(6-14-19) Rockford native and Auburn grad Fred VanVleet had a night to remember as he helped the Toronto Raptors win their first ever NBA title over Golden State.
Twitter tells the story of game 6 and the night Fred had in the Raptors win.
VanVleet: “Seeing your dreams come to fruition is a feeling you can’t put into words. I know what it took to get here, I know where I’ve been, the ups and downs, and just to be here in this moment is nothing short of amazing.”
