Kawhi Leonard’s run with the Toronto Raptors is both one of the greatest single-season runs by an athlete and one of the greatest what-if scenarios ever.
Leonard led the Raptors to the championship in his only season there before returning to his hometown of Los Angeles. Had he remained, Toronto could have competed for additional championships. Their depth and emerging young talent would have made them a more formidable force in the Eastern Conference. Leonard’s choice to depart was not surprising, but it was somewhat unusual. Toronto stayed good for a long, but never returned to the Finals.
In a recent appearance on the Draymond Green show, former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse recalled his first meeting with Leonard after he was traded by the San Antonio Spurs and revealed why it wasn’t a total shock that Leonard dipped after his lone season with Toronto.
