There hasn’t been like a Raptors team like this one, and with the franchise’s first ever NBA championship in tow, there certainly hasn’t been Raptors worship like this before. The energy in the city is just next level right now.

Passersby even found a shrine dedicated to ‘Saint Nick’ Nurse in downtown Toronto, near the corner of Wellington and John.

 

We love it. Raptors fans should ride this wave for however long it lasts, because it isn’t often at all that you get to celebrate your team’s first ever championship.

Coaches rarely gets the spotlight for winning it all, much less anybody in their first year, but that just goes to show the excitement in the fanbase after what Nurse and the Raps have been able to accomplish. Just look at this thunderous ovation he got after arriving back in Toronto!
