“Memory Lane” One-Year Stand

“Memory Lane” One-Year Stand: A Kawhi/Raptors Affair

Over the course of this week, I will be dropping a 3-part series celebrating the Raptors – Kawhi Leonard union which officially started in July 2018, and resulted in the greatest season in the history of the franchise. From a collection of episodes & a variety of guests from that championship season, I will be sharing clips that take you through the journey. From the early season predictions; the anxieties of the playoffs; the highest of the highs in winning their first championship; and the gut punching departure of Kawhi leaving the money on the nightstand & heading to Los Angeles.
