The Toronto Raptors celebrated their championship title last night with the banner raising and getting their Championship rings!
The rings are Canadian made, each with a personal message and have over 650 diamonds!
The longest-serving Raptor Kyle Lowry drew the biggest cheer, as he carefully looked over the ring before putting it on his finger. He never stopped smiling as the fans roared and Lowry showed off his prize to the crowd.
Fireworks blasted, We Are the Champions played, and the massive new 2019 World Champion banner, with all the Raptors names etched in the red trimming, was lit up.
A shimmering gold Larry O’Brien trophy sits in the middle of it, the championship banner is now hanging from the Scotiabank Arena rafters — Maple Leafs greats Frank Mahovlich and Wendel Clark banners on one side, Stanley Cup banners on the other.
It was an exquisite affair fit for first-time champions that lasted nearly 30 minutes!
The Raps continued the party by winning the game defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 130-122 in overtime.
GO RAPS GO, let’s do a repeat!
