Sequels
Are rarely as good as the original.
In the short list of Canadian 1 hit wonders, Kawhi’s heart stopping, series clinching shot, topped the charts. Narrowly defeating perenial, reigning champion Carly Ray Jepson and her mega hit “Call me maybe”.
7 years later now, and Kawhi and the Raptors decided to learn to love again.
It should be a comforting thought.
Many a star has spurned Toronto in the past:
Vince
T-Mac
Bosh
Hell, the only one that didn’t was the guy Masai traded for Kawhi in the first place.
And now…
This is unprecedented. Raptors fans have been dumped before, but no one ever returned. Let alone re-returned.
What the Raps have had, is a couple of aging (out) superstars:
Hakeem Olajuwon
Charles Oakley.
Tail end of their career types. Is that what Kawhi will be? Or is he still…
