It’s a good time to be a Toronto Raptors fan. Whether you’ve been around for a long time, or you hopped on the bandwagon (which there is NOTHING WRONG WITH), the Raps run to an NBA Championship was quite a ride.
It was also full of memorable moments. From Kawhi’s Game 7 buzzer-beater, to Drake’s antics, to Fred VanVleet’s son being born, to the team lifting the trophy – it was a special run for all those involved.
Right up there in the special moments category was Marc Gasol’s parade. His ENTIRE parade.
Gasol could be seen partying on the bus all day long. While every Raptor had a smile on their face, nobody looked quite as thrilled as the big man from Spain. He was the Alex Ovechkin of the Raptors Championship.
Gasol himself compared his parade day to a different legendary performance – Freddie Mercury’s famous performance at Wembley Stadium.
As part of a Raptors-themed series of illustrations, graphic designer and illustrator Kevin Limeback created an epic depiction of Marc Gasol on Freddie Mercury’s body.
Here are a look at some of the other sweet illustrations Kevin has done.
He even got a shoutout from Nav and Matt Devlin!
