😊
That 3 was so classic
They should’ve put the whole 31 point comeback of the clippers.
DAME TIME!
Imagine if Kevin Durant, James harden and Russell westbrook were teammates once upon a team, imagine if they were drafted on the same team, they would never be traded
And that layup wow!!
Safe to say that after LeBron steps down, Gianni's gonna be the face of the league and it's definitely a good replacement
Him with Simmons, Doncic, Michel, Young, and Embid, the league is looking exciting.
@@puppymonkeybaby3692 yall just forgot kd is the best player in the world right?
Curry and James harden?
@@austinroberts2232 HAHAHA good joke dude
This playoffs are so entertaining!! I am rooting for Durant and embiid. Hope they meet in the finals.
everyone Sixers ain’t getting passed the Raptors
That long game winner tho 🏀
Dame became "LEGEND"
6:04 Jamal Murray is like, Yeet no you dont Rudy Gay
This playoffs are no joke
George did not make the right decision to stay in OKC, should have went with Lebron.
1% other player plays
99% Giannis plays
14:45 to see the pacers defense completely collapse in a clutch situation.
Ran out of points and plays
First short awesome
3:54 Rubio playing damn good defense too like wtf. game sliders at 100
11:49 Jimmy's face tho! lol
that giannis shot at the start was serious hang time MJ style......
Can't believe iron man dies
Kawhi ain't no joke! Guard the fuck up Philly!😂😂😂
thon and jarred should hit the gym.
or maybe eat a hamburger
Am I the only one that clicked on this video just to see Lillard's winning three? xD
Miles Turner EXPLoDED.
19:42 is that the MyCareer G League commentator for the Mad ants?
Adam Edwards Yeah lmao
Still having nightmares of that a Lillard shot, he did my team dirty bruh
Thouxanband Swavy subscribeme
What about Giannis' block against the clippers? Can't remember if it was game 3 or 4, but it was nasty.
Human Guardians : go out into the world an do GREAT
Humans : Competition is the Name!
Hustling is the Game!
Lillard 4 MVP
playing style of kumpo is like MJ.. hows that !!! uncrown MVP ^_^
3:39 look at harden 😂😂😂
Such a defense inspiration
19:22 that "yeee" by Capela was different
Bruh...Lou Will put KD on skates😭😭🤧
Harden gets the defense award :)
this mans james harden plays zero defense 😂😂
Harden knows how important is to the Rockets and to the NBA for he is the MVP. A very smart player who doesn't want to be limited by "foul trouble" Harden has a lot of triple doubles playing like that. Rebonding is the way to play defense. Remember Dennis Rodman?
Is it weird to think that this year playoff is REALLY good
Giannis kept cooking thon maker
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home

Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong

Lillard from wwwwaaayyy down town
Why did they cut off Lillard's goodbye wave
Lots of amazement 🎮🎮
4:00 Oh, Harden. How I've missed this side of you.
I liked after the 1st clip
that's funny I couldn't find Lebron on here lol. I thought my tv was broke
Lillard amd Jokic 🔥
0:23 Not sure if Kevin Calabro or Jim Ross LOL
i cant handle giannis like if god made humans he made giannis way too overpowered
moral of the first round: Giannis owns Thon Maker lol
That’s only one series and Dame is Russ dad
i forgot how giannis completely vanquished the pistons
Embiid gets posterised 😏😏
Michel Jordan or Giannis Antetokounpo
Uncle Drew got saucy
Damian Lillard is All-Universe. (I've known that for years)
I was watching the Kyrie shot live
that giannis dunk at 1:32 definitely a travel tho
watch it in .25 speed haha the man traveled to Greece and back
If you needed 0.25 speed to see that go check your eyes
Who's the announcer on Damian Lillard's three-pointer?
That’s the blazers home announcers. Kevin Calabro
@@shineinouzen7412 Also the current NBA on ESPN play-by-play announcer. He was also a former Oklahoma City Thunder radio announcer when they were the Seattle Supersonics.
Giannis has most of these clips
Holy fuck 1:45 I can't stop rewatching Turner getting that big height
Go Nuggets!!
5:52 Jamal Murray was not playing
I hope thats sarcasm
