It's insane how fast time flies.

Summer is over, NBA basketball is just around the corner, and in the case of former Raptors cornerstone Pascal Siakam, before we know it, we'll be nearly a full year removed from the "Spicy P" era in Toronto coming to an end. It was a whirlwind of a tenure, full of its ups and downs, but regardless of how you feel about him, Pascal Siakam will undoubtedly be a celebrated figure in Raptors history for all his contributions.

And speaking of a reason for celebration, the now-Pacers star just received an accolade that reflects his impact off the court and beyond: the University of New Brunswick awarded Siakam an honorary Doctor of Letters (DLitt) degree.
