When I first joined this blog, I chose the username LeonardIsOurFuture. The past year has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. I didn’t come up with the handle because I thought it was cute or clever (it’s neither of those, really). I chose the name because I thought it was already set in stone. From the outside looking in, you seemed like a natural fit to replace Tim Duncan as the cornerstone of a franchise with a rich history of competing for and winning championships.
Your stoic personality was a blessing, until it felt like a curse.
