I turned this on hoping JJ would bring up the travel. The man takes like 4 steps. It’s the only way he gets around Ben. Probably cost the Sixers a title. That was their year.
@@RoKe-lu4fr shut up already get over it ... Raps would of won in over time
Get that strange staring guy off the screen he freaks my kid tf out
@@primetime758 no. The games over. The shot stands. The travel is a part of the story even if you want to pretend it didn’t happen. We don’t know what would’ve happened in OT. I have my own opinion. It was a good series.
@@RoKe-lu4fr dont matter if it happend or not i have my own opinions as well you lost get over it that was the 6ers biggest chance its over we would of won in OT Kawhi would of turned into Kawhiborg and i was there
One of the coldest game winning buzzer beaters in NBA history. The reactions, the announcers, the crowd. Everything sealed this moment is history.
You gotta give kawhi props with that wingspan it's hard to shoot with long arms and big hands
And I almost cried that night I was so mad
@@chubbs.mp3435 I was absolutely livid being a Sixers fan was the worst feeling at that time
Dude, that second the ball was bouncing around
@@chubbs.mp3435 I cried cuz I was so happy!
That shot is legendary in Raptors whole entire franchise
and in NBA history. The only game 7 buzzer beater.
@@SnapbackCity321 I was about to flame that dude good covering.
It's easily the most legendary shot in the Raptors entire history
People call me stupid because i quit my job so i could smoke on my CZcams channel full time & do what makes me happy 😃
@@SevenHunnid Nah they right. Good luck to you tho bro 💯
you're a legend for having him on, Pascal gets so little respect among fans but his peers all know. can't wait for the full episode
All his peers know he’s a 3rd option, over paid and got over hyped playing next to Kyle and Kawhi?
@@smesh8318 Sorry but Pascal is the 2nd best player in that Toronto Championship team.
@@panaglimaanthonygerardc.8872 raptors fan here, kwahi, Fred, Kyle, Pascal...in that order in my opinion. I like Pascal but I don't think he will be a serial all star ever.
@@smesh8318 relax
I hate him as a player but truly love him as a person. His vibe is contagious
Pascal’s reaction to JJ’s pain is so funny
These are the shots 20 years from we’ll look back and be mesmerized by it
*still be mesmerized
20 minutes
Raptors team embraced Kawhi when he came to Toronto. The team embraced him even when he wasn’t playing because of load management. Everybody knew their assignment when Kawhi wasn’t playing. If we compare Kawhi’s Clippers teammates, they didn’t embrace him like Toronto did. You have Patrick Beverly and Monztrel Harrell complaining about Kawhi’s load management. I think that’s where the Clippers failed because the team weren’t all in the same page.
well said
Definitely, and even though the Clippers got rid of those guys, I think it won’t still work out.
Clippers situation is funny. Because they were filled with arrogant players who weren’t half as talented as that Raptors roster. Kawhi did himself a disservice by not at least trying to defend that title
Raptors knew the playoffs were their goal, they also knew Leonard wanted to go to LA. They tried to please him to make him stay. It also helped that they had vets like Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka, Danny. The expectations were lower in Toronto than the Clippers.
@@richlor92 Raptors were the 2 seed and traded their long-time all-star for a superstar that was likely to leave in 1 year. They also traded a young Jonas V for an older Marc Gasol. They went all in on the chip.
They were definitely a top 5 team in the league with a chance to win it all that year. (Warriors, Rockets, Bucks, Raptors, Sixers)
Edit: Expectations were high.
Met Spicy P the summer of 2019 after Raps won the chip, he came to get passport photos at my work.
Was such a nice guy and took the time to take pictures. Awesome experience, and awesome guy.
Kawhi on the pod would be the most legendary episode ever 🙏
Yessir
Haha.... Haha
Kawhi in that game 4 was something else, he sealed that game with that 3 over Joel and it was just insane how he carried the entire team on his back. I know Kawhi went to Clippers to go home but if he had stayed for another year, I have no doubt that the raptors wouldve gone back to back.
3 peat no doubt
Crazy as hell lol
@@freezydmx7820 those are hard because guys leave and injuries after competing at that level but definitely back to back
Def back to back, and it would have attracted talent from other teams to come to Toronto
@@freezydmx7820 not a 3 beat but back to back would have easily happened.
Kawhi should’ve never left, it was the perfect situation for him
everyone knew gong to the clippers was a bad idea but i dont think he cares
100%.
When have we seen a superstar arrive on a team and fit quickly like that? Not only that but they won a chip that very year.
But Kawhi seems the type of dude to do what he wants and makes him happy over what its the best situation.
I guess that depends on what perfect means to you. Some people might value having the perfect job, rather than being with family/at home. Some people value home/family moreso than having the perfect job.
@@Thiiink CAP, everyone said the clippers were loaded. Don’t rewrite history. Them getting PG sealed that they had the most talented team and were favorites
@@Thiiink huh?? Do you not remember how much everyone were sucking on the Clippers
Man, I love Kawhi. He plays like a quiet Kobe/MJ in terms of getting his mid-range position and shots.
I feel like the Clips window to win a chip has now become smaller. Their best chance was the 20 and 21 seasons.
They could win it all last year bruh🤦♂️. But, let's see how is kawhi when he came back.
@@panaglimaanthonygerardc.8872 they for sure would have. no way suns beat them and kawhi woulda clamped giannis like in 2019
True Kawaki can slow The freak his arms so long
@@thriftthrift4638 And he has fingers the size of bananas 🖐🏾
There’s always a window, they just need a better supporting cast is all
This is so hard to watch as a sixers fan but jj your making me feel better talking about it openly
Its time to heal. Open up and cry if you need to. 👀👀
@Y2K Sports objectively yes it was a travel, but are the refs going to call travel on a x2 finals mvp during a game 7 buzzer beater? that sounds like its p bad for business
@Y2K Sports 3:22 was a travel???
Let the pain out of your heart.
@@jesseswarbrick7895 if you watch in slow mo.... techinally, it can be counted as a travel, two steps before the dribbling started. depending how the ref view the exact start of the dribbling. But I wouldn't call it. A robot with that laugh drops a 4 rim-bounce game 7 buzzbeater. it is way better than a vague travel call.
The sixers fumbled by letting jj and Jimmy leave they had such a good team
Bro 6ers made such a mistake keeping Brett Brown as coach. Thr org losing Jimmy, Mikal Bridges and Monty Williams bc of one guy is
☹
That 76ers team was on of all time greats Idw over hype them but even jj was averaging 18ppg they were definitely better than the last two champions
Bruh, that’s not the only thing the Sixers fumbled. They also drafted Fultz over Tatum and they traded away Mikal Bridges for a pack of gum and some tissue roll or something smh. THEY BASICALLY FUMBLED THE WHOLE “TRUST THE PROCESS”. They had it, “The Process” was a success. They just made every wrong decision.
Did you miss last season?
Jimmy didn’t want to stay
Kawhi should have stayed in Toronto man. That team had godly defence
Even a Kawhi-less raptors brought the celtics to a game 7 in the bubble, there’s no doubt in my mind that with Kawhi they go the conf. finals & beat miami to face the lakers
That shot by Kahwi is one of the most heart breaking shot.
Cause he's been hurt 🤕 he knows how to return the favor lol
Man Kawhi resigning with Toronto is one of the biggest what if’s in modern nba history. They had a legit chance of going back to back, they were easily better than the 2020 Lakers. Kawhi not winning in LA also proves just how hard winning a ring truly is and imo Kawhi wasted a great opportunity to win another one in 2020.
Should of just resigned to go back to back.Hate when Kawhi make it seem like he'll be in Toronto 365 days of the year and could of traveled whenever to see his fam.
Exactly!!
@@unknownname3189 It's not like Kawhi can afford to travel a lot. He's only making 40 million a year
This is JJ reddick lane right here . He’s a natural as a interviewer. The way he eases into questions is great
I've been saying for years, even in San Antonio.. Kawhi's comp is clearly Jordan from the second threepeat. Their playstyle is almost the exact same.. just Kawhi extends out to the 3pt line.
That entire sixers raptor series is one of the greatest ever. The final shot by Kawai was just the icing on the cake
The fact the the shot was tough and a top tier perimeter defender was double teaming him and on top of that his wingspan makes his release slower and arc higher makes the shot legendary.
Like I have a 7 inch ape index and I can't shoot consistently but I can shoot over people but it's hard.
Kawhi shot was crazy and the fact it rolled in so slowly must hurt
I was in the building for this game & what a moment for us Raptors fans, the place went crazy! Best time of my life.
Same my phone died while kawhi shot
*The world stopped spinning for those 4 bounces* 🌍 🏀
Damn, I can already tell this about to be an amazing interview. Pascal's a natural on the mic!
real ones know, ever since How Hungry Are You 👨🍳
Kawhi is without doubt the closest thing to Mike that we've seen since. It used to be Kobe because of all the moves and the style but Kawhi has more of the subtle movement and playmaking of Michael, the way he gets to his spots, his insane strength, it's remarkably reminiscent of MJ. It's a shame he's injured so much because he really took off as a scorer in the second part of his career.
Facts to me Kobe played like Jordan but he kinda put his own Lil spin and twist to it Kawhi is like damn near an exact replica almost
@@deacon3276 what!?!
Kawhi is really different from MJ in his movements. He is not as quick nor as elegant as MJ.
@@nicolasm.3708 What they mean was, Kobe is like the elegant part of MJ’s game. He took MJ’s footwork, fadeaway, and pumpfakes and made it his own. On the other hand, Kawhi is like the rough side of MJ. He has the huge mitts that MJ had, he had MJ’s built, he had that strength to go up and throw it down over anybody. He also has MJ’s defense (No offense to Kobe) but Kawhi has that lockdown D that MJ had. Kawhi may not be as polished as Kobe, but he does enough moves to get to his spots and shoot a high percentage shot. Even if his moves look stiff.
When Kawhi led the Raps, what always got me was how quietly he accumulated points - no flash, no flexing, just b-ball. At the end of the game I'd be like "Kawhi was a bit quiet tonight... wait, what... he scored 32??
@@deacon3276 no it was Kobe who copied ALL of MJ’s moves even MJ’s mannerisms. Kawhi’s game is completely different, not a copy of MJ at all 🧐
My son was born in March just before this playoff run. The whole time I held, fed, and bounced him and it makes it that much more special and memorable. I don't know which memory is better. Kwahi dunking on Giannis or this shot.
Either way incredible memories and blessed to be a Raps fan. Thanks for a great interview
You got pascal on the pod!!! Can’t wait to watch the full episode! Go raptors
This Raptors squad is one of my favorite teams
During the entire time he was talking inwas smiling just as much as him. Like as a Canadian seeing our only team win a chip was so cool after getting there with a shot like that
The fact you can talk about it and laugh shows how humble and down to earth you are
Thanks for putting the replays in the video! So much more enjoyable that way
Ayeeee dope for having Pascal on. That's my fantasy player!!! Had him last year and this year. SPICY P!!!
That team was so Loveable and smart such an all time teams, that shot overshadows the brilliants of the whole team
JJ thank you for reliving the painful memory for content.
" is this the dagger?"
"Oohhhh"
Still got chills watching that shot now
Everyone makes fun of that Raptors ring because of the warriors injuries but fail to understand that they still had beat two top tier teams in Philly and the Bucs who had the MVP in Giannis and are now NBA champs themselves
not "everyone" makes fun of the Raptors ring. On the contrary, only a handful of insignificant cry babies do
That shot is the greatest moment in all of Canada’s history as a COUNTRY, let alone sports.
kinda insulting but thanks
@@chase_99 fact
@@AngeloBx fact
What makes this shot even more iconic is that they went on to win the championship that year. Even tho he was only there one year Kawhi deserves to have a statue in Toronto cause without him they don’t make it
Probably the greatest moment in my life
I turned into the kid i was in 2001 if vince hit that shot in philly.
Pascal on JJ’s podcast, 🔥
Still one of the best buzzer beaters EVER!!!
when that went in i started bawling my eyes out
Raps were 17-5 without kawhi that year. Bucks were lucky to even have home court advantage in the ECF
Kawhi was unbelievable that whole finals series. Every time they looked down he stepped up. Beat giannis and simmons and embiid. Wish durant hadn't have been injured but still an enjoyable watch without him.
Call me crazy, but I almost feel like 2019 Kawhi is the closest thing we have had to Jordan since a prime Kobe
2016 lebron
Yeah his play style & efficiency even on defense dude was a da
As a Toronto fan that shot is an all time classic moment, not only in Raptors history but NBA history. The 2019 Championship run was and is my favorite moment as a Raptors fan. Go Raps!
Dude travel shouldn’t be proud of tht
Refs rig games all the time not a Philly or rap fan but call the calls
Kawhi's "travel" had a gather step so that's why there was a no-call if I'm not wrong
No way nba refs gonna call a travel in that moment 😂
@@danger1026 exactly this. Like so many travels go uncalled every game, people really think the refs are gonna call that one with 4 seconds left in a game 7?
There's no more travel in NBA now.
JJ forgot to mention the sensational shot he made with 3: 27 left in Game 7 where he rolled out of bounds after the shot. After he caught the pass he took a full 4 steps with NO gather before shooting and scoring a "long 2" (Marv Albert). Physician, heal thyself.
He did travel. It's just that, although actually stated in the rulebook to the letter, refs simply don't call travel anymore unless its an BEYOND obvious one like when Westbrook walked up court with the ball in hand vs the Warriors. Even then they almost didnt call it. lol
Thanks for showing my video! No travel!!! Great work on your video podcasts JJ.
I have almost come to terms with that fact that I will never ever be able to escape this shot which has caused me much pain. I’m also a Pitt fan so this is just my Sixers version of the Kemba shot that pops up at least once every March for the past decade
Ha
Will never forget that year
Awesome interview
Props to JJ for this.
Wow not a kawhi fan but i realize i miss seeing him play i hope everyone be healthy an NBA with all this big stars can play Klay, VO, and even the ones who just cant play like Ben and kyrie
In my opinion the best shot in history
I’m a raptors fan and I’ve been waiting for one of our players to come on the show
JJ always bringing the best guests
In person interviews🙌🙌
The Marc trade was huge and that raptors Team was full of characters and leaders. Such a loveable team
Remember watching Rico Hines runs 2018 and toronto squad was balling
Godddddd such a good shot and good game/series, that was a great time to be a raps fan
One of those shots where you remember exactly where you were. I was at my dining table on my phone watching it
The two most memorable moments are against Philly teams
What was the other? Ben lol?
@@j.rjunior5584 touch em all Joe carter's home run
can’t wait to see the whole episode
jj talking bout joe carter is amazing
I traded DeRozan for Siakam about a week and a half ago in my fantasy league and this recent 52 pt game made me so glad I did 😅
It was hard, as I love DeRozan on and off the court yet I remembered Tommy talkin Pascal up at the beginning of this season and totally agreed with him. Thanks Tommy!
76ers and their fans love acting like if kawhi didn’t make that shot they instantly would of won a ring 🤣🤣🤣
That team was stacked.
They would've no doubt
we would of fried the Bucks and the Warriors were hurt lol
Bro if kawhi hit his free throw, jimmys bucket would put them down by 1... wouldnt need the kawhi shot.
@@toyatom7929 W
One of the most iconic shots in nba history.
Big props to Pascal Siakam for getting better every year
Jj’s pain makes this discussion so much better
greatest shot I ever witnessed real time
You gotta make the beginning of this video a meme with pascal’s laugh😂😂😂
As a Canadian. And a massive sports fan. I got a ton of respect for JJ knowing canadian sports history. Inwpuldve loved it if he played for the raps
The shot heard around the world!
Best shot in Raptors history 👏
siakam so chill
That felt MUCH SLOWER replaying than it did in the present moment! #'19CHAMPSFOREVER
Great guest. He actually has a personality.
I was at the game when kawhi hit that shot....it was insane toronto went alive for 45 city blocks
Woww thank jj
one thing never brought up about the shot is how Kawhi just kept bodying Embiid for 7 games in the paint instead of settling for jumpers, only to hit a gamewinner over him that's literally inches away from getting blocked
Pascal is the dude!!!!
As a raps fan that shot gives me chills
What he says is so true lol. If kawhi is not playing, other players get to shoot so many more shots! It is a good thing once in awhile
Greatest one and DONE in the history of Basketball 🥵
Leonard's "wait for it" body language played an epic part too
We’ll miss you P 😢🇨🇦
Man jj know his Toronto sports
Kawhi did the same shot against Portland I was at that game that year was a great year for my home team look at the same shot kahwi did against Portland
Ain’t nobody talking about how the ball was like a magnet with the unnatural bounce
Siakam came a long way & still going up
I made that same comment on that same fans video page, the view behind Torontos bench... Kawhi had traveled before he started dribbling and got a running start.
I wonder did he see my comment under that video
Kawhi will never top that season, that was peak Kawhi, he's still gonna be great though
I really want someone to talk to anyone on that Raps team about game 3 in the ECF - that game was the most important game in Raptors history
The funny thing is after stumbling on this video, I never realized how WIDE OPEN Siakam was on that shot? And that's the crazy thing! Even him feeling like a spectator watching it. It's like he wasn't even there!
IT ISNT CRAZY TO COMPARE KAWHI’S GAME TO MJ’S AT ALL. Been saying that after the first 10 games he was here in the dot
Pascal: tha mann with a million spin moves
He doesn’t hit that shot without load management outside of his talent of course but I think the way he goes about the season works well for him cause he hoops at the highest level all the time well for the most part great insight by p skills
props for the Veja shoes
Zaza pachulia low key almost fully ruined Kawhi for us. Kawhi been turning up and I bet if he never went down with that injury they would have beat Golden state
Spicy P lowkey got one of the best signature logos 💡
