[Highlight] Brandon Ingram proves why he’s a hooper’s hooper, getting the final bucket of the game with a clutch 2 to put the Raptors in the lead | Pacers fail to score on the final possession with 0.6 on the clock
The Notorious B I 3‼️
One the hardest names rn
Slim reefer was dope too but it was derivative of KD. This is his name now lol
Ironic comment lol
Lol at least it’s not another hooper
Dude must be happy af to be in Toronto, where he’s winning and weed is legal.
And he’s got Glorilla jumping on the sidelines.
She looking like a damn my little pony
I was thinkin to myself who is the labubu jumpin over dere
Ranked #55 on The Ringer list. Lmfao
You mean to tell me Mobley is 39 spots better than this dude?? The ringer is a joke
mobley is the most overrated player in years its insane
He’s lucky he can hit 1 3 a game otherwise he would just be Rudy Gobert with worse defense
And for all the hate on Scottie for stagnating in his development, I need to point out Mobleys PPG has been 16, 16, 18, 18. Literally no improvement outside of a bit of an improved jumper
Sports journalism has been a fucking gongshow since the uptick of sports gambling just being the disgusting norm
Participating is a huge red flag too
Only follow journalists that explicitly stay the fuck away from this slop
I’d rather support a guy shilling fucking magnetic rocks than touching any gambling shit
Mobley was ranked #16 and even the Cavs fan base laughed at the rankings….so, don’t put to much weight in those rankings lol
I mean he’ll be higher in the next list if he keeps playing great. Was he balling like this the last few years?
He had that one good year with the pelicans but has struggled with health most of his time there. He’s always been a bucket when healthy. Especially mid range
Yeah. He was just hurt and on some bad teams a few years but even when the Pels were nice he was their main dude and that’s with Zion missing games. He did however say he’s playing the best he ever has because Darko believes in him.
Partially, but no one watches Pels games. He’s definitely flourishing in Toronto though
The Ringer dingbats also had the Mavs as a top 3 team in the West and the Lakers as a play-in team. They had the Warriors as the only legit threat to the Thunder. You have to really try to be this wrong
All of that gives credence to the theory that these aren’t real opinions and are just engagement bait.
someone on there also called notorious bi3 one of the worst nicknames in the league. and ranked mobley #16 lmfao
ETHICAL
BUCKETS
Great defense on the possession before too, Poeltl blocked the shit out of Siakam.
Yeah, that was a monster block
A friendship ender
the pb and j is over
Poeltl blocked the shit out of Siakam.
Imagine hearing this in 2018.
“Wait. One of them got traded from Toronto?”
“They both got traded from Toronto.”
“So this play is not from a Raps game?”
“Oh, it is.”
“uhhh. So which one is on the Raptors now?”
“Not the one who won the ring with them, obviously.”
Singapore jails are stingy with the whole NBA pass.
Felt like when Lowry stripped Deebo leading to the game winner for Toronto back in the day
Pascal got bullied all night
Getting 4 fouls early will do that.
The Refs were a bunch of basketball terrorists tonight
I didn’t see Poeltl there so when Siakam was making his step through, my heart sank. Then the Austrian Hammer flies in and erases the shot!
dude has never heard the arena this loud during his tenure in New Orleans
he fucking loves Toronto man
toronto is a big step up compared to new orleans lol big market vs small market
Big market*
^(*That no one wants to sign with in free agency. At least in the NBA, I know the Jays just signed Cease to a huge contract and they got Santander the season prior.)
It’s mostly just cause its a different country and taxes. Every athlete who plays here loves it, idk why the perception isn’t better
And it’s not even that different compared to the US lol Americans are so soft jfc
Yeah, I’m obviously biased but Toronto is such a great place to live for a rich Athlete. Way better than a lot of other NBA cities
Ranked 6th safest city in the world
I’m pretty sure it’s the taxes that most people don’t want to deal with
The perception of the taxes is worse than the reality. They pay federal income taxes to Canada and then they get credited for that. They compare that credit to what they would’ve paid in the states and if it’s equal to or more, then no more taxes are owed and if less than, they pay the amount left over. I looked it up once and the credit is like 90% so there really isn’t that much difference
These guys are all paying accountants(or should be) anyways, so the tax part is moot. It sucks having to cross the border all the time, especially to try and get their family and friends tickets to the games. That’s the big thing that former players complain about all the time.
It’s also weather. Jays legit don’t have that problem.
You seen the weather in the Northern states and cities that are further North than T.O? You seen the impact of weather disasters in costal or bone dry US cities?
How about having to deal with only 41 games of which perhaps half might be during cold or snowy days? That’s not too bad considering you’re living in a condo, car’s in a heated garage, drive to a heated garage in the arena, never have to go outside?
I’m not saying that summer in Toronto is not more fun than winter, it is. Jays have a better season. But the Toronto winter season impact on NBA players is probably more overblown in perception than is the reality. Agree, it’s hard to convince American players and their families.
things are changing in toronto.. we got a big signing in dylan like u said. We are here for it
The Jays missed out on Soto and Ohtani but I feel they’ve never had too many issues signing FA’s in recent years. Ryu, Springer, Gausman, Santander, now Cease and hopefully more.
I feel as tho the NBA and its culture is different. It’s obviously an easier sell to get guys to come to Toronto during summer time, but it feels much harder for TO to be an attractive FA destination for NBA players.
For what it’s worth, it was reported that when given a choice between traded to Atlanta or Toronto, Ingram chose Toronto. So give the dude credit–he actually wanted to be in Toronto, albeit in a 2 option scenario.
And we love Him!!!!
We love him
Most that come here do.
Hey we had that one game against Phoenix in the first round where the blender was rocking
That one postseason gave Willie Green job security that lasted until this month
#FUCK YOU ED ROGERS YOU FAT UGLY FUCKHEAD
Dude is an incompetent ass who canned a great president for no reason other than ego lmao what a loser
I mean he also canned him because Ed Rogers is a racist fuckwit jealous of a black man who earned his success & wanted to be paid for it instead of inheriting it from daddy
Me and my homies hate Ed rogers AND the guard that beefed Masai when the raps won
I will never forgive that mf for ruining Masai’s championship moment
Yup.
That and the pussy fuck Rangers beaning and sucker punching Batista.
I’ll never let it go.
Ed Rogers married a fucking stripper from sudbury and celebrates at mar a lago. fuck him
My grandmother grew up in Sudbury and said it was a shithole (in grandma terms)
it’s a mining town and the people are tough but fair.
I wish I could upvote this more than once
Well, that and money… after the acquisition went through they cut front office costs across the company, they fired Shanahan the Leafs POHO a few weeks before. Both Shanahan and Masai were at the very top end of salaries for their roles.
But agreed Fuck Ed Rodgers, guys a total nepobaby fuckwit.
Ok but Shanahan deserved it
Say it after Christmas, they’re spending alot right now on the jays lol. Wait till we sign our free agents lol
💯 I apologize on their behalf Ed. Keep that wallet open for Bo and Kyle Tucker
true true
At least we just got a Dylan that spits hot fyah.
YA TOO CLOSE MAN
Fuck that Trump supporting, low energy goblin
I also am thanking him today for spending so much on cease tho lol
Yup, it’s horrible to say but with all the American old money in baseball ownership, Ed is probably one of the least shitty owners in that league. In this league though he’s up there with the Adelsons
Masai is the reverse Nico Harrison lmao
Glad the Raptors are doing well in spite of their crappy ownership.
Never should have let him go.
He was the perfect constant professional awesome organization figurehead.
He should be kissing Masai feet right now
Even if they manage to get BO and Kyle Tucker for the Jays, FUCK ED ROGERS
He took 3 straight jumpers but god the last was beautiful
Yall built this damn team like the 24 Celtics and its looking beastly rn
Camera cuts right to his girl lmao
Lil jumps
The nba’s Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, they gotta milk it
There’s also Meg and Klay. But I don’t know if she goes to games. GloRilla been at like every game on this win streak it feels like
Well also she’s sucking the soul out the boy. Space jam style. Bi3 is balling atm.
real wholesome
bro i thought that was a mascot
GloRaptor
GloRonto
NOTORIOUS BI3
Such a cold name
Feels like it’s been a decade since we hit a last minute clutch shot like that
like 5 and a half years or so.
Bounce bounce bounce
Bounce
GAME
SERIES
TORONTO HAS WON
FIFTEEN FOURTH QUARTER POINTS FOR KAWHI LEONARD
AND THE GAME WINNER
41 POINTS!
If we’re talking regular season, Siakam had one of the more recent ones, ironically.
Is this the dagger??
OOOoooOOOOHHHhhhhHHhhhhHHHH
Jakobe walter
Masai’s last gift
Ed Rogers realizing he fucked up firing the Masai-ah
He did not fuck up, he did it knowing the Raptors would be good this year and he would have to meet Masai’s demands regarding the contract.
Bobby has been doing a lot more behind the scenes too. It wasnt only masai
him getting Mamu has been so huge for us ngl
But why would the Raptors trade for Ingram when they could’ve had Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk? -Literally every US national media members in the off season
Some of those dudes need to take a long look in the mirror after what they said about the Raps
It’s a bunch of keyboard warriors who have never touched a ball writing clock bait articles.
Cowboy Bruce’s heart was always in Denver. Meant to be there. We were asking Kelly to do too much; I wouldn’t be shocked if he retired here on a vet min - new Unc after Garrett becomes a coach. If anything, it was cool to have him, Boucher, Barrett and AJ Lawson all here for the 30th season as a manifestation of what the Raptors did for Canadian basketball
They gave that trade a C- for the Raptors 😅
what the fuck is happening in toronto
We might be back
YEAH… I’M THINKING WE’RE BACK!!!
If yall start to embrace your John Wick era especially with winter coming, it’s gonna be scary up there…
DA KING IN DA NORF
Jays inspired us
Or at least the Raptors, the Leafs are going through some serious depression
The Leafs felt that shot all the way down in Columbus and scored in overtime to win the game.
Well fuck
Chances the Leafs keep their pick just went down so Pyrrhic victory for them
Friendship.
And winning
All star this man
MVP this man my god
No, let him rest. Every minute he plays is tempting fate, I hate to say - that’s why we got him for so cheap
Happy for BI great player
Not bad for a guy that’s “overpaid” and was the “worst trade ever” last year that “made no sense”
Right. How thick is that receipt file?
Shout out to homegirl who was fucking up the hardwood jumping up and down with her heels lmfao.
That was GloRilla, BI’s girlfriend
I just realized how deep I am in my own Spotify algorithm when I in my early 30s have no idea who that is
Wait till you’re in your 50s and you have no idea who anyone is.
Me still jamming out to Dire Straits all day every day
It’s fine. These NBA cup courts should be destroyed. She’s just doing us a favor.
Fuck it’s so nice to have a squad again
This clip needs the full sequence with Jak’s block on Pascal.
Electric stuff.
(NBA, more of this, please. Cut down on those fouls and timeouts.)
Bro did that on Pascal in Toronto big respect
THAT’S MY ALLSTAR !!!
Honestly the best part about all this for me is seeing how happy Scottie is for BI.
This is supposed to be Scotties team, BI gets traded here and he’s putting up clutch performance after clutch performance, and I don’t see an ounce of jealousy from Scottie - only pure joy that the Raps are winning again. Fuckin love to see it
Well even in Montverde, Scottie deferred to Cade. I think being the Swiss Army knife player suits him a lot more. He’s at his best when setting up his teammates for easier buckets and playing great help defense. He scores when the team needs him too and his read on the defense allows him to.
I’m just glad he knows that, ya know? So often we see guys try to be THE guy and force it and its to the detriment of the team, all I see with Scottie is a desire to win at all costs. Its easy for fans to comment and say what should be, but when players actually understand their best roles we get to see the best version of the game
It’s still Scottie’s team, the entire team including BI think of him as their leader and he has more overall impact on the game than anyone else on the team.
Can’t believe how consistent and solid he’s been for us. Fucking love it.
Seems like he loves it here too. He never looked this happy in LA or NO, I thought it might just be a personality thing that he seemed disengaged but he’s locked in Toronto
Scottie yelling He’s Him was chefs Kiss!!
The power of friendship unlocked peak BI
wow the decision to not call timeout and go iso.
the raptors have a closer!
Pels should have never let this guy go…dude is looking like a super star on the Raps
It just goes to show you what good coaching and a good organization can do for talented player….the Raps look like contenders this season, my God! that Ingram and Scottie combo has fit like a glove
He struggled to play over 40-50 games a season and wanted 40+ million, looks good now but his injury history with us was a massive red flag.
Alex McKechnie the GOAT
Fair enough, but the guy has looked like an absolute terror now that the rust is shaken off. I guess the Raps took a gamble on him and it’s paying off…
After so many Pels players have dealt with injuries and what Dyson said, it just might be the org tbh. Too much voodoo in NO
THIS is the man that put the fear of god into the suns in round 1 a few years ago
Glorilla is at every home game… The raptors are back baby 😭
Glorilla > Drake
Absolutely nasty
Unfazed by the pressure
Thank you, u/heatfan
I’m more offended by the Jakob Poeltl placement
How the hell do you put Mitchell Robinson’s part-time ass over Jake Puddle?
TARIFF MY FUCKING BALLS
I think everybody that followed Ingram knew he was a bucket getter.
He’s not a household superstar but he’s always been consistent getting his own.
Ain’t nobody doing shit in New Orleans.
Now that he has help, it’s no surprise his impact is being felt. Happy for the kid, he deserves a decent shot in the playoffs.
Look at Glorilla, that’s how I’d want my girl to react too. 😎
Knew it was money off the jump 🤙🏾
Your favorite players favorite player
Gotta show the Poeltl block as well
Pretty cold how he received the ball basically said “it’s over for you fellas”.
I’m a BI-sexual
Will always support this guy even though he has a water bottle throwing problem
Yo fuck that water bottle.
55th best player btw
This team is so fun
Toronto games look so fun! It’s like the whole country’s energy and excitement packed into one arena.
Happy as fuck for BI, Pels gotta be distraught right now
THE SLIM REEFER STRIKES AGAIN!
Wow, raps are pretty good for a team with no top 30 players (as per the ringer).
Wow that guy is really good, whoever traded him to the Raptors must have gotten a haul right?? Right???
Yeah he was traded for a top pick in this years loaded draft, surely they kept it after swapping theirs, right?
Let’s fucking go 9 in a row!
Gotta love Scottie’s THIS IS HIM!
doing this on Siakam feels like it’s ushering in a new era of the Raptors
Like when Kawhi Leonard won the game off a DeRozan turnover in DeRozan’s return to Toronto
Hitting a game winner in front of ur girl gotta be the best feeling ever
Clear out game winners are one of my favorite plays to watch. Like everybody knows what’s going to happen and everybody’s anticipating and hyping it up. So tough when the player delivers 🔥
Brandon Ingram
CLUTCH!
Woke up my girl after that! Haven’t been this hyped for a game in a long ass fucking time!
MVP front runner
I know he’s played less than 25% of the season so far, but i’d take a bullet for Brandon Ingram. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
SHUT THAT BUM SIMMONS UP!!! Not a top player 50 player my ass
I’ve believed in BI since his rookie year. Glad to see him finally on a decent team that utilizes him properly.
Thank you Mr. Ingram! The tank rolls on.
HIM REEFER
Masai really took a bullet for this. Fuck Ed Rogers. Go Raptors.
Title gore
Bro about 2 seconds in you can see the moment he decided to clutch up LMAOO bro accepted the job right then and there
Love the way he grabbed the ball, took his time, and just went for it like it was a pickup ball.
INGRAM ISLAND
Good to see Scotiabank rocking again
