Famous fans react to the Raptors’ latest epic buzzer-beater

The Toronto Raptors celebrated a dramatic win on Thursday night, with Raptors forward OG Anunoby making a game-winning shot at the buzzer that clinched the third game against the Celtics by one point. The win was the Raptors first against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference series following the Celtic’s back-to-back wins on August 30 and September 1. Not only did the final shot of the game clear the Raptor’s bench, it also led to a lot of famous basketball fans celebrating online.It looked like the Celtics were going to earn their third straight win after Daniel Theis’ dunk in the fourth quarter put the Celtics up by two points, but a pass from Kyle Lowry to Anunoby and an epic three-pointer gave the Raptors the lead they needed. OMG OG.

Magic Johnson commented on Lowry’s cross-court pass, which managed to magically make its way around the vertically gifted Celtics player Tacko Fall.

From the beginning of the game Kyle Lowry was dominate leading his Raptors to victory with 31 points!! Someone tell me how at 6’0” Kyle Lowry makes a PERFECT cross court pass over a 7’5” Tacko Fall for the game winner?!!

Former NFL player and Fox Sports 1 host Emmanuel Acho deemed Anunoby the Nigerian NBA king of the week.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Giannis, Nigerians must claim OG Anunoby as our NBA king for this week. What a shot!!!— Emmanuel Acho (@EmmanuelAcho) September 4, 2020

Ogugua “OG” Anunoby is truly Nigerian.

He makes the biggest shot of his career, ultimately saving his teams season, and walks away as if he may still be grounded for making a B on his exam. ?? ?? pic.twitter.com/TVQR13mOzr— Emmanuel Acho (@EmmanuelAcho) September 4, 2020

Sportscaster Ernie Johnson credits Anunoby’s shot precision to 24 minutes of resting.

for 23 minutes and 59.5 seconds of the second half OG Anunoby hadn't taken a shot. Then that happened. What a finish!

Atlanta Hawks player Trae Young relied on caps lock and exclamation points to convey his excitement.

Maybe the best reaction of all was from Anunoby, who showed no reaction after his game-winning shot. “I expected to make it,” Anunoby said. “I don’t shoot trying to miss. Every shot I shoot I try to make it. I wasn’t going to act surprised, because I wasn’t surprised.”

Easily the coolest human on the planet. pic.twitter.com/AmZ4TnpYCk
