Kawhi Leonard received his NBA Championship hardware on Wednesday night in his first return to Toronto since joining the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason.

The Raptors welcomed the NBA Finals MVP in a pregame ceremony, which included a tribute video that highlighted his contributions and even displayed the path of Leonard's buzzer-beater against the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs.

Leonard was greeted with an ovation and applause from Raptors fans as he received his Championship ring. The entire team and staff greeted Leonard, while Kyle Lowry presented him with his ring amongst "MVP" chants.
