A great Canadian sporting moment calls for great Canadian sports memes
Four bounces and then an explosion of epic proportion.
The fadeaway jumper made by Kawhi Leonard in Sunday's Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers secured the Toronto Raptors a spot in the Eastern Conference final for just the second time in franchise history.

Nope?
Ohhhhh, then you probably saw a meme of the epic Canadian Heritage moment?

But maybe someone should tell Leonard what a Canadian Heritage moment actually is?
Psst, Kawhi, it's this:

Everything's better with music, after all.
Ok, but what about side by side with the 2001 Vince Carter fadeaway jumper that had a much different outcome?
And what could be more fun than watching the opposing team's devastation, side by side with the winners' jubilation?
How about next to the little karateka named Phoenix from Orlando whose viral video shows us all what perseverance looks like:
Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?
So what does Leonard make of all this meme-ing?
