Canada’s greatest export was once maple syrup but that all changed when “24” became the greatest show ever. If anyone was going to usurp syrup, it’s freaking Jack Bauer. The show ran its course, and Drake took over as Canada’s gift to the world.
Even though Drake is still going strong, Toronto Raptors forward James Johnson slammed down a dunk that made me pee myself.
World, introducing the Big Johnson Slammer.
If you think I’m overreacting, that’s probably fair. Sure, he didn’t dunk over anybody even though he sort of dunked over Taj Gibson but still not really. And Joakim Noah? He just stood there as his jaw dropped. But just look at the power behind that jam! The Big Johnson Slammer!
You can hear it and feel it. It feels kind of warm.
This is the Raptors first scheduled appearance on TNT since 2002 outside of an emergency broadcast after the Celtics game was postponed after the Boston Marathon. It took a while for the Raptors to gain the respect, but they didn’t disappoint their national audience.
