Toronto, ON - An estimated 1.5 Million Toronto Raptors fans lined the streets of Toronto, with some people arriving days earlier to secure their spot on the parade route. So many fans crowded the streets that the parade was delayed hours from its final destination of Nathan Phillips Square. Once arriving in the square, the celebration reached its pinnacle as MLSE Staff, Raptors Front Office Members, Raptors players and even the Canadian Prime Minister gave congratulatory speeches to the city.
While Raptors fans should embrace this moment for a long time, eyes will quickly turn to free agency and questions surrounding Kawhi's return will take centre stage.
