Kawhi Leonard is making his first trip back to Toronto tonight since he led the Raptors to a NBA title last June.
And the fans were really happy to see him, which is pretty cool.
Leonard, of course, left town in the offseason to join the Los Angeles Clippers. But nobody can take his one year with the Raptors away from him as he led the city on a heck of a run last spring/summer that ended with a lot of parties after they beat the Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Leonard got his championship ring before Wednesday’s tip and fans showed their love for him with MVP champs and signs saying thanks:
