00:00He had a terrific, unbelievable season last year. Just absolutely tremendous. And so now you're
00:07getting in Toronto this version. He goes home, signs a contract extension. I mean, this is
00:14unreal. And I say this as a Knick fan, I'm scared. Look, Toronto can absolutely win the Eastern
00:21Conference. I still favor New York, among other teams as well. But Toronto, they kept the young
00:27core together. Obviously, last year, they were a five-seed, pleasant surprise. I didn't
00:32think they would do anything in the playoffs. And, you know, they got bounced in the first
00:36round. R.J. Barrett hit that Kawhi-esque shot at the end of game six. They took Cleveland
00:42to seven games. They're pretty damn close. So he goes from a place where, you know, obviously
00:48he was hated forever in L.A. and no one cared about the Clippers. And now he's back home.
00:54And this whole thing is just absolutely incredible. It's remarkable. I can't get enough. And if
01:00you're a Clipper fan, this is hell. Raptors are back. Kawhi is back in Toronto. And this
01:06team absolutely is going to be in the mix for everything in terms of the Eastern Conference,
01:11the one seed, a championship. I thought that was an absolutely terrific move by the Toronto
01:18Raptors. And look, I don't necessarily root for Kawhi. I respect him as a player. I don't
01:23root for him because he created load management and only plays when he wants to. Assuming he's
01:30in the right frame of mind and he's going back to a place where he's beloved, I think the
01:34Raptors over the next four years are going to get the best possible version of Kawhi Leonard.
01:39And I think that he's going to set the NBA absolutely on fire for the foreseeable future.
