As a Torontonian I was thrilled to see the Raps win the title for both the city and the country. That said I never did get the adulation of fans to Kawhi post-championship. While Leonard went above and beyond the call of duty on the court the NBA is a players league and outside the court Kawhi has never expressed any loyalty to his Raps teammates, the Toronto fans or anyone else that treated him as a god amongst men.
Now that he's gone it's time to thank Leonard for one of the greatest postseason performances of the modern era, appreciate the run Toronto had and express our gratitude for the guys who do love the team, the fans and the city (before Masai trades all of them away), starting with Kyle Lowry, who is arguably now the greatest Raptor of all time.
