We’re a few days removed from what is widely considered one of the most significant moments in Toronto Raptors franchise history and people are still talking about it. The now-iconic Kawhi Leonard buzzer-beater that seemed to float in the air for half an hour before clanging around the rim and falling in has produced some fantastic edits, but there may be none better than this.
If you’re sick of seeing the shot, don’t bother watching, because this is one of the most long and drawn-out versions of it. It is also the version that is potentially most likely to leave you covered in goosebumps, watching a play you’ve likely seen a hundred times by now. That’s special.
The edit was posted by Bleacher Report, and it was done in the style of an Instagram story video. Within it, they used a bunch of fan videos to give it a real authentic feel. Mix that in with The Roots and John Legend playing “The Fire”, and Oooo baby, you’ve got yourself a stew!
Since the shot heard around the basketball world, we’ve seen lots of edits. Some of them are simple dubs of famous audio or music overtop, others are nuance videos such as the shot as heard in different languages.
No matter how you slice it, a shot like that is always sure to produce some fire content.
We’ll see if Kawhi and the Raps have any more magic in the East Finals. They may need it against Giannis and the high-flying Milwaukee Bucks.
