Northern Uprising (Full Documentary)

the Cavaliers complete the sweep it's on to the Eastern Conference Finals from a fourth straight year another lopsided showing against the Raptors [Music] [Music] so today is not a good day for the Toronto Raptors what happens is that if you LeBron James and you're coming at certain dudes particularly that team what happens is they shrink beneath it all they can't take it they all of a sudden get tightened and the things that they normally do with fluidity with cohesiveness and beyond suddenly they can't do it because they're going up against Ernie remember I said as I would never say a team has to win a game one but the Toronto Raptors Hathaway in Game one they would feel shell-shocked in Game two because they got beat down in Game two and then they tried to throw some pride in Game three and then they quit again tonight and you get a team in the Raptors who quit that's what it adds up to Ron plus one all-star you know versus a team that did not show mental toughness you know the martyr rose and played horrible defense tonight him and Kyle our both least Kyle played with heart and was solid for a lot of the series but can't really say the same for rosin but I've told you this Toronto was I told my man enough to admit I said this is not just you said this is the same wherever I said no it's not they're new and improved but you know what hey you got to be man enough to admit we were wrong and I was 100% we're all in one of Raptors I mean we didn't know if we could we didn't know dominating performance from LeBron James has people going wild on social media Michael is here Michael stirap yo social media you're seeing people reacting to as you say that Dominik performance last night take a look at this Heather and if you wondered what happened to the dinosaurs the first time around when you talk about LeBron owning Toronto well the Toronto sign in front of City Hall but don't worry this is not real Heather [Music] spittin image last year they robbed your fence you see Drake leave the game of the third quarter the Cavs turned rapper Drake into the Degrassi Drake I mean did you see their Stadium in the fourth quarter it looked like someone dispersed tear gas essentially tear gas and watching the raptors both make your eyes cry get them out of here Toronto Raptors you're done this core group has been together for a few years now they cannot get it done when it matters most is it time to blow this team up yes it is it's time to blow the team up and I think Messiah should we he knows this but at the end of the day I'm a basketball guy and I want to put a product out there that's going to compete one day for a championship and sometimes it's gonna be tough sometimes it's gonna be hard but overall guys I think we're in a good place I don't care what people say about to run or Canada all that stuff it's a beautiful place here it's a beaut beautiful they have beautiful fans they have great fans here and so it's left to us to do our job it's going to take patience it's going to take will we're going instill passion a passion to win guys the overall goal in the MBA is to win a championship that has to be on the overall goal is not playoffs it's not it's to win a championship at the end [Music] yeah [Music] I'm gonna keep it on track the burgers of the chose now I suppose the little black boy grows 18 years younger than my mama but I really got babies with a girl love drama in single parenthood there I stood by the time she was 21 had another boy this one is a girl let's name her Pam Saint Barbara's the bush but you don't give a damn here responsible clean not bacon I said Jill but the brother keep winking chili won't dare you interrupt your hide on your side while the baby make a slide oh my god watch the game the young mr.

keep rock hit me not respect you with the reminisce over you listen [Music] everybody [Music] are you here unbelievable respect and must respect to these fans to this country this is unbelievable I've never been a part of something like this in my 13-year career [Applause] I can't pull the culture reset off this year again I I look I have to look at a body of work as a leader I have to look up the body of work that has been done over the last five years and think was the last five years that was the next five years ahead and that's what I have to do that's what I'm going to do yes there are witnesses and yes they are strength the Toronto Raptors have fired head coach Dwayne Casey he coached the Raptors for seven seasons and led the team to five straight playoff appearances two straight to sweep sweeps at the hands of the cab and not JIT that they lost the cap this year but in the manner with which they lost we my instant reaction is that it's BS I don't think he deserved it because he lost to the best player in the world now it doesn't help that he got swept yesterday been a very awkward moment I told you this is the moment you Wayne Casey it was now the head coach of the Detroit Pistons was named the NBA's coach of the year for coaching the Toronto Raptors you know when you get fired which I did recently I don't know if you knew that or not after winning coach of the year in some ways I think the time has come you know like sometimes you know like these things come to an end relationships come to an end and we'll figure out a way to move on new voice just knew everything the Toronto Raptors have found their man promoting assisted Nick nurse to become the franchise's next head coach according to USPS the coaching journey a former Uni Panther Nick nurse has spanned 26 years on the bench it started as a student assistant on the 1989-90 men's basketball team led by Eldon Miller this summer he became a head coach in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors after serving five years as an assistant we've got to be trying to think of what's coming next before it comes next if you want to stay ahead of the game and and you know tried to bring some of that I've tried to make steps in my career to continually learn his moves through Europe and the G League were always about finding something new he could apply to his basketball principles [Music] probably my favorite one as a coach was when we won the d-league championship at Iowa that was such a unique situation of they kind of they kind of started that team and they said to me they said you do the basketball we don't do you you pick the players do the trades do the draft just don't bother us we got a business to run here you you do this so it was me and another guy and we spent literally it wasn't 24 hours a day but it felt like 24 hours a day side by side finally after four years won that thing and and I just remember kind of it was at home and the place was going crazy and everybody know the clock is ticking down and I kind of sat there and tapped him and said let's let the clock tick down a little further but this is really cool you know we get we did it you know after all this hard work so that's that's probably the biggest one so far coach nurse is pretty cool calm and collected isn't he I think there's performance pressure on the athletes but there's absolutely performance pressure on the coaches if you fire the coach of the year in the NBA and Dwayne Casey a man highly respected with an NBA championship pedigree in Dallas you better get out of the gate strong big day for the Toronto Raptors see me they have a new head coach joining us now is Masai Ujiri Masai forgive me for the following question I feel like I do have to ask and however not long after the sweep and I'm sure you're aware of some of this there was a lot of speculation as to what this roster might look like by opening night next season and a dream or Janowski some other guys in the media have said that there was no one off the table for you as a soft season progresses when you hear that what's your initial reaction you know the NBA is a crazy world you know like I mean you never say never with anything to mean this in this league black man my sweat trap don't stab this land it's like tableau snuck in town so many young boys plus a nice some rubbish a busy summer black man my thoughts we're trapped on staff its land it's like taboo stuck in time so many young boys drops a nice soft rubber bit [Music] let me solve it fast wonderful [ __ ] I posted in the past the poison plays in these drought days housing cops and he found ways of walking through a wild names hole in my brain trying to maintain flee helps Noah vein I guess the game and never change Kawhi Leonard is known for a lot of amazing things but I think what he's known for most is not being known nobody ever knows what he's thinking he doesn't really talk that much many fans are not aware of the challenges he is faced to get to where he is today to truly understand Kawhi Leonard we must first understand where he came from born in Riverside California on January 29th 1991 two divorced parents mark Leonard and Kim Robertson mark Leonard was not just his dad but also his best friend and role model since the time the two spent together was limited due to his parents divorce the duo was spend most of Lehner's childhood at his father's popular car wash located in Compton on Friday January 18 2008 just 24 hours before an upcoming game his father was shot to death with his father's death in mind Kawhi Leonard knew he had to push forward in the midst of the tragedy Leonard turns to basketball as his distraction and mission and six years later after the tragic event Kawhi Leonard won the NBA Finals and the Finals MVP this is why the NBA Finals win was so special to his family the Spurs closed out the heat in Game five On June 15 2014 which was Father's Day this is just a perfect example of not judging a book by it's cover just because somebody is quiet and laid-back you might look at him and think they're weird crazy whatever but you don't know what just happened in their life you don't know what they're currently going through or what they've been through overall as solid and discreet as he is off the NBA floor Kawhi Leonard is thought of as one of the most mysterious and unemotional players in the whole jaelyn what's going on here I hate to say this into a microphone but I'm gonna television show that people actually watch so I want to say this I hate to say this Kawhi Leonard once out of San Antonio is what I'm here Kawhi Leonard has missed all the nine games this season because of right quadriceps tendon Appa the-- this entire season has created a lot of tension between the organization and Kawhi Leonard and his camp this has been as out of a situation as the Spurs have faced the way his injury situation was handled was he misdiagnosed League sources telling a dream or Janowski that Kawhi would like to come back to his native Los Angeles there's been some chatter maybe the Raptors could get involved in the quiet of the oil saves you in here we've been talking about it on podcast Las Vegas now has even odds of Kawhi Leonard staying with the San Antonio Spurs or joining the Toronto Raptors I find this curious I don't really see this happening happens now DeMar DeRozan has deleted from this Instagram pay me there's no way I'm giving up the DeRozan a noona B Perl any of those guys with no assurances that Kawhi is gonna stay with me beyond the year that I haven't the proverbial team that they could do what Oklahoma City did last year with Paul George which is just saying you know what this makes sense for us to just gamble and take the risk let's do it the day after baseball's all-star game traditionally yeah one of the quietest on the sports calendar today not so much not so much for am flurry of activity in the newsroom that's what we had let's get right to the breaking news and for that we bring in our NBA insider agent Ward Janowski woge tell us what you know about Kawhi Leonard at this hour David Toronto is finalizing a deal with San Antonio to acquire Kawhi Leonard DeMar DeRozan and more would go from Toronto to the spur well I was told that Kawhi Leonard really has no desire to play in Toronto his preferences that was the play for one of the teams in Los Angeles Kawhi is not gonna be happy because he may be going to Toronto which I believe is the exact opposite of Los Angeles yeah my initial reaction was Toronto won because even though they only get Kawhi Leonard for a year maybe even though they know he's going to look like just yeah you didn't express a lack of interest or not playing Canada to me I think the Spurs are going home high five and Ryan I can't hit it again I think they can't believe they got this deal we've been doing this for how many years you know you can't continue doing the same thing over and over again and when you get a chance to get a top five player which it doesn't come very often you have to I think you have to jump on it and I have a mandate to win and that's what I want to do is to win to win a championship put around the Raptors in a position to win but I really do acknowledge there is no measurement for what DeMar DeRozan has done for this organization [Music] the Toronto Raptor is select demar derozan the kid from Compton the tough part of Los Angeles quickly became a fan favorite on and off the court from hospitals to classrooms important for him to be part of the community especially this literacy program that DeRozan sought out to be part of when he signed his new contract two years ago DeRozan made it clear he wanted his entire career to be with the Raptors you know my whole goal when I first got here was to make this whole city in his whole country be known but that goal came to a screeching halt Wednesday morning DeRozan seemingly blindsided by it all writing on Instagram ain't no loyalty in this game crush I've talked to people who know him today and he's just he's devastated by it because he really wanted to spend a 20-year career playing in Toronto Raptors president Mizzou Giri has not been afraid to make changes after playoff disappointment but this trading away a player so deeply loved in this city will sting for a while Devon Haru CBC News Toronto and who is Leonard well on the one hand he's thought to be among the best players in the world when he's healthy but his health is why some analysts are saying the Raptors are taking the biggest gamble in their history and then there are questions about where he really wants to play [Music] a lot of people up here don't know much about you can you how would you describe yourself and what would you like people to know about you I'm a fun guy obviously I love the game of basketball I mean it's just more question you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself I just can't give you a whole spiel I don't even know where you said Natalie what was your initial thoughts when you heard you'd been traded to Toronto um excited knowing I'm coming to a great city that loves basketball great organization and happy that Danny was coming with me as well so yeah Danny Green here I'm in Toronto finally with the Raptors getting settled in check out the new place it was early in the morning I got a phone call from pop I got a phone call from a lot of people but pop was the one that I returned first and he told me it was a trade I could see it adding up with all the people that were being signed and people really drafted if they had to show you quiet is probably one person in that deal probably gonna be me weird day for me because it seems on Saturday San Antonio but I'm excited to be in Toronto I know how fun it is and they're a good team and they're in the East I said as I was leaving saying something I was still very excited for you know new chapter starting in Toronto past seven eight years in San Antonio did a year in Cleveland playing the d-league which is now the jeely played overseas in Slovenia I've been a little bit everywhere right now dad's an adjustment for the Canadian like last couple years in San Antonio we've had a very mature group I won't call them old but um we had some older guys which no experience but it was a different role for me being the vet in the locker room and the oldest guy was like me Kyle CJ we're only we're not young 30s but I'm excited to play with you know a younger group of guys getting up and down you know a faster pace I feel great the team feels great I think it's not about me it's about these guys it's about basketball summer was crazy but you know what now is basketball and more excited I think there actually is a lot of pressure on these Toronto Raptors from the coaching staff to the front office to the players because it's about the recruitment of co-op in maasai recognized listen we have an incredible culture here we have a remarkable city we have a team that has a chance to compete for a championship we have to capitalize on the window of opportunity we have and collide it's exactly the right fit for that team to do that it's a stroke of genius on the part of Messiaen Bobby Webster to take this gamble because they have such a great story to tell hello Canada tangerine Raptors basketball is alive and on the air [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the standing ovation from the rafters crowd cheers throughout the game signs in the audience even some MVP chance thought it was great they got great energy tonight they made us made a good push for us in that fourth quarter we didn't have no energy just about coming out here and

said look I'm working hard I'm not gonna hog with Kevin I want to be MVP you seemed like his team is taken in that role of quiet leadership I like it cuz when I look at them I look at every game what type shots I was getting or how quality is shot are you getting the quality of the shot you're getting their spacing is beautiful and then everybody's wide so when that extra pass goes you have that extra time to load up that shot Buddha Nasser has got those guys with more more pace in the game but much better spacing [Music] there are tough oh you can make a lot of food like that you have all that space to drive and play the Bucks look really good [Music] take their page was great I think they played a good place that they wanted to play tonight dictated in the tempo of the game tonight

left here with my head high and did what I was asked to do and we will stay here for a tribute for the all-time winningest coach in franchise history Dwayne Casey [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we can't believe the distance women and Kasey's return [Applause] Dwayne Casey I just want to leave and something don't feel good she says what you said you took a bit of the Canadian way with you what does that mean Tim Hortons my son loves Timbits and thank God they had ten bits and Tim Hortons in Detroit because he wouldn't be able to survive I know that even though they've had a couple of games a few games this year they should not have lost there's no question about that right now if I had to pick at this particular moment it would be the Toronto Raptors the NBA on TNT is presented by State Farm as the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors two of the top teams in the league the Raptors at in Teaneck for six straight wins I just I've been watching them Nick nurse has been very impressive the combination of height athleticism experience defense and a closer and I'm looking at all of those things and I'm saying to myself you're going to go against to go to state warriors it's going to require all of those things in order to knock the warriors off and I believe that Toronto has it [Applause] persistency but he still does that on both ends of the floor it's getting a nice buck nobody believes in the Toronto Raptors even last year when I was on that bandwagon Shaq end up being ready since I'm not riding with those guys they're not good enough they're different wit Kauai and I like the way to round those Flint but let's not forget last year they had the best record in the Eastern Conference and they let us down on the playoffs I'm not riding until I see them do something - I'm all-in I told you about me all this I like them I'm glad they're different different this year Shaq only because of the versatility come on it's it's totally different different you have two guys in the starting five who are NBA champions who know what it takes to get there they have the experience [Applause] [Applause] goes to the food but what's different about the Raptors this year and this is what happened last night and the and the two guys from San Antonio who have rings showed up Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard and said halt we're gonna stop this nonsense we're gonna win this game [Applause] this Raptors team are going to represent the east in the NBA Finals I got so many two-way players and obviously quite back and playing at MVP level and Kyle our he's a great leader as well as a boat he's a bulldog out there so it's gonna be a great test for us and who knows might be a preview of June but uh they got some really special up there in Canada right now everyone went into that Raptors warriors game talking about how it may be an NBA Finals preview and I get it but come on Golden State was missing two of its best players the East that's far from settled in terms of who's coming out of that hole Toronto Boston Philly Milwaukee rectangle and it's the only November so there's that too yeah Larry struggling struggle in over the last little bit not looking like his usual self the three not ballin some talk of a back injury I don't buy it how do you explain away the last little stretch from perennial all-star that has been underwhelming sometimes I just think he gets into a little bit of a funk and I think he just gets a little bit into his head I thought mental physical or anything happy physical how do you have the season to start to the season that he had at the beginning and then all of a sudden have 15 points in five games I [Music] think you can tie it back to when he sat down with Rachel Nicholas before the Golden State game sure he had the conversation about Masai Ujiri and he said how would you just find your relationship with Messiah Jerry right oh he's the president of advance for operations that's it over here do my job since then he stopped shooting the basketball [Music] you know my first year here he was already kind of better Eric katas oh you know his guys and I was just here like I'm just a new guy I'm just trying to find my way and I'ma be here a couple years I'm out so I ain't gonna make it type I didn't see him outside of work vicinity at ever so what happened what change I don't know I mean but that's all we talked about that's just the beauty of a friendship you know it just happened you know it was just one one of those things and you know he looked up what are you reading we're studying house warriors defensive tactics against King James it wasn't their tactics it was their talent but we have the talent we just need smart strategy and for the guards to finally smile on this Lord Ujiri I pledge that I will do whatever it takes yes we'd give anything for the six I know forgive me excuse me no no no don't let them do it where's Lord Ujiri it'll all be over soon no I demand to see Lord Ujiri my lord you can't you said you wouldn't how could you do this to your most loyal Knight all right some in the trade raptor please I'll do whatever you ask for shoot more fries Luigi Giri how could you do this she's my best friend these pleas of trial defense of shooting from anywhere shooting survived [Music] my friend well whoever we're getting back it better be a bloody monster 2:30 morning my home I'm in bed bed sleep and my phone's going off at 2:30 in the morning every tooth at work I'm like I get to fall on him like it's tomorrow so I figure out his like he says the choice words I'm not gonna say yes oh just got traded to San Antonio I mean tomorrow it was very open this summer about feeling betrayed did you feel betrayed I felt betrayed because he felt betrayed because that's my guy is my best friend so yeah I felt some type of way call it a person aside it's changed the way you play on the court yeah you're taking a lot less shots how does it feel like to sort of have that part of your game dial back someone I think I'll get to that point where it's a little bit more aggressive offensively but you know we're still just trying to get everybody going sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit to make the team go and you know you got to figure it out as a leader just got to play better I can't even I don't make excuses she's got I mean I don't have any excuses to make I'm just not playing will well so as simple as a guy I make you know I'm gonna play that I have to play about it [Music] [Applause] [Music] my gosh Freddie did a great job of pushing the ball and in a tempo was great you know he gave him some open looks and my teammates are gonna who do your job you know they always support me they always always say but there's this time yeah it was just time for me to step up and play there are a lot of tough decisions that you made with this franchise what are you most proud of and what was the hardest thing for you to do in this offseason I was started with hardest it's obvious trading damar and and letting go of coach Casey those way too hard things I talked about it ever all the time the business is just a tough place to be I'm proud that we we gave that opportunity you know I'm proud that we had great moments for five years is this move that you made in order to get a guy that you think can be at that MVP level is that all it was about to have that guy that can lift you towards an NBA championship he's lifted before [Music] I see all you guys have your Kawhi Leonard gear on tonight so let me ask you guys Kawhi Leonard favorite player in the league oh yeah guys is there any cooler nickname than the claw in the NBA right now yeah no kidding no kidding I don't know anyone else has anything like that this is the claw baby whoa that's what I'm talking about baby tomorrow night this should be very interesting Kawhi goes back to San Antonio and there are games on the schedule you always sort of circle what do you expect that to be I think the reception will be a little icy you can't say you deserve to be were to get that respect if you didn't give that respect on your way you can't come back talking about hey well you guys aren't gonna cheer for me you're not gonna give me that love right it doesn't work that I don't I don't think it's gonna be a real pretty scene [Applause] a six six guard from North Carolina number 14 Danny Green from San Diego State number two the Y letter [Applause] Moscow ciacco I got game I can go anywhere set the lineups and up into here kawaii deceiving the Suzy takes to the rhythm counts and the foul would he not and just because the man doesn't handle his business on the court look to him to be aggressive all night long more importantly put pressure on the defense [Applause] by Nick nurse it's a 15 try to pick up my wonder trailer today somehow they can do that in unison yeah [Music] I felt badly about it Kizer my character guy you know we all make decisions in our lives what we're going to do with our futures and he has that same right as any of us so I felt badly all your thoughts in a tribute video I didn't look at it I don't never look at

honoring demar derozan to once again for his nine sensational seasons here in Toronto he's done a tremendous job on the back boards as well sir I'm not sure DeRozan with the rebound Spurs up by one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they rip the Rose Inn at Millcote [Applause] [Music] [Music] yes they break no too girly just act that moment will you see her for the first time at the Opera go your heart jump yeah even like damn she's still falling [Music] the question always is can you jump from that winning level we'll keep trying you know like I'm not saying this is the answer but we gotta try and that sometimes has change has to happen then one of the big reasons why is Masai Ujiri he took over a troubled franchise in 2013 guys I'm home I love Toronto and quickly instilled a winning culture but who Jerry's impact goes well beyond the bright lights of the NBA raised in Nigeria he's the first African to run a major North American sports franchise but he's never lost sight of his roots in 2003 he founded Giants of Africa using basketball as a tool to educate and improve the lives of young Africans as young kids young youth you have to aspire to be great Messiah returns to Africa every summer teaching and leading the next generation [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the reality is I have to pinch myself sometimes you know like because it's a dream come true I really appreciate the opportunity I've been given and I dream for more you know you want more you know like like you win you know like win that's mean sports gwon win you know like how do you figure out a way to win are you comfortable this rap this group staying Pat or do you see the side you're making a move for another player in order to solidify the Chinese unless you're making a move for a start I just don't see what moves the needle for you guys right now you're good it's how I don't want to give up Pascal I don't want to give up oh gee do you win a championship who's out there tell me would you probe I'm open to probing I'm open to asking the question I don't think Trevor Ariza moves the needle Oh Marcus all cleaning out his locker last night before the game so trade rumors would be an understatement there Memphis purportedly close to dealing Gasol to Charlotte last night I haven't heard this so I'll just read it the Raptors called Memphis offering Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas for Connolly and Marc Gasol but Michael Grange followed up and said the version of Lowry and JV for Connolly near Seoul talks I'm hearing it did not progress very far tweeting Toronto is finalizing a trade to secure Marc Gasol and Ramona I said hey this feels like an arms race in the ether let's start with the biggest name traded today and that was Grizzlies big man Marc Gasol heading north on the morning going to Toronto Marc Gasol I'd say in recent austell always a very good player on his round on 34 35 give me bad rejuvenator right we agree that is a big-time move to me yep but I think Marc can be Jonas Valanciunas part 2 he can finish games he'd be a great matchup for Joe L&B they didn't give up much it's an upgrade I'm not over the moon for it I don't think this makes them the number one team in the east with us or the star but it's a good move we want to welcome Marcus all phenomenal player and real I think a winner [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] and you understand the chance that you have you know coming from the team that hasn't made the playoffs last year and more likely not this year as well you know having a chance to be right there you know how much it means and and you look at the team and the width French had set up and everyone around it you understand will be going for so it's all it was rumored it came out that he didn't want to give up pass keller OG masai wanted to keep both of those kids masai made it work he found a way to do both the soul is still the wind now move he still has Pascal and OG and hey let's be serious lesson here trust Messiah he knows what he's doing [Applause] [Music] and what Pascal siakam can turn into next year or the year after I don't know but the future looks very very bright and it looked massively bright tonight again Pascal Co Co 44 points 10 rebounds on 15 a 25 shooting there's no beating around the bush that's just gangster work not having opportunity and being out there and just having you know the right team is around me and and the coaching staff just you know just made me be myself that helps to growing up the youngest of six children in Cameroon Pascal Sayaka was drawn to the sport of soccer but it was his father's dream to see one of his four sons play in the NBA he loved basketball he talked about it every day so I mean that's why I like for me this moment is like more even more special because it's not just me it's like a family dream but before he could even play in his first college game Pascal received devastating news about the man who had supported him throughout his basketball journey his father had been killed in a car accident Pascal's father was gone but his dream lived during the 2016 draft Raptors president and African native Masai Ujiri was settling into his decision for the number 27 overall pick so what we doing guys tell me I make a call here very pastel I'll go with my scouts this time yes let's go this dark night now is like okay this is it you know I'm just gonna sit sit back and just wait for the moment and I'm like thirty seconds before kinda I think my agents were my brothers so like the kind of knew already I didn't i sat there and then they said my name and my brothers were going crazy people were going crazy I was just sitting there like I didn't I didn't know how did I react you know it was just you know a lot of emotions [Music] surrounded by his entire family and dozens of friends June 23rd 2016 was supposed to be the day Fred man bleeds dreams came true they'd all turned up to watch the NBA Draft expecting at any moment to hear Fred's name Paul but one by one the dreams of sixty other basketball players came true Fred cell phone finally rang still reeling Fred faced his crowd of supporters [Music] that drive party decide give you nightmares too at the time I was I was pissed off and I was upset and I was disappointed and you know I was sad and and all of those things and I was embarrassed the Toronto Raptors offered him a spot on their minor league development team Fred but grudgingly took Toronto's offer and once again the underdog had to prove himself because in the minors and they're no guarantees of ever getting called up during his first full season in the minors he led the team to its first Development League championship making it impossible for the big club to pass him over again Fred made the best of the playing time he got Raptors head coach Nick nursing weekly recognized and one of the best substitutes in the league he flies under the radar but what does he do to your team like you said he's been kind of the unnoticed underdog for a long time he's not very big not very fast but he can play mad and he is winning spirit his winning attitude his work ethic his IQ all those things are contagious and really helped our team brain bleed inside to Seattle I have to ask myself about this the Eastern Conference is a question mark in my mind are we sleeping and disrespecting the Toronto Raptors I think we are this is the best team the Raptors have ever had of stepping into the playoffs and the expectations should be through the roof right now and we're tired you'd be proud rats not going to take their time out they're gonna give it to Kauai are you plenty of time here you got plenty of time they get a good chill matched up against harvest a two-man game here Willard get switched on to apply for the win no time now no time now that's the ballgame the this ain't your grandpappy's trying to rap yeah Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard brings something different to the table they haven't been there for the ghosts of Christmas past so this is here two ball [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] that's itself one outlet I will probably say because I say I've seen the Angela rush will be pretty special he sings down to three but but I would say see ya I mean he was just trying to find a role on a team last year on this team now he's a letter gets denied by puja [ __ ] saved by Gordon here comes Orlando Gordon flying to the rim can't get the layup Bucci bid sets of Forney Orlando keeps it alive Fournier from the weak attacks the magic roaring back in his second it builds a seven-point lead time out Toronto [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you're gonna love this one TAS if it wasn't just relieve Abul I wouldn't believe it but the Raptors lost Game one again this time it was to the magic thanks the 25 points and a game-winning three from that's right DJ Augustin and a big fat zero points from Kyle Lowry it's just one game but same old Raptors I'm not worried yet for Toronto I'm not gonna do Oh same old Toronto with Kawhi Leonard to see Aachen being that improved Lowry was terrible but we've seen that before and if you're Kyle Lowry this is a guy that's been to also been an all-star of numerous time on the big stage you have to step up and I'm a karlão we fan I always love this game but too many times we've seen this in the playoffs this can't keep happening to one of your best players on your team if you think you're really gonna make some noise and are serious about contending for an NBA title come on man [Music] come back don't call it a comeback [Music] [Applause] [Music] you know what this most teams we could start here and make it more difficult on them as a season as the series went on and we were not able to do that obviously and instead you know their defense was the key but their offense also got better and better [Music] we got their game on the weekend right the next game Saturday possibly Sunday Saturday's earliest debate so we'll take tomorrow off get you back in we get on the things it took us a game to get into it we've got better every game let's keep on building on this and bring it for Game one right now is when things get real funky of Milwaukee playing Boston and the Toronto Raptors facing off against the Philadelphia 76ers a rematch of many many moons ago well a lot of anticipation not only for this series but for the second round in general you've got enormous expectations for these two teams Greg and they've made no secret about it they are all in trying to get to that ultimate goal it's got the feel of a heavy weight cloud [Music] they both got dominant Superstars and as you mentioned there if the expectations are so high for both I've never seen so much put on a second round series but you're gonna look at the loser of this series potentially having to revamp their entire roster so a lot riding on the line here starting tonight [Music] to open play the elevation of this status as a good time [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I tell you what when you got to God in the rhythm like the wild one it is hostile Fiat them you better send out a 9-1-1 call and get some help [Music] there's a two-man show that carried the Raptors past the Sixers in Game one of their best of seven Kawhi Leonard Pascal siakam combined went 28 for 38 for 74 points in those two outscored Phillies starting five and a 13-point win would want I'm sure we got to come by we're not on the side of bad percentage so I'm definitely gonna adjust everybody's gonna adjust [Music] guys true or false the Sixers have figured out Sixers are top-heavy with no bench but look at the contribution they got last night baby they getting contributions that's too bad max yeah that's true max but is that about the sixes or is it about the Raptors I'm supposed to have a good pitch yeah well evidently not think there's a comment to your whole bull panic it says Nick nurse is so bad at making adjustment you've had two games to realize how bad the bench is the bench you don't even know at this point if any of these guys gonna be able to knock down a shot and give you anything and to hold on to leave Kyle was deferring all the time Pascal looked mediocre it was it was just kawaii and that was it you know we all got it help me plan a little right now what was your sense of Joelle and beat out there tonight you played great you know you made his presence they uploaded open and be fakes happy the worst part for the Raptors is are they gonna be the team last year that gave in to LeBron and that intimidation with LeBron shootin fadeaways and then it was over I think this is a bit of a different team do we say that every year oh yeah we do don't they didn't have to I Leonard in the past game for us obviously the Raptor season on the line yeah must-win for the rascal [Music] [Music] these got picked off Butler fix-up Leonard another jumper [Music] [Laughter] [Music] this bread butter moon that's nuts ham that is best usually that would be inaudible the more important they didn't which was great to use it goes up by one one time outlets Simmons pressing up on Leonard [Applause] switches in bead came out and the man following they had them it had to be in elevation right there what a pressure shot the lead is back up to four he's got thirty nine could Toronto find a way to steal a game send it back tied to Toronto and now make this the best two out of three series and they did that Kauai showed enough manner mmm that was what we call a virtuoso that was a virtuoso what is it about your temperament that seems like you never flustered or worried or gets fed up you're gonna move it your face um just really growing up and learning from players watching watching them you know great players seeing how they you know could either control the game or just playing at their own speed and not being truck I'm not trying to be rushed by the defender but um you know I was fortunate enough to be on some pretty good teams early playing in a regular season I had times that I took those shots and they came up short so I guess I was thinking as well at the time just making sure I put it up high at least get it to the back room and mr. best of three now so I just feel like having the same mentality don't get too down or too low or worry about you know where you at just focus on the game and I don't see what happens the next game game five ways to - you gotta win that whole game you gotta win at home game is it now tonight they ain't going back to Canada for Game seven six is gonna close about Thursday night [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] way better than ripe at any Toronto fan expected the Raptors just annihilate the Philadelphia 76ers [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you know after we lost the first game in Philly it was a calm down mentally you know but when are we got home when we come back the we're excited to go back to Philadelphia nobody's nobody's walking out of here what with me I promise you that we have a prideful team we have a team that that had a poor performance tonight we let one slip in Philadelphia we wish Joelle were healthy we felt like we could have one in Philadelphia but nobody's walking out of here thinking anything else but we're excited to go back to Philadelphia and find a way to win you know when I look at Billy there's two games in this series I've been incredibly impressed with their mental toughness Game three I thought was maybe considering clubs opponent one of the best performers that we've seen and of course what we saw last night [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] yeah there's gonna be a big game for us we gotta play harder yeah do everything we need to do to win the game I was stealing seven is do or die we're gonna go home really the Raptors just lost in a blowout in game six so we're heading to a game seven on Sunday which you know everyone was trying to avoid I know that the mood of the fan base is probably a little bit negative right now but I've decided to be positive today this is where you find out who you are what you are what you've been putting in and this is where Nick Norris was hired to do this is what Brett Brown was hired to do to get them over the hump it's just right now both these organizations collide somebody's not going to the next to the next round knowing their woes throughout how many years now firing their head coach last season after being coach of the year always failing in the playoffs it does seem like the fan base over in Toronto and just the media and all of the noise in Toronto is a little bit more heavier than what the Sixers have on him this game Sunday night the dot the chain of events it could set off our borderline frightening tonight considering where we stand right now in Raptors history so no pressure [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] they see after averaging 21 in the series and see after tonight has nine [Applause] [Applause] timaeus harris as well but i wouldn't be surprised if you could jimmy butler who loves the moment if he gets the opportunity [Applause] he ties the game 4.2 to go knifing his way Jimmy Butler you can't make this also watch the quick again please [Applause] your saw will involve siakam back in got to be aware of the inbounder here if you're filling it by Simmons [Applause] so the Toronto Raptors don't have the longest track record in the world but it has been nearly 25 years thousands of games and we can now identify the exact best single second in franchise history and yet all of it turned out to be just lead up to Kauai doing this I've never seen a guy if you look at this being able to take out a game-winning shot and be squatting way award you know he's watching he's squatting it's waiting to see we're gonna go I've never seen that well I don't only for the second time in history - the butter buzzer beater in an elimination game the Jordan shot over Craig Ehlo the most iconic image in the argument for most iconic shopping it's free basketball and now Kauai I'll be honest I'm still sitting here and I don't truly believe that that shot went in I couldn't concentrate watching Game of Thrones first thing I did when I woke up this morning was make sure that actually happened it wasn't a dream cuz it does feel sort of that surreal yeah from the franchise like the Raptors that don't have a ton of success that was a heck of a shot everybody is happy in Toronto for a day [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] covered in tastes more like it listen up were sweet sensitive with elected Santa's wizard so you better listen to miss again go ahead little prick bastard isn't when you eat with a psychotic [Music] [Applause] let's lead it to to nothing they are now ten and one over all of these in these playoffs 8 of their 10 wins have been by double-digits his team is rollin shy to games are enough for me to say this is a wrap what do you see it definitely is a wrap I can't see Toronto winning more than one game in this series I actually said it was over after Game one one of my favorite coaches with Paul Silas I asked him one year when I was in Phoenix what kind of team we got he says oh we gonna suck as a coach I think we got a good team he said no he though he says one I don't know what I won't get every night that makes it very difficult for us to coach you he says if a guy give me thirty one night and ten in next night people gonna say he averaged in twenty that's what's happening with the Toronto Raptors right now guys might get me 20 or they might get me six that's not gonna beat this Bucs team because the one thing about Milwaukee they got guys who can score like we know that Kawhi Leonard can store we're not getting nothing out of a baka Gasol see outcome or Kyle Lowry we got guys coming in on a Milwaukee bench who again double digits that's gonna be very difficult for them so the positive is we're going back to Toronto that's the only positive thing what are you go from there Kauai I'm going to Toronto Game three [Music] [Applause] [Music] lead by frame Lowery back [Applause] looks like he's been [Applause] and it is you mentioned why taking over [Applause] in the rafters give the Syrians back in I'm not thinking I'm down to Oh at the time you gotta be in a moment live in a moment and then once you do that you know you could live with the results I got told I don't make admissions this is about a playing smart and aggressive and confident and he's a great leader for us and to be able to go out there and play 52 minutes and and lead the team with his voice in the time I was telling us to stay calm stay in a moment you know I shot some norm just coming in you know and just bringing us energy and and and just giving everything you know and that's really what's been missing from Toronto these playoffs when they lose when they have bad games you look around the box score and there's not a lot of contributors this time for the first time normal cam off the bench hit some shots even though we fed out but he was out there contributing definitely yeah I mean steady two minutes and it's in the playoffs so you know you definitely feel it we played 30 minutes you feeling still yeah it took them two overtimes and Kauai was there right until the end carrying this team offensively and defensively they asked him for the first time to sticky on a steady tempo just like in the last series when their backs are against the wall against the Sixers they asked them to guard Jimmy Butler in Game seven because if kawaii is gonna be asked to guard Yanis which I guess that's gonna be the way for the rest of this year see how it's not know of course then Kauai can't be expected to then also carry the offensive load other guys have to step up and start hitting shots Fred vanvleet hit a shot 353 thousand babies are born in the world every day and on May 20th one of those babies was born to an NBA player in the middle of a historic playoff run Monday morning I thought I had a nice day off at home in Toronto got the card at water broke it's been a frantic week but no it's that's what makes all this stuff worth it Fred vanvleet already had a daughter at home but what he didn't know at the time is how the arrival of Fred jr. would impact his game up to that point in the postseason he was in the slump averaging just four points a game shooting 26% from the field and only 20% from three in the playoff game since Fred Junior [Music] you know welcome you know a little Freddie Freddie Giri to the builders so that's the formula that's the keys hey I guess zero sleep have a lot of babies and go out there and let loose when you went down to nothing to Milwaukee some pronounce the series is over I was one of those sucks what do you see as the key move that turned the series around and into your favor well surprisingly you don't associate Toronto Raptors will be in the top 15 but with Norman Powell with Marc Gasol with Serge Ibaka we see you they have out tuft Milwaukee to large degree no hesitation just and of course you know we never put our heads down we never thought it was gonna be oh we never thought it would be easy we still don't think it's gonna be easy we understood like this is just the Eastern Conference Finals you know it's never gonna be easy it's gonna be tough but you know we just go out there and play our game I'm not afraid of the moment my Julie you know this was what our workout for in a summary [Music] look at this don't talk to me talk to these people it's about these people right here we are like a college worth stealing the Toronto Raptors are college sports team I promise you I love Toronto I love this team and we're going to the NBA Finals [Applause] so what will chasten of a backcourt [Applause] I don't believe them the books right now I think it's over with yeah I think that I think - one of the smash they sold kawaiguy gathers in a straitjacket i producer Steve I want to know if we can get the bar at the bottom that says Kendrick : Toronto has snatched theirs I would just like to see that on TV on the jump yeah remember who told you guys don't be so quick to jump off the bandwagon I'm gonna keep reminding you wrapped her fans remember the moment that y'all jumped off the bandwagon and where we are now because it's three two Raptors you're coming home for Game six you've got to win Game six the crowd has to be rockin in Game six in Toronto with a chance to go to the NBA Finals on the line [Music] it's been crazy I mean today is one day removed from the 25th anniversary of when the team was given its name we're not even talking about playing just given its name and all those all that preparation all that vision all that stuff that went into getting to this point has finally come true there have been 17 win seasons 21 win seasons Glen Grunwald taking boos at midcourt at Maple Leaf Gardens playoff heartbreak sweeps and it's what makes you it what defines you it's what toughen you you know they always say pressure makes diamonds or pressure breaks pipes and right now the pressure and all the stuff that the team has been through hopefully for them it turns into a diamond 26 years is a long time 1993 was the last time a Toronto team from one of the big four North American sports sat in this position one went away from advancing to the championship series to borrow a phrase from those glory days win tonight and for the first time in history the Eastern Conference championship banner will fly north of the border [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] someone on this Raptors team is gonna have to supply some energy diving on the floor getting an extra tip in doing the little things you're not gonna get the score back in one place [Applause] sniffing pork trail off the bench going back to their previous series [Music] [Applause] Leonard working hard here on location shots [Music] [Applause] that cups Middleton goes behind the van with the steel he has noticed the height at this point [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I've been here longest known seven years that's ever years in my career these fans have been here since day one since I've been here and group of guys we got back here especially you know we work assumably hard and you know the fan has given us everything we needed tonight family our friends [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ah that's all let's go [Applause] and historic and emotional evening for the Toronto Raptors and thousands of fans here in the city people flooding the streets parting into the late hours as the wraps cut to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history even now the day after the chills remain I'm still in a lot of shock it's uh I didn't I didn't I thought I was like I can't I gotta be dreaming there's no way that's happening right now ODT Oh what Renault consignment store there have been a steady stream of fans all day coming in to take photos in front of this mural depicting Kawhi Leonard's famous bunch of you throughout the night those people outside of the store taking photos of the one outside since we've opened it's just been on mob here taking photos which we support it's really uh it's a holiday to be honest that's what it feels like feels like a holiday it looks like no one's working and everyone's just in a good mood there's a lot of high-fiving on the street with people I don't know and I think that's amazing I didn't maybe Street maybe that's a great thing then we're just looking for the benefit of finals see if they can make another okay so the wait is over for Raptors fans the wraps will continue their quest for their first ever NBA championship tonight sounds so good it will be the first time an NBA Finals game is played outside of the US so of course all eyes here on the North tonight for Game one Jurassic Park right now a lot of diehard fans Oliver he's starting to make their way through here a lot of media from all over the world getting set as well Jurassic Park has nothing on Jurassic Park West they have completely transformed celebration square and these fans are in it to win it now this is going to be one of 27 areas across Canada that you can have a chance to watch the Raptors if you can't get into the game highest fans anywhere in the whole Raptor nation let's go we're extremely excited about about the Raptors obviously my son is a massive Raptors fan I commend the Toronto Raptors because they gave me cause to pause but I'm going with the Golden State war I think a Toronto to win this series Haidee is injured I saw Kady limp it to the plane maybe I played in this series correct so correct right correct Jenna and I collaborated on this all morning Nick that's why we were in there and we believed in the story line compared to who's the best team Golden State with all the experience that they have they're a better team on paper but the Kawhi Leonard story since he was traded has been the theme of the playoffs Jen and I have decided and man this is tough for us we are going to go with the Raptors they get it done tonight and they win the series in seventh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] contested phrase [Applause] running the floor see action back to water [Applause] the narrative was okay they haven't been on this stage before this franchise has come up short but the bottom line as you said you have veterans these guys aren't young players obviously siakam is a young player made fantastic tonight and maybe not the same exact experience in terms of what Golden State's done but they came out they weren't fazed there was a motion here in the building there was a lot of buildup and excitement leading into this game and they came out and took care of business they came out like they were the defending champs [Music] you know see how come you know we're talking about him being a you know the most improved player in the league this is this is not you know abnormal this is what he's capable of doing well he's become a guy and so you know you gotta he put a lot of work in and get there and and I respect that but like I said I gotta take him out of this series and that's on me just outside of Jurassic Park just outside of Scotiabank arena where all of the GTA all of Canada is celebrating a win by the Raptors in Game one [Applause] I tried to tell you peeps I tried to tell Canada that guess what you're going back to Oakland 1 1 1 because this is the situation the Toronto Raptors periodically not consistently but periodically as you said short on shots they struggle and the reality of the situation is that when you have difficulty in putting the ball in the hole the Golden State Warriors are going to get you [Music] [Applause] [Music] looks at the Toronto bench nods his head and it's 16 straight points beautiful pass by cousins as well big adalah draymond Green thanks at home what an avalanche here from Golden State a 13-point lead [Music] you know certainly the offense hurt the chance to get the defense set up there so yeah I'm gonna have to rewatch that I'm probably not gonna enjoy that very much but I'm have to check it out with the series tied going into Oakland and no longer being on home court what are the prominent focal points that you're going to bring over to the next couple of games we're in the same boat they're kind of we're in coming here you know we got to go out there and get one y'all just understand the moment we're very locked in and focused on adapting you know to the circumstances that are thrown at us right now with you know a lot of injuries and kind of uncertainty who's going to be able to play a little bit different this is the most Bing duck the Golden State Warriors have been throughout there's five year running after playing in 120 consecutive playoff games klay Thompson will now tonight miss his first playoff action in a lot of ways this is the Raptors best opportunity to take control of this series and to take important visitor back you gotta stay locked in mentally tough mentally focus for 48 this is your time to go do it right now get back to trusting what you've done [Applause] once again back in the house once again [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the finals [Applause] turn there first CBC's Greg Ross leads off our coverage from Oakland this morning from the thick of an elated crowd of Raptors fans just an incredible scene inside Oracle Arena we're about 15 minutes after the final buzzer and the fans from Canada refused to leave they've been chanting they've been singing o Canada I will say this I was blessed to be on a championship team in Houston and it was the first championship major sporting championship for the city pales in comparison to what this is only because as Kyle Lowry when I interviewed him yesterday I said you understand the magnitude and what this means for the country and then he really ducky said put it in perspective like we asked the Lakers over here the Kings in California yet three teams Golden State just in the state of California there's one G the first major sporting championship in basketball is happening right now possibly and they're doing it against the dynasty of what the modern era is in the NBA this is an unbelievable experience to be part of it almost makes me wanna go big kq5 if he bought of it cuz I want to see how it is [Music] and recognize that the years ago to say warriors you've got one last hope Mike not only will they start but according to Steve Kerr Kevin Durant will not have any minute's restrictions whatsoever he is anticipating however that there could be some early fatigue this is a man that has not played since May 8 [Music] here's his first shot and it looks pretty good that guy around us Houma 3 the rant tries another three to for tours captain Duran [Music] [Applause] vodka trying to

Amazing, just finished. Essential viewing for every Raps fan

[u/troysexton23]

I have a new one... not raptor related, its Cavs vs warriors in 15/16, but I did put in a 5 minute quasi prequel to Northern Uprising. That one scene would easily fit into Northern Uprising.
