Kawhi Leonard made his much-anticipated return to Toronto on Wednesday night and it was something special, but not because of the game. The real story was the warm embrace Leonard was shown from the Raptor fans. Leonard received his championship ring and was met with a standing ovation and “MVP” chants. An extraordinary display of respect by a fan base that could still be licking wounds due to Leonard’s departure to the Los Angeles Clippers. SI’s Robin Lundberg applauds the Raptor fans for showing their gratitude for what Leonard brought to the city, as opposed to harping on the fact that he is no longer there.
