With his preparations for the upcoming NBA Finals in full swing, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr took a quick moment to appreciate the remarkable story of Nav Bhatia, the Toronto Raptors superfan that boasts of a truly inspiring rags-to-riches story.

While Kerr will go down in history as one of the best coaches the sport has ever seen, it is obvious that his love for humanity stretches far beyond his involvement in the intense competition of basketball. This story transcends the narrative of the back-to-back defending champions facing off against the heavy underdogs, as Bhatia's tale is — as the thread describes it — a perfect representation of how equality ought to prevail everywhere and anywhere in the world.

As for Bhatia, we can all be sure that he will be cheering his heart out for his Raptors come Thursday night as they host the Warriors for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. This is certainly unfamiliar territory for Bhatia and the Raptors, with this being their first ever trip to the Finals. Every single fan — including Bhatia, of course — will be savoring every bit of this unforgettable experience.

Moreover, with the type of passion and self-belief the city of Toronto has, they surely won't be in it just for the ride. They hold an unshakable belief that despite the odds, they have a fighting chance against the almighty Dubs, and maybe — just maybe — they might end up taking home the trophy by the end of this highly-anticipated Finals series.
