Kawhi Leonard grateful to have made history with the Raptors, talks free agency | 2019 NBA Finals

2019 NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard joins Scott Van Pelt to talk about the Toronto Raptors' win vs. the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Finals. He reflects on making history as he and his teammates bring the trophy back to Toronto, Canada for the first time in franchise history. He shares the advice he gives to his teammates, specifically in regards to the media attention that comes along with becoming a successful team, but he makes sure to stay humble when talking about his previous experience in the NBA Finals with the San Antonio Spurs and earning the 2014 NBA Finals MVP honors. Leonard is proud of the team that the Raptors have become, with "no one butting heads" to distract from the work on the hardwood and smiles as he talks about what it means to him to bring a trophy back to Jurassic Park and the fans in Toronto. He lastly touches upon free agency, saying he's taking it day-to-day and will take some time to enjoy the victory.

- So happy for Lowry, he's been through all the heartbreaking losses in the playoffs( still remember him going up for the winning basket in Game 7 of the 1st round vs Brooklyn in 2014 but was blocked by Paul Pierce, Lowry was laying down on the court afterward visibly upset ). Now Lowry finally has his championship and he played a hell of a game in Game 6! Unbelievable effort. Clutch. Kawhi taught him how to win, too. :-)

[@Cluez31]

That was the first que you knew he was gone...

[@Cluez31]

I always told Raptors fans before the playoffs... I said... you guys have an extremely small window of Kawhi staying. If the Raptors don't make the finals... Kawhi Leaves...., If the Raptors make the Finals but get swept... Kawhi leaves... If the Raptors make the finals but get a "Gentleman's sweep" .. Kawhi leaves.... If the Raptors make the finals and win the Championship.....Kawhi leaves.... The only way Kawhi stays...is if the raptors lose the finals in Game 6 or Game 7.... Because anything before that.. Kawhi says the team isn't ready to win... If he wins, he can say.. I've done my job, what more do I owe you.... But game 6 or 7 will make him feel like he still owes you a little something and will stay for another year to see if he can win the chip for Toronto.

Kawhi is the just the perfect ambassador for the NBA right now. At a time when the definition of masculinity is in flux, when people are divided, screaming at each other, everybody seems out to get theres... Here's this guy; confident, capable, humble. Not bragging, not being an asshole, not responding to the critics, not sliding into the DMs on IG. He's just out here, focused on what matters, quietly going about his business of being a master of his craft. I've never watched sports and thought to myself, 'I can learn something about life from this' But damn, watching this playoff run with Kawhi, how he's conducted himself, I've learned a lot about how to be a man.

Why are people intentionally delusional? He didnt beat a superteam or a dynasty, they didn't even beat the splash brothers 1. KD injured, Klay injured game 3 and 6, Cousins recovering, Looney injured, so just stop it. Lebron's Cavs would have beat this hobbled version of the Warriors

[@soulsearch1234]

@Ba Hashem Yeshua The splash brothers didnt play game 3 or 6, Klay was injured. Besides, stop mentioning those wins, the regular season doesn't mean anything, everybody knows that PLUS this is NOT the same team that won 73, so STOP that FALSE narrative

[@DubbleLzNhell]

He cared about it. I wish he was still here. But he played his ass off when he was in Toronto. He wanted to bring them to the promised land. And he probably knew beforehand that he had only one opportunity to do it. The greatest sports memory I have enjoyed. Good luck in LA, Kawhi

The Raptors team is just good energy. All the guys and their attitudes are so humble - it's crazy. Even Jeremy Lin has been very under appreciated in his past but I feel in Canada and on this diverse team, he too can shine.
