It’s early in the NBA season. Very early. But still, the Raptors have found themselves at 7-6 and are in the East’s playoff picture after so many people counted them out in the offseason.
A big part of that is Fred VanVleet. Dude is playing like an absolute All-Star this season. He’s been making big plays for the Raptors all year. He did it again on Thursday night against the 76ers,
He dropped 32 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds to go along with one big 3-pointer he hit in the fourth quarter to essentially seal the game for the Raptors and give them the win.
And to throw a little cherry on top, he pulled out Sam Cassell’s infamous NSFW celebration after hitting his big shot.
The best part? He did it in front of Sam Cassell, who is an assistant coach for the 76ers.

MAN. That’s so fun. This is how you pay your respects to the big homies. Absolutely love to see it. Deep down, Cassell probably did, too.
This was awesome.
