Full disclosure: Though I live in Syracuse (which has a not-too-shabby college basketball team,) I pay no attention to sports. However, I was in TORONTO the night the Raptors won the championship, and you're right - all of Canada lost its collective mind. On Younge Street, it felt like the announcement of the end of WWII. I watched the final quarter outside an open-air bar that was MOBBED inside, and the tight playing on both sides was amazing. When the final buzzer rang, the city absolutely ERUPTED - I'll bet you could've heard the cheers three miles away. It was an electric moment.
