In the wake of the Toronto Raptors winning an NBA title and hoisting the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy on the back of Kawhi Leonard’s Herculean efforts, there was a nervous energy in the city. Raptors fans were concerned that the man they had just fallen in love with was about to leave them.
Torontonians did whatever they could to woo Leonard and keep him north of the border. They even began tracking the star’s every movement much like a jilted lover.
