Toronto Raptors fans can now pay their respects to "Saint Nick" in the wake of the team's first NBA championship.
A shrine for Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has been erected near the CBC News building in downtown Toronto, complete with candles and flowers.

The shrine is one of several Raptors-themed tributes that have popped up around Toronto in recent weeks. Those include a mural of Drake wearing Dell Curry's old Raptors jersey and another depicting the team's locker room celebration.
