Congratulations to the Raptors

Since I'm a Jeremy Lin fan, I became a Raptors fan when he got traded there for the playoffs. Unfortunately, he didn't play much, I think because he had some problems with back spasms and Fred VanVleet played out of his mind.

Anyway, I had fun following the Raptors during their run and it's nice to see a team win that hasn't won before. I like Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr, but it's nice to see a change.

A few thoughts:

• I didn't know Nick Nurse is from Iowa (Carroll) and played at UNI. That's fun.
• If you stretch it, Steve Kerr also has an Iowa connection: he played for Lute Olson at Arizona.

And a story I read: The Raptors’ Championship Doesn’t Deserve An Asterisk.
