Number One

Was there ever any doubt? Kawhi’s number one play with the Toronto Raptors is inarguably one of the greatest plays in NBA history. The shot came only in the Eastern Semifinals, but it may have been the biggest shot Kawhi made throughout his playoff run with the Raps. It was essential to Kawhi winning a second Finals MVP and the Raptors’ first championship in franchise history. Something the Clippers hope to be able to say themselves in the near future.

Toronto Raptors Kawhi was awesome, but I think we’re all very grateful for it now being LA Clippers Kawhi.
