I was finding it strange that nobody was commenting on the NBA finals, but not wanting to jinx anything I left it alone.
Tonight the basketball came back to Canada. A bunch of guys from the USA are bringing the Larry O'brien trophy to Toronto, Ontario. Canada is celebrating big time right now.

Before the series started I really thought the warriors would sweep in 4 games. Wow, was I wrong! The warriors made a valiant comeback over the last couple of games, but the raptors are the better team, I think. Even without KD and Thompson going down. Anyways, congrats to all you canucks.

Congrats to the Raptors and their fans. Kawhi is a beast, the rest of the team was excellent, and Nick Nurse is awesome.

Never knew Naismith had Canadian roots until last night.
Particularly glad for Lowry, who waited a long time for LeBron to go away!

Kyle Lowry is the epitome of a Canadian athlete, and yet he's from the USA. He's a grinder, a team player, a family guy, has a handle on what's important, and takes himself seriously enough to know how to act in times of difficulty. And his grasp on humility is genuine. Canadians respect a person like that.

Well that's absolutely correct, Bob.
I was just kinda mentioning that both Canadians and people from the United States are from America. North America. So are Mexicans.
There's also a South America.
Unfortunately, 'Americans' became the globally recognized moniker for citizens of the United States, even though it is incorrect nomenclature. A leftover from the "British Americans" label.

I always thought that citizens of the USA usurped the moniker "Americans". It seemed kinda misplaced to me, sort of like calling first nations people Indians, when they weren't from India. I've always thought of anyone from the Americas as American. Anyway, my first and second posts were making a reference to the connections between people who cross borders to make a living and contribute to their communities.
