Kawhi Leonard's decisive performance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals reverberated around the world as the Raptors moved within a win of the title.
Along with the Raptors being the NBA's only team outside of the USA, the fact they have four players on their roster born outside of the States undoubtedly makes them one of the league's most international teams.
It is therefore little surprise that Friday night's Game 4 victory over the Golden State Warriors, which gave the Raptors a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, was greeted with such enthusiasm by broadcasters in all corners of the globe.
The main source of inspiration for the Raptors' victory - and commentator's adulation - was Leonard. The All-Star forward scored 36 points, 17 of which came in a decisive third-quarter turnaround.
One more victory for the Raptors will almost certainly see Leonard add a second NBA Finals MVP award to the one he claimed on the San Antonio Spurs title-winning team in 2014.
With major doubt remaining over whether Kevin Durant will be fit to return for the Warriors in Game 5, the Raptors appear well set to seal a historic championship.
