As a Raptors fan, there is, alongside all the dread, pleasure to be found in seeing your team be part of one of the great spectacles in the history of the game
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to watch a comet streaking toward the earth and to be aware, in the moments before your certain death, that you are watching something incredibly rare and incredibly beautiful that will nonetheless be incredibly fatal to you and everyone you care about, then I would invite you to watch Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry for a single offensive possession, any possession really, as a fan of the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals.
“There is this constant feeling of fullness and potential when he’s on the floor,” said Nathaniel Friedman, who writes about basketball for GQ. It is like nothing else in the game. It warps the geography of the court. “You are acutely aware of the fact that something aesthetically powerful but also game changing … could just happen at any moment,” Friedman said.
The NBA Finals will be over in less than two weeks. The Raptors will win or they won’t. But the joys of the experience shouldn’t be lost either way. No matter what else happens, Raptors fans are getting to see, alongside the gritty intensity and push of their own team, a show that demonstrates the best of what basketball can be.
As Curry ran toward the basket, three Raptors followed him, while a fourth, Marc Gasol, stayed in the lane. With all the attention on Curry, Livingston passed the ball to an open Andre Iguodala who had a full second and a half to shoot. He hit the three, his first of the series, and the game was done.
