Drake told the NBA he'd tone it down then he showed up wearing Steph's dad's jersey, got in Curry's face, Hotline Blinged Klay, told Draymond he's trash, and flexed on them on IG. He's the real MVP.

- Well, damn. Woke my son up in the ninth inning, hoping he’d get to witness the first Toronto championship of his lifetime. Instead, he learned a valuable lesson about sports heartbreak 💔
- Adam Silver: We spoke with Drake, he'll behave himself. Drake, literally at the same time: *walks in wearing Steph's dad's jersey*
- "The Mavericks called the Lakers, offered Luka Doncic and that's when the Lakers had to huddle internally." The huddle:

02:13“This deal materialized in the shadows … LeBron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I’m told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade.” @ShamsCharania on the Anthony Davis-Luka Doncic trade between the Lakers and Mavericks - LeBron can recall every single possession in a 48-minute game. JR doesn't even know the score.
- 8 years ago Pascal Siakam wasn't playing basketball. 3 years ago he wasn't supposed to be a 1st-round pick. 2 years ago he wasn't supposed to be a rotation player. 1 year ago he wasn't supposed to be a full-time starter. Today, he's the NBA's Most Improved Player.
- Who's the best player in the world, Kawhi or KD? Fred VanVleet: "Kawhi." Why? FVV: "He's my friend."
- Kyle Lowry: "When we got swept by the Wizards I read every single article. I read every single thing that was said about me - good, bad, evil, terrible, awesome, and I used it as motivation. And that's what (Siakam) is going to do. That's the advice I would give him."
- 8 years ago Pascal Siakam wasn't playing basketball. 3 years ago he was a surprise 27th pick. He made $4M in his first 3 NBA seasons. Now he's an NBA champion, the league's reigning Most Improved Player, and will make more than $130M over the next 5 years. Remarkable story.
- Sucks to lose a player like Kawhi. Still, he was an absolute pro throughout the season and when it mattered most he gave Toronto everything he had. No hard feelings. He delivered Canada its first NBA championship, now he's doing what's best for him. His Raptors legacy lives on.
- Appropriately, Kyle Lowry walks off the court with the trophy he's spent 7 years working for.
00:00 - A reminder that the Raptors got Norman Powell and OG Anunoby for Greivis Vazquez.
- So there you have it: Kawhi and the Raptors both go out in Game 7 of the 2nd round. To think what they could have done together.
