When Canadian rock band Trooper released their 1977 single "We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)," they probably didn't think it would apply to the Toronto Raptors over 40 years later.
Kawhi Leonard kept Trooper's sentiment strong, and it all started on July 18, 2018, when the Raptors acquired him from the San Antonio Spurs. Leonard, who played in only nine games in the season prior, quieted any concerns about his health by dropping 24 points and 12 rebounds in his debut for the Raptors.
His tenure in Toronto also included cashing in on the first Game 7 buzzer-beater in NBA history en route to leading the franchise to its first NBA Finals appearance.
