Toronto Raptors fans have been waiting a long time for their team to bring home a championship, and the way the city celebrated following Thursday night’s win helped put the popularity of the Raptors into perspective.
All major cities throw massive victory parades when their team wins a title, and they’re usually attended by hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of fans. But after the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the city of Toronto could not wait to get the party started. Check out these awesome videos:

While they had one really embarrassing moment during the playoffs, the way Raptors fans supported their team was incredible. It’s usually an exaggeration to say an entire city got behind a team, but it looks like that is exactly what happened in Toronto.
