That was one of the best constructed teams top to bottom of the modern era. Absolutely ridiculous bench, probably the deepest bench of all time when you factor in that OG was hurt for the ENTIRE PLAYOFFS, it just makes it more impressive. The other thing is that Toronto went 6-2 against Golden State that year (Regular season and Finals) which is a record I don’t believe any team ever had against the Warriors in their golden 4 championships era. If Gasol, Lowry, Kawhi and Siakam all go on to make the Hall of Fame, the appreciation Toronto will get for this chip will go up ten fold. KD getting hurt shouldn’t be held against the Raptors, just look at the path they had to go through to even get the Finals. The Sixers and Bucks were absolutely LOADED and in their prime, this wasn’t a pathetic East in 2019. This title was earned and was the product of careful roster construction over the decade of the 2010’s, before pulling the trigger to get Kawhi and put them over the top.
Let's not forget coming into the series everyone was saying kd wasn't needed for the warrriors to win , only changed after they were getting rocked
We didn't have any Free Agents on that team either. Every player was drafted or traded for.
This years Celtics would beat that Raptors team.
@washedupwarvet2027 don't think so to be honest. That Raps team was to deep and had really good D. The Celtics had arguably the easiest path to a championship in the last 10 years. I'm not taking away that there a good team buy who did they beat 🤔. Raps beat 3 teams (76ers , Bucks , Warriors ) who could have taken the championship that season.
76ers had Buttler Embid Simmons
Bucks had Giannias , Middleton and a great team of shooters.
Warriors were the Warriors and every team had a MVP
Lowry is not going to be a hall of famer, Marc Gasol I don’t think so either (I’m spanish and I would love that), and Siakam doesn’t look HOF to me either.
It’s cool to see Draymond talk about the Raptors with so much respect and interest. Never saw this coming.
Big ups to draymond for recognizing how good the raptors were. No espn analyst ever or would ever say this or mention the raptors at all
Nurse would still be in Toronto if Kawhi stayed.
Possibly dumbest move a star has ever made. Had he of stayed theyd of been in contention for some years. He’d be getting a hell of a lot more winning done than with Clippers I’ll tell u that. He’d also get he’ll of lot more praise.
kawhi leaving the raps to go to the clippers for all that money, expectations, and that clippers roster is looking like the worst move by a player in the history of free agency.
He could've stayed one more year in Toronto and still went to the clippers
Should have stayed 5yrs and won 2-3 more chips and 2-3 more FMVPs to be ranked up there with Michael Jordan and Lebron. Then move to Clippers or Lakers around this time.
@@akendon7260 that would not hv happened at all.

The dude took life comforts over a potential basketball Legacy. . That's all there is to it
It was disrespectful to Toronto.
I really feel like they could have won back to back if he stayed there
Facts. 3019 raptors had amazing balance.
Doubt it !! Guy has had injury after injury since then and not their fault GS had injuries because you play who you play but if Klay and KD don't get hurt I really doubt they would have won
@@ericfleming347 considering the year after it was the heat and lakers in finals , I have no doubt in my mind the 2019 raptors would mop the heat but I also think they stand a fair chance against those 2020 lakers in the finals
@@ericfleming347 what do you think ?
@@JamesPawk07 such a well balanced team
Idc kawhi will forever be a fool for leaving that team, they could’ve easily beat the bubble lakers n went back to back. East was so wide open mfing Miami made the finals twice in a 3 yr span as a 5th seed and 8th seed
Can’t fault a guy for wanting to be in his hometown.
He earned the right to do whatever
@@8ballP that’s true but he chose pride over continuity, didn’t appreciate what he had in Toronto then went to LA and hasn’t reached the Con finals in 5 yrs, it’s been a fail even he’d prob admit it
Bro a fool for moving back to his country
@@martrellvabeach5437 he a fool for throwing away a potential dynasty, you think if he went back in time and saw the future he’d make the same decision to leave?
Kawhi was healthy in 2020 playing in the bubble so for sure Raps could've won it again. Can't say for 2021 and beyond....as he was hurt often but yeah, just one more year(2020) would've been nice...such a shame
Draymond “Absolutely Incredible” Green 😂
😂😂😂
lmao
With the team the Raptors had and the way the city embraced him he really should have stayed the one extra year and gotten the repeat. One year would have been easy for him. Look how going home worked out for him. It’s a decision I’ll never understand.
I think that time could have had a 3 peat. Bubble Lakers and Heat, 2021 Suns and Bucks werent stacked like the Raptors were. Raptors were really good defensively too
Did Nurse ask him: Leonard... Ka-WHY!!?? 😢😭
😂😂😂
When kawhi was on ibakas cooking show serge asked him if he was gonna stay, kawhis reaction answered that question
Kawait was already going to be the man of Toronto, had he stayed he wouldve been a legend. Mr. TORONTO to say the least, the offers from business owners around the city for him to stay probably easily balance out income. Too bad, hes always a great but his career and status wouldve been crazy had he stayed. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
Awesome interview
Kawhi not wanting to go in? Unbelievable. ;)
I wonder why he was always injured, he’s usually always in shape too
@@inder1049Bad Knees
Kawhi is Brandon Roy 2.0. Medical procedures and whatnot will let him kinda play. Spurs had it right. It's a debilitating condition, manageable
Kawhi playing for toronto is the greatest one year rental in the history of sports
Draymond has really hit the ground running on this. His show is top notch. I had to subscribe! That is really crazy b/c I haven't approved of a lot of his actions one bit.
That team was stacked. They could have potentially won 3 in a row although with the pandemic who knows. But without Kawhi the Raptors were about a minute away from knocking off the C's in the 2nd round in 2020. They had a Heat team that was beatable in the ECF and they owned the Lakers that year. Gotta figure with Kawhi they at least repeated.
i’m surprised by raymond’s composure, he’s not trying to kill nick nurse through the screen and sucker punch him! wow!
I was thinking the same thing
90 secs of promos in a 7 min clip is wild
content to ad ratio intolerable
That team was stacked with DPOY
Only 73% of this video is content related to the title. Draymond, it’s too much advertisement for a 7 min video. My ADHD has me wanting to click away to some other clickbait sports clip showing at the bottom of my screen.
Nick Nurse a die hard Prince fan?
Even better, it was his rookie season as an nba head coach
The reality is Toronto is an awful place to live. Combine that with insane taxes, and awful infrastructure and it’s shocking to me that anyone even lives there.
The only people that live here now are recent immigrants or people with no Canadian heritage. Non Canadians would be shocked to see what Toronto looks like irl compared to the funny little Canadian stereotypes they get from the media
Draymond can barely read the ad. Guy needs to ensure he has attorneys and accountants on his side. Would be an easy guy to rip off
Well difference is Kawhi values family over free handouts
Off topic, if anyone watched locked on warriors RUclips channel with Cyrus, he's now moved over to The Golden Daze podcast, give him a sub 🤝🏼 great fun with informative content.
Oh well. 5 years later it just shows what a dumb move it was to leave 😂
...you mean leave San Antonio, right? ;)
Still a hall of famer either way
plus a Lucky Charm Jeremy Lin ;)
If he stays, and remains somewhat healthy; TO gets to at least one more final and likely two. They woulda named a province after him lol. Instead he's sputtering away in LA...
@@MrLifeUnderTheScope
Don’t be a 🤡. Toronto is know as one of the best cities in the world
Bro that was not happening at all.
That ad is too long!
Hi Draymond, please tell Klay to stay a warrior. ❤
Elimination game 0-10
@@marcosmarquez15384 rings
Kawhi should have stayed and if you asked him that he would admit to it. The team could have been a dynamic team in the east.
Kawhi hit the luckiest shot I've ever seen on that run to beat the team Nurse is repping in the video... That ball bounced so many times, that when it went in it felt like it was their destiny to go all the way. It still took KD and Klay going down.
I wonder what a second year, with the confidence of winning it all, and having played together a whole season, would've looked like.
Still would have beaten GS with those two guys.
They had a 15 game winning streak the season after Kawhi left, with him they would have went back to back.
TO was up 3 - 1 with Klay playing wtf you talking about lol
Kawhi will forever be a goat in Toronto idc if he wanted to do was go home, I can’t fault him for that
I knew neither team was going to win after he left. We needed him to be a championship level team and of all teams he went to the Clippers 🤣
The draymont ad show
Kawhi is fucking diva lol Kawhi reminds me of the episode in fresh prince of Bel Air playing basketball 🏀
Kawhi is not a diva...wtf
Galing
Kawahi probably.watching this and he was best playernin world at the time and thinking dam i traded all the success in world for la for few years. He regrets it. Lesson is when you got everything and you throw it away thinking you will get more your will have nothing
A win is a win and a champ is a champ for life.
Kawhi won’t win with the Clippers, coulda won another ring with the Raptors
I knew kawhi was leaving day 1 even if it ended the way it did
Toronto curse they all got it
Kawhi should’ve stayed for one more year and run it back.
since kawhi left the raptors he change totally….he played with the raps all throughout the playoffs..he is the only superstar but with a good lineup masai did the won thechip..but with paul george on his side and the reason he leave toronto, the clippers are still not a contender..
And now Paul George is gone.
It is weird to think they kawhi played 100% for the raptors. That’s why I thought he could stay. Because he was giving it his all. His knee was bothering him in the playoffs too.
@@tipsy09 Keep in mind, he had to be on his best behaviour going into free agency. It's classic Erick Dampier settings.
He should've signed a 1+1, not sure why he'd jet after winning it all... Smart basketball player but not so smart off the court. At least try to run it back once, 2020 was wide open
Maybe kawhi is cursed for almost whole toronto wanted him to stay😢
Winning is not that important to Kawhi.
Oh please
Now that’s a ridiculous statement 😂
After kawhi, raptors are in slump😢
Does he sucker punch his guests?
Hopefully not 😅
Just all the Canada side jobs he can get would be crazy already
Kawhi kawhi kawhi 😢
Kawhi left because pg dont want to join him in toronto
Nurse plays his stars to the ground. FYI Nurse didn’t coach Kawhi, instead Kawhi coached Nurse. Let’s tell the truth here.
Oh you mean the worst move in sports history? Kawhi is a bum
Kawhi would have at least 1 more ring maybe even 2 if he stayed. Absolutely worst move a star has ever done
Nope
His career is not done yet.
@@MarkLaw13your right it’s feneto 😂
@@twixxcoke5940 laugh now cry later
@@DanteGoldz yes it’s not even debatable
Bruh kawahi is dumb. Raps would have beat the Celtics in the bubble . Look at him now 😂
Hi green how are you doing
you didnt know anything and you still dont
The dummy could have won more with the Raptors
Draymond has a face for radio.
People can say what they want ...at the end if the day he didnt wanna go there, he over achieved AND GOT THEIR ONLY RING !! HES FROM MORENO VALLEY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THATS WHERE HE WANTED TO GO , CANT BLAME.HIM ...HIS ACL AND MENISCUS BEING TORN ON BACK TO BACK YEARS IS VERY UNLUCKY , HES A COMPETITOR AND TOP 3 WHEN HEALTHY 🤷♂️
Never forget what Danny Green did to Klay Thompson. Never forgive.
Its was an accident. Shit happens and stop whining
What did he do?
@@michaeladams5636 Danny Green intentionally charged at Klay Thompson while Klay was going for an open layup. Danny charged him so hard, Klay had to land awkwardly on one leg- which led to Klay tearing his ACL.
@@sxlx I was watching the series and I don’t recall Danny Green doing that. Like the one person replied already it was Klay’s fault and stop whining.
Hyper Ice is a terrible name tbh. I first read it as Hype Rice.
It is a possibility that you are a terrible reader. As KG once proclaimed: Nothing is impossible.
@@wilseph1 I can't argue with stupidity....whatever makes you happy.
one trick pony. Canada could care less about NBA or Raptors. nhl and CFL are the 2 biggest leagues.
Warriors might have won it if they knew how to beat Raptors and executed it. And then if someone coupd shut down Fred. Warriors didnt have any answers and Raptors were so scared to lose still that they took out Klay just in case...
If Klay and Steph went off for 3 games then it might have been done so Raptors had to take out Klay. NBA peoples was ok with it...
Raptors winning a championship is like Drake becoming a rap star.
Good enough in skills... but crude culturally.
Kahwi just wanted to get back at Warriors and knew Canada was willing to do whatever it takes to gain some basketball respect. He might have not wanted to win like that if possible but he also can't blame himself for Canada being crude.
Raptors traded away DeRozan to win a championship and they couldn't be known for disloyalty just to lose so they had to make sure to get rid of Warriors threats.
Who would stay in Toronto and he’s originally from USA. Vince was drafted there but who in America wants to come away from home and be away in Canada 🇨🇦 nobody wants to leave there home. You will be home sick. You want to go home.
But regrets his decision and the way he provoqued his trade.
So whys jokic and luka here? Why isnt shai wiggins and jamal home?
That’s not a well informed comment.
Tired of this whole narrative just cuz I'm Canadian I have to be a fan of the Toronto Raptors cuz they're a Canadian team?? Imma cheer for Canada in the Olympics not a team of a league
He wanted to go back home. Imagine if every athlete in every sport only wanted to play in their home town. Ridiculous reason. The guy wants to leave, fine. I want to go home, feeble excuse
and he was only 28..coulda gone home a couple years later
