Kawhi Leonard will forever be a Toronto Raptors legend for this game winning shot.

facts. one year stint but he did what no other raptor could do lead the team to a championship.

Soul crushing. I'm a Sixers fan. That was our best chance of going to the Finals. Why we ever got rid of Butler is beyond me. So frustrating.

[@DickbagBaggins]

If the Sixers had pulled this out, they would have had a ring, they were the best 2 teams in the playoffs that year

[@mrwilliamson2938]

Crazy how Jimmy Butlers game tying shot with 4.2 seconds is completely forgotten. 76ers had all the momentum if it went into overtime and i still believe they would have won. But Kawhi turned out to be even more clutch

[@Thec0meUp]

Seriously. And they blame him for the same sequence against Boston in 2022. He could’ve splashed the 3 vs BOS 👀

That shot by Kawhi Leonard, the bounce on the rim and then it went in was amazing! The crowd went crazy, even though my Warriors lost, I gotta give the Raptors their respect and say they never won a Championship. So I'm happy for them for that reason, they had the defense and players offensively that could score not just Kawhi but Lowry and Vavleet.

[@juanjo6992]

I won't NEVER forget this shot for the rest of my life! One of the best endings in the history of NBA!
