Kyle Lowry is an ex-Toronto Raptor<\/a>. The franchise\u2019s all-time leader in assists, steals, made 3-pointers, and triple-doubles (!) is now with the Miami Heat<\/a>. But as he indicated on a recent podcast appearance, you can take the player out of Canada, but you\u2019ll never take Canada out of Lowry. It\u2019s been an unlikely career<\/a> for the former 24th overall pick. One of his favorite topics, as one might guess, is the 2019 NBA championship run by the Raptors. That was also his lone season of playing with superstar Kawhi Leonard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowry appeared headed for a journeyman\u2019s NBA life. A backup after going to the Memphis Grizzlies in 2006, he had a similar role until his final two seasons with the Houston Rockets. But a 2012 trade to the Raptors changed everything. In nine years in Toronto, Lowry was a six-time All-Star<\/a>, an All-NBA pick in 2015\u201316, an Olympic gold medalist, and won a title in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A change of venue doesn\u2019t mean a change of heart for Kyle Lowry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
