Raptors fans react to first ever NBA Finals berth
The Toronto Raptors are going to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. We needed to write it down to believe it, too.
When it became evident that this development wasn’t a mirage, Raptors fans were sent into pandemonium.
Let’s start with Drake, the most famous Raptors fan of all. The OVO rapper has been the lead antagonist throughout the series, and emphatically kissed the Bucks goodbye.

Drake wasn’t the only musician in on the act, as Max Kerman of The Arkells also lost it, too.

Toronto may as well be officially a Raptors town now, and the Maple Leafs were thrilled to offer up their support.
