This Day In Raptors History: Toronto Wins NBA Championship

Unfortunately, Durant and Thompson suffered injuries that plagued Golden State from being able to compete with the Raptors.

Regardless, Toronto took advantage of this opportunity and was able to defeat the Warriors 114-110 in Game 6 at Oracle Arena

Leonard only spent one year in Canada, but it became well worth it due to winning a championship. He averaged 26.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals on 49.6 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from 3.

However, there remained a significant supporting cast surrounding Leonard with Pascal Siakam, Serge Ibaka, Marc Gasol, Danny Green, Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell, O.G. Anunoby and Fred VanVleet.

All of those names played a monumental role in that 2018-19 season and for some that stayed beyond that season.

Ultimately, things did not pan out after that 2019 championship by building around Anunoby, VanVleet, Siakam and Lowry.

After some mediocrity, president Masai Ujiri drafted Scottie Barnes and decided to build around him. Resulting in Lowry, Siakam, Anunoby and VanVleet leaving in free agency or trade.

Hopefully, Toronto can get back into the mix with Barnes and his new running mates RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley.

Former Raptors champion Serge Ibaka signs with Real Madrid of Liga ACB

After leaving Toronto, Serge Ibaka struggled to remain a rotation player for a playoff team. Now, he is signing with Real Madrid of Liga ACB next season to hopefully keep his career alive.
