Here's How the Raptors & Toronto Celebrated Their Championship Win
Of course Drake was part of it.
Celebrations are in full swing for the Raptors and their home city Toronto after its 4-2 NBA Championship victory over the Golden State Warriors, and of course, Drake was involved. After the away win at the Oracle Arena in San Francisco, the champions flew home on no other than Drizzy’s very own $220 million USD private jet, making sure to bring the Larry O’Brien trophy on board. The musician didn’t waste the opportunity, Instagramming the star-studded journey home.
Celebrations continued once the winners landed, with a Championship parade making its way through Ontario’s capital on Monday. According to reports, Raptors fans camped out overnight to have prime spots to catch the team take their victory lap through the city. MVP Kawhi Leonard was seen sporting his “Board man gets paid” shirt thanking the city and his fans, while Drake announced OVO Fest’s return this year. At one point, the crowd started chanting “One more year” to Leonard — whose agency will soon be free — to which Kyle Lowry chanted back “Five more years!” Leonard also made fun of his own now-iconic laugh. For all the highlights of the parade, check out the tweets below.
And for more NBA news, Anthony Davis will be joining the LA Lakers.
