For a lot of guys, winning a championship will go down as their crowning achievement, the absolute apex of whatever arc their career travels. For Kyle Lowry, that seemed like it would be true, too... for about six months. Now, with the Raptors’ noble title defense in the books, it’s pretty clear winning a ring was just the amuse-bouche for Lowry. Securing a title poured the concrete of Lowry’s legacy. With his 2019-20 season, he left a bird-flipping handprint embedded within before it dries for good.
You can definitely point to other seasons since Lowry arrived in Toronto that were more statistically sparkling than the one that just saw him average 19-5-8 on 35ish percent from three.
