Basketball is back!
Has there ever been so much hype surrounding a Toronto Raptors preseason game? That question can be answered by the nearly twenty-thousand fans who sold-out Rogers Arena in Vancouver to get the first glimpse of this year’s team.
I’m going to cut to the chase: Kawhi Leonard played basketball tonight. . . In a Toronto Raptors jersey. . . In real life. In fact, it was the former Finals MVP who got the ball rolling offensively for Toronto. On one possession, after pump-faking from behind the arc, Leonard calmly stepped into two-point territory where he proceeded to sink a smooth looking jumpshot.
