As Kawhi Leonard’s historic buzzer-beater (the first of its kind in a playoff game seven) dropped, the Toronto Raptors home crowd reached a fever pitch. People high-fiving, hugging, and screaming out of elation. The players on the floor surging around Leonard himself, as even he couldn’t help but let the emotions flow. Cameras captured every moment as the city of Toronto rejoiced.
What none of the television cameras caught, though, was Leonard’s uncle, ‘Uncle Dennis,’ hamming it up and sharing this enormous moment with top Raptors brass; the likes of Masai Ujiri, Larry Tanenbaum, and others.
