There’s a little bit of Kyle Lowry in everything the Raptors do

The Raptors marvel at Kyle Lowry every night, not because every shot he takes goes in, and not because his athleticism stands him apart from everyone else. They marvel at him because he’s so much more than what fans see, so subtle, so effective, so important.

It’s hard for players to explain exactly what Lowry means, or what he does.

“There’s so many things he does that don’t show up on the stat sheet,” said Jeremy Lin, Lowry’s backup and backcourt mate.
