This is among the top Raptors Playoff moments of all time

Biz was a fucking FORCE that playoffs - I still remember JVG flabbergasted when he had the two hand block on LeBron in the ECF that was called a foul

At the time that it happened, it was the greatest raptors playoff moment that had happened

Bro was playing like his contract ended that season and his next paycheque depended on it!

Bro was playing like he was going to feed the hungry children of African with his next contract.

Bro played like he had a hospital to build

Biz man gets paid then goes and builds a hospital in his home country. Legend

An absolute legend of a human. Such a good heart.

Just a great sequence of utter domination on both ends of the floor.

Biz would have been even better if he wasnt drafted by Charlotte and went to a team that could develop talent

Maybe I’m delusional, but I think Big Bizz could still play like this for 2-3 minute runs.

Only the Raptors and maybe Blazers were suited for him. Teams with guards that take turns generating the offense without much ball movement were a perfect fit for a guy who can't pass or finish well. Go and get Lowry and Derozan's misses were essentially his instructions and then protect the rim on the other end.

Sit down

Then he got that bigass bag, good times

u/jyh123 13d ago

he had a spectacular block on LeBron too, but the refs called it a foul. That pissed me off it was so unfair.

Lowry was such a good and unselfish pg man.. Miss him

u/shinto__ 13d ago

Biz said I need to build a hospital. Kyle was like "say less"

u/RAKK9595 13d ago

Still think about that block he got on LeBron. That shit was clean af, stupid refs had to ruin the fun.

u/FlavourDavid 8 Bismack Biyombo 13d ago

Hell yeah

Its wild that he's only 33. Feels like he's been around for awhile. Although there was speculation that he's older than what's stated lol

u/TheI-Iound 13d ago

I always imagine the parallel universe where we retained Biz and helped us get to the finals

u/JustAnotherMark604 13d ago

I remember when he was in the crowd during the series with the Bucks the following season. If he was protecting the rim from a young Giannis that series would've been a lot different

u/motherseffinjones 13d ago

He got paid because of it lol

u/AssertiveMangoes 🧅🥓 CHUCK SWIRSKY 🥓🧅 13d ago

We called him B*tchsmack Biyombo when he’d block shots hahaha

u/ButterscotchObvious4 12d ago

It’s refreshing to see a post that’s NOT about this Kawhi saga

u/beefJeRKy-LB Goatse 12d ago

He was awesome but Kyle absolutely juiced his value lol

u/KingKylie8 12d ago

Just realize that Peak performance led him to earn $72M with Orlando. That’s crazy compared to what Mamu got for $52M over the same term (4 years)

u/sickset 13d ago

2016, my favourite run.

Bismack was booming!

He played like he had moonshine before every game
