No. I am, uh, not lying about that attended tag right above me. I was 17 when this game happened, my parents were big 76ers fans, and my aunt and uncle were Raptors fans. The day before this game, my aunt and uncle came over and told us to start packing because they had gotten tickets in Game 7. So we packed for a couple days, got a last-minute flight, and was on our way to Toronto. Toronto was an interesting experience. We got a hotel just 4 hours before the game and left with 2 to go. As you could expect, Toronto was PACKED. This might have been the hypest stadium I had ever been to. Sitting near the nosebleeds roughly looking at Kwahi Leonard from a 20 degree angle... boing.

End of Regulation. Final. The result is so crazy the network didn’t even know how to process it, that’s who Kawhi is. Kawhi is forever a goat, hit him with a triple guard? Dagger. Following, he came home. The whole playoff run was incredible, but there is always a peak.

Incredible game to end one of the best playoff series ever. One of my personal greatest memories is watching this game, in the basement, with my dad. My dad doesn’t watch basketball, he played it a lot in his youth, but he doesn’t watch today. For reference, he had never heard of Kawhi Leonard before 2019. I actually attended game 1 of this series and the atmosphere was insane. That vibe was cranked up to 1000 for game 7, the feeling of anxious hope. Throughout the first half as Toronto’s defense was playing excellent, shutting down Philly’s offense, but outside of Kawhi, we were also struggling. The Raptors couldn’t pull away. Entering the 4th, we needed Kawhi to take over, which is exactly what he did. Unfortunately, the 76ers figured it out too. When Siakam put us up 4, I thought we had it, but when Butler tied it up, I got a sinking feeling. Then, the board man did what he did that entire season, COME UP CLUTCH. A few bounces later and my dad and I sounded like the TnT commentators

Absolutely insane. Maybe the greatest, most suspenseful buzzer beater in basketball history. Kawhi squatting in the corner just waiting to see if it would go in. And after 3 seconds, the shot finally fell. After this wild victory, the Raptors would go on to win the NBA Finals. Kawhi Leonard’s most legendary moment in a legendary career.

I remember watching this game on my laptop when I was 16 years old. This series had absolutely everything you can ask for, and I truly believe that if the 6ers were to win they would have gone all the way. Gasol was playing his ass off, limiting embiid with kawhi, lowry, and siakam leading the charge. I was pretty confident that we would have been fine had the game gone to overtime, afterall there hasnt been a game 7 gamewinner in nba history….. of course until kawhi shot a PRAYER with every bounce feeling like an eternity until the ball finally went in. Iconic, championship run defining moment, and I am so happy to have watched it live man. Younger man was going absolute nuts i can tell you that LOL

What I love about this moment more than anything is listening to the calls in different languages from around the world. The Korean broadcast is my favorite “LEY LO LEYYYYYYYYYYY!” I didn’t realize until today on RateGame Live that Jeremy Lin had a front row seat to this moment. Extra special because the Linsanity tour had a stop in Scotiabank. This series was absolutely bonkers. Crying Embiid and emotional Kawhi. Cinema? Absolutely.

Oh man!
I remember watching this game on the seven seas. I think I recall being worried for the Raps throughout the 2nd half of the game.
After Kahwi made the shot heard and seen across Canada I think I replayed the video of the shot at least 30 times the following week. It was insane in Toronto at the time and I was a Raptors bandwagoner the rest of their playoff run.
A moment in Canadian sports history.

Idk how I missed this one but this games impact has had some large consequences on the league. I feel like we all of the bounces around that hoop represent the way in which the 76ers would go onto change there orginization in the coming years. After this moment they would get rid of Jimmy leading him to go to the Heat and lead them to 2 finals in some of the greatest preformance in recent memory. The 76ers would never reach this peak again getting rid of a lot of the depth and continueing to retool and rework the lineup time and time again. "The Process" was a couple of bounces away from working and instead fans of the 76ers look back only to think what if. For the Raptors this would be there only year of a Kawhi title run. It would change his legacy and the legacy left behind by the franchise in general. Them winning also could be argued was the final nail in the coffin for the KD Warriors as the team with all of there injuries began to truly come apart. The legacy of those bounces!!!
