Lol right. Some of the fans already had their heads down on the first bounce and you could see embiid smiling. A roller coaster of emotions in a span of seconds
I feel this is kind of a glimpse at what is would have looked like if Hakeem Olajwon and Jordan played in the same conference. Only because Kawhi plays most like Jordan in this league currently and Embiid plays most like Olajwon.
Their best moment in raptors history in his first year lol i don’t think anything Toronto sports have done in the past can be more meaningful and impactful as that shot to win the entire series in game 7
As a Raptors fan I wasn’t impressed at all because the game was tied.. if the Raptors were down 1 that shot would have rolled out 100% because they are the Raptors. So that would would have been a story book ending if he made the shot when they were down 1 but that wasn’t the reality.
I was mad as a Boston fan. I told all my friends Sixers were winning that year. Harris was top 5 SF in the league aswell. JJ top 3 Shooters. Team was deep.
Come on now. MJs game winner over Ehlo is functionally equivalent to one. That whole Game "7" thing is just a technicality. Sure it was technically a Game 5 in MJs case but it was a win or go home situation. Had he missed the shot the series wouldve been over and they wouldve been eliminated.
PimpMyPeon it was an elimination game and they were down by one. But who cares this is just Awesome 😎.WOW. The 2nd greatest game winner of all time . This is just crazy
This shot is a testament to Kawhi's incredible work ethic. At 7:06 the glance at the rim and slight head-fake that gets Joel off his feet is what gives him the space to get the shot off. It's perfectly timed under intense pressure. Only hundreds if not thousands of reps get that result. Basketball as art.
VERY TRUE...made MANY timely plays and was scrappy throughout the game. He gets dogged a lot rightfully so but he definitely came up big in this important game
The sixers would have had a chance if Embiid’s clumsy behind didn’t get in the way of their best defender. Kawhi doesn’t get that shot off against Simmons, but Embiid’s need to play hero and lack of awareness cost them the game.
Is it the hardest shot ever made no most important shot ever made no. But the history this shot made will make it forever the greatest shot ever. It could have happened 20 years prior but Vince missed vs the exact same team it was poetic justice for the pain and suffering raptors fans have had for decades.
Top 5 players in this year playoffs Not in order 1. Giannis Atekoumpo 2. Kawhi Leonard 3. Damian Lillard 4. Nikola Jokic 5. Kevin Durant Do you agree or disagree
"NOOOW MR SHARPE, it's finally my time to bring a little perspective and objectivity for all the prisoners of the moment who are throwing a parade for what was the luckiest shot in all NBA history, and it saved that guy's legacy for whatever it is worth !!! Had he missed that one he would've shot himself out of canada that same night..! I'm not very impressed because, do I need to remind America that it took 3 consecutive uncharacteristic empty possessions by the sixers who really tried hard to lose that game and hand it on a silver platter to the as you call them, the baby dinosaurs, who were melting down like the sorry losers they're accustomed to be, And it took the hopes of an entire country to force and will that ball through the hoop. It didn't go in with conviction like Michael did it against Ehlo. Sorry, not impressed"
He only shows emotions if its something he has never felt before.. finals 2014 and now.. this guy has always been looked over and I hope he would finally get the light he deserves as much as other super stars in the league have had for the past years.. Kawhi Leonard a name to remember.. as a current great
Imo, it’s the greatest shot of all time. And this is coming from a Lakers fan. You could argue that several Kobe shots were better, but I don’t think any shot by Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, or anyone else was as good as this. I’m already a huge fan of Leonard (same college.) The Raptors’ fan base is so deserving of this, and it was just so exciting to watch.
Kawhi was Jordanesque on this Game 7. Reminds me of Game 6 vs Utah 98 where he just carried them to the win. That was a very stacked Sixers team since Moses Malone, Irving, Barkley, Cheeks etc and Kawhi just showed Jimmy and the Sixers - there are levels to this. Awesome
I remember this shot like it was yesterday Right after seeing this i headed on a plane to my grandma's funeral Toronto being my favorite team bring my spirits up seeing them when and even more later that year when they won the championship rip grandpa tony
VoltRyan chatting with Mr. Leonard were you? Kawhi is tight lipped and hasn’t said anything to anyone other than those close to him. Are you close to Kawhi?
I thought Kawhi made an interesting comment during his game ending interview with TNT. He specifically mentioned how difficult last year was andand was praying everyday for things to turn around. "God is good" were his exact words. Given the dramatic turnaround in his life, and just seeing what kind of humble man he is, I feel like he will stay with Toronto.
WOW!! That's it, that shot made me a believer. I think that was a "Shot of Destiny" for the Raptors. Raptors are going to go all the way this season and be the first non-American franchise to win an NBA title. With that shot, Kawhi just gave the rest of the Raptors all the confidence and good luck they need in the world in order to win an NBA title.
No, that's LeBron. Kawhi is a great player, especially when it comes to being an All Rounder. But he's not a Passer like Bron, he could probably Score like Bron, and maybe get Rebounds the same too. But Kawhi isn't the best All Around Player, that's LeBron James. I do think he's a quick Second though, especially since he's an Amazing 2-Way
No need to bring VC into this really. As the comments above mention, VC truely put Toronto on the map, remember this was a new franchise which was really struggling to get people to watch the games, both in the stadium or on tele. VC changed that single handedly. Also, the fact that a very, very young Tmac and a streetballing Rafer Alston were the best players he ever had on his team somewhat excuses his playoff failures imo. At least that's the only player I remember positively from that period besides VC. Negative is a bit easier, Olowokandi, old Jalen Rose, old Oakley, old Mugsey Bogues, old Hakeem, ... those are the only recognizable names really, and as mentioned they were OLD when they arrived at TOR.
Yeah it was great, but hockey has these dramatic endings all the time. Just happened a few days ago, St, Louis beat Dallas in Game 7 OT. Ask Barkley....he knows what's up.
"Something about Joel Embiid" When Eibiid was crying as he walked in the corridor after the game, it reminded me of the movie "Something about Mary" when Ted was walking away after losing Mary sobbing (sadly).

when kawhi missed that last freethrow. he was seeing spurs vs heat once again. look at how he hustled back on defense. when butler scooped that lay up. leonard took it upon himself that heat and spurs wont happen to him again..
Andrew Liu He’s talking about Ginobli’s drive in ot, but you can’t call that in the final seconds of a game. Wasn’t a bad enough foul to warrant a fall in the final seconds
7:12 ..never seen emotion from Kawhi like that..maybe when he got the finals mvp trophy, but this one was real. all he's been thru, the injury, the spurs betrayal..Kawhi is a loyal dude, & when you go mute, people fill in the blank with their own assumptions..how gratifying this must be for him..& all the money he's gonna earn in max contract, for ballin' out when it counts, good for him. bless. now he should make fun of his own laugh, turn it into a meme, go viral, even more endorsements.

That was a historical shot that will live forever.
Spurs fan who wishes we still had Kawhi
Tbh I can only imagine how far we could've got with Kawhi, maybe even met up with the warriors again..
@Don Jon ☮🙏
But Kawhi was Booed hard by Spurs fans back in San Antonio
@@lovejalo1978 that was just fans being fans. It's like the "You were the chosen one!" moment.
i blame his uncle 😭
7:22 that is so haunting, it will always play in my head when Kawhi made highlights
(Kawhi Leonard) is a elite level (NBA) Basketball superstar that can dominate any basketball game 🏀 with his winning attitude. 👍
This shot put him in the hall of fame.. If he doesnt win again and retires.. His hall of fame video package will be centered around this shot.
