[Highlight] Kyle Lowry checks in the for the 76ers in what is likely the final time he’ll play in Toronto, as Tyrese Maxey amps up the crowd to give Lowry a standing ovation!
Crowd wanted to erupt but he kept fucking missing omg. 0/3 from deep in the last 75 seconds š
Last three went in and out haha. Unlucky.
Canāt imagine a three going out and then in in Toronto
(that shot was a middie. final score 92-90.)
2pt
https://youtu.be/75iExVNvrWw?si=aj5S8SHIitk_RFrH
2 points isn’t 2 points, I’ll explain laterĀ
I know eh, especially in a game 7 buzzer beater. Nope, never.
He shoulda just drawn a charge lmao
He’s 40, no chance he’s tryna take a charge
Hes fucking 40!? Good god man time needs to slow down
Bruh I about lost it when he said this is Kyle’s 20th season.
And yet time will march ever faster
I remember when he was at nova
he was still doing it on the heat what? 2 years ago. wouldn’t surprise me lol
He took one a few weeks ago I think?
Suddenly Siakam out of nowhere spins 8 times and elbows Embiid in the orbital
He seemed like he set up for a cheesy one until the guy with the ball just walked around him to the rim lol. Raptors players wanted to keep playing lol
Should’ve fouled him in the final seconds to get him some freethrows.
Whyāre you acting like heās some make-a-wish kid lmao š
Youll understand when Curry plays his last game in SF.
Agreed. The game is over. I’d have loved to see Lowry rain it
low EQ comment
Weren’t they already? But honestly 0/3 is also part of the Kyle Lowry experience.
Came in the game with 1:57 remaining and a 16-point lead. Not too far off.
Hahaha, this was a lot funnier then it shouldāve been
I donāt think he cares about getting a bucket but the game wasnāt completely over. He wasnāt even getting left alone to try one open. Werenāt giving him points and thatās okay
Not a basketball fan, but that’d be an awesome tradition.
He was honoring the Eagles
Like when Dirk checked in against Boston
That’s hilarious
I don’t know much about Lowry, but he seems like a good dude w a great smile
Happy he got to win a Chip w a city that’ll never forget
[deleted]
I was there, it fucking ruled
Low key think having Lowry on our team is part of the reason there is peace between the Sixers and Raptors despite the history of our toxic fan bases lol
100%. He’s such a good leader and has the type of positive influence. I have no doubt he’s been helping our guys grealty this year. It shows when he’s essentially an assistant coach during the games lol.
Itās Lowry but also itās very hard to hate Edgecomb, Maxey & Mccain.
I love those 3 younger guys & wish they played for any other team but i canāt help but want to see them do well.
It’ll always be fuck the Sixers but you’re right, these guys are awesome and them + Kyle makes this Sixers team harder to root against for sure
That interview with VJ after he got drafted talking about having to use generators & shit when he was growing upā¦ man that hit me hard.
Itās cool to see the younger guys succeed.
ā¦ there’s always Embiid to get us back rooting against them. Lol
All my homies hate Embiid
I wanted us to get Edgecomb so bad last year. Maxey and McCain are 2 of my favourite players. I love that Philly backcourt
Seeing coach Lowry on the sixers warms my heart. Would be cool if he actually wants to coach and ends up on the Raptors later on in life
God how I wish we had him to mentor Quick and Shead
I really hope he would take a coaching assistant job here.
Is this a jab on the Clippers? That’s cold.
No, none at all. Since 2019, we’ve have a toxic relationship to a certain point with the Raptors fanbase, but there’s a lot of mutual respect still (especially with something like this Lowry moment). I don’t even know what Clippers thing you’re even talking about.
i enjoy our friendly rivalry but theres a lot to like about the sixers <3 couple guys here need to learn to move on š
We haven’t met in the playoffs in a while too. But y’all are our only real rival IMO.
The 2001 and 2019 semi finals are incredibly iconic.
i’ll never forget the memes of doc rivers potentially blowing a 3-0 lead in 2022 though
You completely forgot 2022 lol
I think that Embiid shot triggered the most toxicity between the fanbases lmao
And the 1993 World Series.
Sorry!
The cities have also been equally as successful in hockey for the past ~50 years.
The last team we played in the playoffs was the sixersā¦ scottie almost had a triple double in his first game till he got injured š„²
It’s early and your flair had me confused. I was like wtf does Lebanon have to do with Philly and Toronto lol.
Lebanese fan of the Raptors lol
Who is WE?
I am a raptors fan. In this case, we = Raps/Sixers
Emphasis on the “part”
VJ and Maxey are just way too nice to dislike. Still not a fan of Embiid and how reckless he plays, but game recognize game and those two youngsters have it
100% right whenever I check the game scores I’m like “okay the Sixers won that’s dope”
I feel like its natural to want your rivals to succeed (not against you, naturally). You don’t want to end up like Kings v Golden State.
Ehhh, it really depends on the team.
I’m a Michigan fan. The MSU rivalry is better when they’re a good team; I’d be cool with them going 12-1 each year so long as the 1 is against us.
OSU can go rot in hell though
Ultimate Glue Guy.
I dont think raptor fans hate Philly, they just hate embiid.
Toronto and Philly have a lot of history crossing multiple sports
It’s all brotherly love until our baseball teams meet in October š
After the 2019 Semis yāall absolutely hated each other. Itās crazy to see the fanbases on relatively good terms now
Maxey and Sct Brn also bonded in that rising star event
And Embiid is literally the only remaining guy on either team from the Kawhi year if you exclude Nurse. Kurkmaz and Tobias were the two other longest tenured sixers when they were here š now itās Maxey
I may not like the 76ers, but I do respect how much love they seem to have for Kyle. I am glad he gets to finish his career somewhere that he’s wanted. Plus he’s gonna sign that 1 day for us anyways next season so we’re all good.
Maxeyās post game interview on the local broadcast was just praising Lowry.
Dude almost got emotional
He’s perfect considering we have a bunch of young guards that probably grew up watching him play, plus he’s a Philly guy which helps from the fan side of things. He’s probably got one of the cooler careers from a player’s perspective too. Became a legend in one city, got a ring, and gets to close out his career in his hometown.
Lowry is the man, super likable, has played every game since college as hard as he possibly can, and he’s just a damn good basketball player. Deserves the love.
It was always a meme that heād come to Philly and when we finally did get him he was well past his prime but heās been awesome as a player coach. Heās always barking and pointing advice from the bench and smiling when guys check out and sit
This is Lowry’s 20th season?! Crazy how time flies and he doesn’t look that old. Good on him.
It’s acombination of his baby face and being a late bloomer. He didn’t become a starter until his 5th season, and didn’t become an all-star until his 9th season.
Also joining the league as young as he did. Can make it to 20 that way. Remember when he ignored all the advice to stay in school (whether that was right or wrong)
I mean it worked out well enough for him. Heās a 6 time all-star, all-NBA, the (spiritual) leader of an iconic championship team, and the greatest player of all time for an NBA franchise, which only 29 other people in the world can say about themselves.
Lowry was very much the leader of the 2019 Raptors. The best player isnāt always the team captain.
I understand this I just knew that if I didnāt qualify the statement somehow Iād have some idiot underneath my comment talking about Kawhi.
This guy reddits
Fr Lebron should learn a thing or two from Lowry
Lebron would sacrifice 10 newborn babies if it meant he could have Kyleās hair lmao
I was thinking the same thing.
Kyle Lowry and Kevin Willis both played in the 2006-2007 season, although they never faced each other.
Respect, Toronto ā
We’ll always love him
Nick Nurse is for the people(of Toronto)
Tbf he almost didnāt ššš, fair play to Darko for just subbing in the bench at 3 min
Darko forced Nickās hand by subbing all bench and intentional fouling. And then Embiid and Maxey were kinda forcing him too
He did draw up that play after the last timeout he took for a Lowry three.
Kyle Lowry ain’t no spot up shooter. He ain’t gotta run to the corner to shoot like he’s some 3rd option, bitch. This ain’t JJ Redick. This is a fuckin god human Steph Curry come again. Only this time he’s not a fuckin pussy… pull up from the fuckin logo and fight you at the same time.
All time classic. #1 nba pasta imo
It’s been far too long since I’ve read this…
the āonly this time heās not a fuckin pussyā part takes me out every time
I so badly wanted that last shot to go in, love Lowry though. Fun games as always Philly
Great announcing work!!! L-L-L-LOWRY
Edit: oh wow this video doesn’t include the announcer
https://bsky.app/profile/phlysprtsreprts.bsky.social/post/3mcbknrnmxs2t
Used to get to hear that every game
From North Philly…
To your city…
This kinda got me emotional
I was really hoping he was gonna get some variant of this intro…
Man the Canadian broadcast did not do him justice. This one is much better.
one of the coolest moments of the year already
Prime Lowry was special
ā¦ the Bulldog!
I really think people donāt understand how good he was at his peak. Easily a top 5 point guard guard in the nba for a few years there all the advanced stats backed it up
This is the kind of stuff that makes me love sport. The day-to-day competition is fun, but honoring a guy like this for his loyalty and it meaning the world to him is so human. Just like Luka crying during his tribute video then dropping 50 while the Mavs fans cheered him on was also incredible.
I’m legit crying right now in front of my wife. If he does end up signing the one-day contract like he said he would, I will shed a waterfall :(
We lost by 30 so NN can play Lowry
Any chance he can sign a one-day contract and retire here
He said he would, which is awesome.
stop trying to steal our assistant coach
Big booties coming home
Very thoughtful of the raptors to get blown out so that Lowry can check in ā¤ļø
Philly fans couldnāt afford losing 3 big games in just over 24 hours š
GROATĀ
It was meant to be a blowout
love to see it
Got blue balled by that one 3 rimming out lol. Either way glad we were able to give him his moment one last time.
Maxey is a good kid.
Beyond deserved. Greatest to ever put on the jersey.
Announced him like he was a part of the team (which he is, forever). Great stuff
Just a great all around moment for everyone
So classy of us to throw this game and allow Lowry to get some burn for the fans sake
Thats Toronto Raptor’s Big Booty Legend
Such a fucking cool moment, there were almost half a dozen different “WE WANT LOWRY, šš, ššš” chants in the 2nd half.
Love that the Sixers teammates kept giving him dribble handoffs and stuff when the game was sealed in the last minute.
Worth every penny of admission for the GROAT
I had to defend this man through so much slander over the years, and I’d do it again in a heartbeatš„²
I wish it was Embiid waving his arms up so the Raps fans canāt decide whether to cheer for Lowry or boo Embiid
Kyle was getting cheers regardless of who did it.
Weāll never boo Kyle
That was beautiful
What a run he had man. What a fuckin leader he was.
Very cool, Toronto.Ā
Maxey is cool af
That’s my GROAT š„ŗ
Love the wholesomeness of Maxey telling the crowd to cheer. Great sportsmanship.
Maxey loved making fans cheer as the road team. Pretty unique to be able to do so
itās been a looooooong day, without you my friendā¦
Genuinely love that for him
GROAT I LOVE YOU
Video cuts off. Did he immediately take a charge?
He aināt takin no charges in his ripe age, he went 0/3 on threes tho lmao
Damn man all the dudes I grew up watching in high school and college are retiring. Big name stars from back then are on teams I didnāt even realize acquired them this year(havenāt kept up with hoops in the last 2-3 years). The league is changing before my eyes, damn. Is this what getting old feels like?
It’s wild how a single player can be the bridge that turns a toxic rivalry into a moment of pure respect like this.
Thats my GROAT <3
Beautiful moment! Great sign of respect. Stay classy Toronto!
All love.
GROAT
Thatās my GROAT
My GOAT š«”
The whole arena was chanting āwe want Lowryā the whole 4th. Thank you Kyle!
Man I love this
Final game? Is he retiring?
Final game in Toronto most likely.
Due to his retirement?
Yeah he talked about wanting to hit 20 seasons because thereās big benefits when you get to that mark. And this is his 20th season and heās basically a coach this year anyways. Heāll sign a one day with the Raptors and heāll hang em up.
Man, I’m already quaking in my boots just thinking about what kind of obscene price the tickets would go for for that game.
what are the benefits? like pension/healthcare stuff?
Ahh i sse thanks
Heāll sign a one day with the Raptors and heāll hang em up.
I’m out of the loop on this one. But if he does sign the one day, that means this Sixers game is not his last Toronto appearance? š¤
Idk, I feel like a 4⁄5 playoff matchup is not crazy
But definitely last reg Season game so means something either way
GROAT. Crowd was calling we want Lowry on and off from 4mins to go. Worth the price of admission for this moment as the game itself wasn’t lol.
That was awesome, wish he had hit a 3 but still a great moment for a Raptors legend
Would be could if both teams stay at the 4 and 5 seeds for the playoffs
Seeing him miss those last shots was painful, but the crowd’s love for him never wavered. He’s a true franchise legend who somehow even helps keep the peace between these fanbases.
Dad’s home.
When people talk about the greatest raptor of all time and don’t say Lowry its either they are a casual raps fan or not a raps fan in which case it doesn’t matter what they think cause they don’t know raps ball.
I fucking love Kyle Lowry
This is nice
Lowry thick
thats my PG
Awesome shit. You absolutely love to see it.
Pure class.
Not a big basketball guy buy saw this earlier today. Between the way the crowd was chanting, the Sixer players were getting excited for him and the post game interview with Maxey I thought this was in Philly. Sports needs more moments like this.
“Greatest Raptor of all time” The disrespect to Rafael Araujo.
Is he retiring?
I love that man so much
Thank you Kyle!
Big kyle
Is someone clapping right next to the mic lmao
I was there. Love ya, Kyle š¦ š
amazing
Cannot believe he played this long. Always thought heāll be like any other role player and just play like 8 years in the nba. Iām a rockets fan and remember him playing with Yao Ming as a rookie. I remember the bulldog he was. Good for him for maximizing his skills. People his stature have come and gone. Crazy
Wait is this Lowrys last year?
Enough to make a grown man cry respect number 7 š«”š«”š«”
āIn his 20th seasonā just made my back hurt
Nice
Is he retiring after this season?
Raptors legend
Man the Lowry DDR bromance Raptors feels like forever ago.
