NBA Finals Recap - Toronto Raptors 2019 NBA Champions!

Yes, we all believed!  
Toronto Raptors are the 2019 NBA Champions!

They have beaten the Invincible Golden State Warriors Team that was plagued with injuries coming to the finals.
Included in the Injury Lists is Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson who tried to make a comeback but was ably contained by super performances by Superstar Kawhi Leonard and a hardworking Raptors crew of Pascal Siakam, Kyle Lowry, Fred Van Vleet, etc.

It was also a miracle gift for unsung hero player - Jeremy Lin (Linsanity) who was traded to the Raptors halfway of the season and was instrumental in providing fresh legs during the regular season.  He was earlier plagued with injuries prior to the Championship season.

It was the First Championship for the Canadian franchise which joined the NBA since 1995.





Lebron James 2020

LBJ Updates..

After leaving Miami where he got his 2 rings, Lebron was able to give in 2016 the Cavaliers their first ever Championship Title against Golden State Warriors.

Golden State later continued on to win Back-to-Back Dynasty Rings after Lebron brought the Cavs again to the finals the next year and lost.

He later moved over to the Lakers where he suffered an injury in 2018 for a losing cause of hope for a playoffs run.

The Lakers in 2019-2020 are in a good run for Playoffs and Finals contention following the arrival of Anthony Davis who opted to join forces with Lebron.

Kobe's Legacy in Life and Death


Kobe Bean Bryant  
1978 - 2020

It was a devasting news for the Hoops World.

Kobe is the best definition for Basketball - Love and Hate, both Good and Bad.  His Legacy of Glory, Honor and Controversy are already written in the future Hall of Fame. 

All his entire colourful career he has experienced the extremes in Life. He has his Loyal Devouted Fans which ranges from Actors, Politicians and Common Folks.While on the other side Longtime Gritty Haters such as the Boston Garden and MJ comparison and Laker Critics including Shaq's followers.

He retired from Basketball since 2016, but has since transcended himself as Mentor, Consultant and Ambassador for the World of Hoops.

The Old Fame of Hate and Glory for Rings and Trophies, has been replaced by Global Basketball Guru and Father Figure.

It is so sad to see a Basketball Legend like him to pass away in such tragic fashion.  It is much more sadder knowing his loving daughter Gigi also an aspiring Basketball star, died together with him in his loving arms.

Rest In Peace Mamba and Mambacita..
