FromTheLand+FollowWould Kawhi Have Won Another Ring if He Stayed in Toronto?If Kawhi never left the Raptors after their 2019 title run, do you think he’d have another championship by now? That team still had the defense, depth, and chemistry to make noise. So was another title there for the taking? #NBAWhatIf #KawhiLeonard #Raptors #Sports #NBA 10Share
Beth Holland+FollowKawhi’s 2019 Series vs the Sixers Deserves Way More CreditKawhi Leonard’s performance against Philly in the 2019 playoffs doesn’t get nearly enough credit. Everyone remembers the game 7 buzzer-beater, but the whole series was an absolute masterclass. Kawhi averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists on a crazy 63.4 TS%. And it wasn’t just the stats—he put up those numbers while being guarded by elite defenders like Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons, and had to finish at the rim over Joel Embiid. Toronto’s playmaking and shooting were rough that series. Outside of Kawhi, the team only averaged 15 assists a game and shot 29% from deep. Honestly, you could see other Raptors players hesitating or passing up good shots—Kawhi really carried the offense and still brought A-level defense every night as the team’s top option. Given the lack of help and the tough defensive matchup, I say Kawhi’s performance vs the Sixers ranks among the best individual series in playoff history. #NBA #KawhiLeonard #PlayoffHistory #Raptors #UnderratedPerformances #Sports 10Share
Oscar Gonzalez+FollowKawhi’s Silent Swagger Divided the RaptorsRemember the 2019 Raptors run? Turns out, not everyone vibed with The Klaw’s style. Kyle Lowry just revealed that some teammates actually despised Kawhi’s quiet, ball-dominant approach. While Lowry shifted from scorer to playmaker, Kawhi just kept eating—dropping buckets and locking down on D. Some called it cold, but it led to a ring. Guess sometimes the big dog’s gotta eat, even if it ruffles feathers. #Sports #Basketball #Raptors00Share
