Toxic fan base tho Some people were cheering for kd and klay when they got injured

[@gordon7700]

@@kingworldadventures That's a common misconception. In Canadian hockey games, when a player gets injured but is able to walk, this shows hope that they can recover. You cheer for an injured player for support. I've even experienced this in my childhood hockey games. I've been cheered for getting up after an injury. It's to show respect, but the American fanbase interpreted it wrong. Canadians have cheered in support of injured players for years. I'm not sure if this is just a hockey thing though.

They missed him because he was a good player that helped them become relevant, he made Toronto a team you could put a superstar on and win championships even if he wasn’t that superstar. It’s like if your favorite player left your team for a better player. You’ll probably still miss him too, plus I didn’t see a singles raptors fan saying they thought the trade was bad

Not really...i lived there when that happened and it wqsnt a big deal I was telling people they needed to dump demar & lowry for an qctuwl top tier superstar otherwise they'll never win. Didn't think they'd be able to get Kawhi for Demar though. Lots of people were glad they offloaded Demar at that time because just like lowry, he never showed up when it mattered most.

Toronto always loves ya demar!!!!! Forever thank ya

[@PistolPeteLee]

As a long term Raptors fan, of course I am thankful that we were able to get Kawhi and win a championship. That was a beautiful thing, and amazing to be able to have a minute part in that. That said, it hit me different when DeMar got traded. DaMar is a Raptor through and through, he wasn't the problem, but I know I speak on behalf of every Raptors fan when I say how much we appreciate him. Toronto would never have been in the position they were if it wasn't for DeMar. His play style and personality remains in Toronto, for sure. Hopefully, we get to see him back one day.

My hero

They need to trade to get him back to the raptors, he got a real rough deal and you can tell by his play his heart isn’t in San Antonio

[@joeyorchoowski1763]

Love this video

[@brendanlittle2498]

Kawhi definitely doesn’t want to see Demar walking down a dark alley. Demar probably has so much anger towards Kawhi because Kawhi basically stole his shine

[@Big_talks.]

Demar still would not have lead his team man

[@Big_talks.]

Kawhi was just that dude

[@jaedon7649]

@Dats a paddlin what about giannas,sixers Toronto needed kawhi more than DeMar

[@video7074]

You were not the problem ..refs were the problem and favoured LBJ in the East at that time You helped Toronto build a great Franchise #Thanks#Respect!!

[@teflonjon3341]

They need to bring him back, he might be the piece that could get them bk to the finals. 9 years in Toronto and they win the year they trade you. Ouch.

[@ardarazi8472]

They won because they traded tho. So it's a bit of a tough situation for Demar.

[@BTA_23]

@@ardarazi8472 they won because they got Kawhi and/or because Lebron moved to the West.

[@zascorpusa]

Demar was a great Raptor grew up in Toronto and was a difference maker. Too bad they had to trade him. He would never have left the team. I’m still hoping Demar comes back to Raptors someday.

[@dmoneyf5]

He set for life, he understands it's business

[@soulsearch1234]

No, you weren't the problem but Kawhi was just a monster that yr.

[@okabemakise8888]

Demar to the lakers this offseason 🙃😋

[@mobynic]

Demar deserves a ring

[@finessethaprofit7325]

At least he kept it 💯

[@Loicrsl1000]

DEMAR IS A LEGEND !!!!!

[@CesarC487]
