Not running it back 1 more year with Toronto is such a shame.. they had such a high chance of going back to back in 2020. Going to LA ruined his career
Prime Kawhi is still ongoing but just riddled with injuries He was more efficient at Spurs. He scored much more better with the Clippers His least efficient postseason was when he won the championship with the Raptors Injuries are his kryptonite

He took a B+ team into the finals carrying the whole team for the whole playoffs, their 2nd scoring option was Kyle Lowry, played lockdown D against Giannis. Kawhi will always be my favourite player after Kobe
This is crazy revisionist history. Raptors were the deepest team in the playoffs with MIP Siakam, all star Lowry, and back of prime Gasol. Raptors built the perfect system and team around him to maximize his play. That same Raptors team without him won the same amount of games the next season. Obviously he was front and Center but that Raptors team was elite before he got there. It was the best situation for both parties.
