Though Kawhi Leonard’s stint with the Toronto Raptors was short-lived, it proved to be the most memorable year in Raptors history – culminating in the team’s first-ever trip to the NBA Finals and it’s first-ever NBA title. Without the help of Kawhi Leonard, none of that would have been possible.
After a momentous first, and only, season with the Raptors, Leonard elected to move home to Los Angeles and join the LA Clippers in free agency. No one will chastise him for his decision. The Raptors managed Leonard’s workload, and in return, he played a prominent role in helping the Raptors deliver their first championship.
