Blue Jays: Buzzer-beater bigger than the bat-flip? Hold on a minute

Like many Canadian sports fans, I found myself glued to the screen on Sunday evening, especially during the fourth quarter of Game 7 between the Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Unless you were in bed early on Sunday night and this is the first thing you’re reading today (shucks, thanks for starting the day with us, if that is somehow the case) you’re likely aware that Kawai Leonard hit a buzzer-beater that bounced on the rim FOUR times before it eventually fell through, sending the country into hysteria, and the Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Talk of the instantly-infamous shot was the deserved topic of the evening on social media, which brings me to what I’m ultimately getting at here, and the link to the Toronto Blue Jays.
