For three-and-a-half weeks, from May 20 through June 13, 2019, Fred VanVleet was the king of the world. His son Fred Jr. was born on the 20th; on the 21st, he scored 13 points (on 5-of-6 shooting) with six assists as the Raptors blew out the Milwaukee Bucks to even the Eastern Conference Finals at 2-2.
VanVleet averaged 16 ppg on .680 shooting over the final three games of that series as the Raptors knocked off the Bucks, then went on to average 14 ppg on .444 shooting in the NBA Finals, all while making Steph Curry miserable on the other end (and getting a tooth knocked out and a black eye in the process).
