Kyle Lowry: injury-prone, coach-killer ... Greatest Raptor Ever

Kyle Lowry will go down as a champion, a team player, and maybe the greatest Toronto Raptor ever. This is particularly amazing when you consider Lowry's former reputation: He was known for being grumpy, injury-prone, resistant to change, and he didn't particularly want to be a Raptor in the first place. Let's meet the old Kyles, and watch how they blended and adapted to become the Kyle history will remember.

It's honestly crazy to think that Kyle Lowry played for six seasons before joining the Raptors. In my head he joined the NBA as a 26 year old rookie in Toronto.

@JWex-jy7sk Год назад

I’m a Grizzlies fan and can tell you hardly anyone remembers his days in Memphis as a young backup point guard on Grizzlies teams who would usually finish with 58-60 losses per year. In his early days he was practically a no name for anyone outside of Memphis or if you went to Villanova

@hoodie_bron Год назад

@@tragically_bad221 your right but that was in the conference finals. He still played awful defense. To give an example he would do what we saw oladipo, cp3, and Russ do when a offensive player is too fast for them they would swipe at the ball and throw there hands up and the guy driving would get a free layup or dunk. Lowry would do that so many times in the playoffs instead of playing defense he would flop around them from time to time and he did that a lot against the Celtics with Marcus smart and when he had to guard brown. Terrible defense and just as bad offense 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

@austinemms9772 Год назад

He is a perfect example for why scheme fit matters so much for players. Some busts may have that label because they were drafted by, signed by or traded to the wrong team. Lowry is a perfect example of that fact.

Chauncey Billups is like that too

@Amm17ar Год назад

100% agree. If youre drafted to a Sacramento or Minny, most likely youre not going to be developed properly and theyll give up on you. Sucks for all the guys whoes careers were ruined because of bad management, development and franchise culture. Golden State were exactly the same until new management came in and fired a ton of people. They brought in brand new talent, changed the culture and the basis of development and drafting practices. Teams like Sacramento continue to suck for a reason. And whenever they do hit on a player in the draft, they trade them away, like Tyrese.

During the celebration on the court, Masai was barred from getting on the court. He was unfairly targeted by a man who clearly wanted to ruin this moment for him. It was in that moment that Lowry reached out to Masai, and brought him into the accomplishment they both deserved. A perfect resolution to the story of their relationship that lead to a championship

@voiceofreason2674 Год назад

I’m super skeptical of famous person versus regular person and usually take the regular person with no platforms side. But in that situation you can find the tape Masai Ujiri has credentials on and in a sea of moving people the security guard just grips him up

@furioussherman7265 Год назад

That moment especially stands out, in my opinion, as a counter to the hot-headedness that Lowry showed early in his career. He calmly took Masai aside and taught him how to navigate American systemic racism in a calm, professional manner.

@ndrocca Год назад

Kyle Lowry is a prime example of what Masai Ujiri has done for the Raptors. If Kyle Lowry had been playing for the Raptors prior to Masai’s arrival, he would have left. Masai Ujiri’s tenure has changed the perception of playing for the Raptors. He has instilled a winning culture in Toronto. A culture of getting it done and doing right by their players. Developing the best players and taking advantage of the mistakes of other teams. Even when he made the Kawhi trade, there is a belief that the man at the top knows what he is doing. Now, when players join the Raptors, rather than thinking about a team that’s gonna be bad, make bad decisions and pay you less because of taxes, they now think of an organization that is going to do everything in their power to make you the best player you can be and if you don’t become your best, the man at the top knows how to get the most out of your value on the market. As a Raptors fan, I will forever argue that Masai more than anyone is responsible for the Raptors transition from basement dweller to one of the best organizations in the NBA. He deserves a statue when he retires.

Part 2: The Chris Bosh era, a step back, including in no particular order: Vince leaving, Subpar defense (including a particular deep dive into 81 points by one player aka Toronto has fallen), rising ranks, and first round exits, ended with Bosh dipping for Miami. Part 3: The Masai Ujiri era. Lowry-DeRozan, LeBronto, Kawhi, Nick Nurse, and eventually the championship. Edit: Name the Doc "We the North" and we are gucci.

2014 Lowry didn't have a "dreadful" performance. He averaged 21-5-5 on 57% TS. He had a huge 36 point performance in game 5 in a 2 point win against the Nets to take a 3-2 series lead and had a game high 28 points in the game 7 loss. His 2015 performance was the only year where he truly had a terrible performance the entire playoffs, and he was dealing with injuries, although some of that can be attribute with the kind of shape he was in at the time. -2016 he was terrible at first and great as the playoffs went along. -2017 he was overall good until he got injured. -2018 he was overall great and the best player on the team even though the team heavily disappointed against the Cavs. -2019 we know how that went and he was overall great especially in the ECF and Finals. -2020 he was overall great and the Raptor's best player in the playoffs.

@Fitplayer66 Год назад

Yep lol. Kyle was great in the 2014 series, was horrible in the 2015 series and was pretty damn good every year after. His playoff struggles are completely overblown. I will never forget his game 7 performance against Miami putting up 35 points in a near triple double, and then scoring 35 points twice against the Cavaliers the next series. His game 6 performance against the Celtics was also unbelievable in 2020.

As a Spurs fan, I really knew nothing of Kyle Lowry until Kawhi joined the team. I watched video of an interview with him right after the DeRozan trade and saw how devastated he was. I watched Toronto in a few regular season games and then saw them a lot in the playoffs that year and was really impressed with Kyle Lowry. He stuck out as a tough, tenacious, steady, consistent leader on the team. Since then I've been a fan. I hope that this year's young Spurs players watch this video so they can learn that the path to greatness is a long and winding road, but for those who persevere there is a reward.

So happy for Kyle....Saw him play a lot when he was in high school, first at Northeast High, and then at Cardinal Dougherty in Philly....like Seth said, he was a bulldog in every sense of the word, and could be extremely hardheaded.

Good video, but I think it needs to delve deeply into how good prime Lowry actually was. This was a guy that in 2016 was 5th in the league in RPM, in 2017 was 4th in the league in RPM, in 2018 was 1st in the league in RPM, in 2019 was 5th in the league in RPM, and in 2020 was 6th in the league in RPM. He was the consummate floor general that was dominant on both ends. He never really got the credit for how impactful he was. He knew how to control the game, manipulate defenses, stifle offenses, take over games when needed. He doesn't get credit but he's one of the greatest 3 point shooters in NBA history and will likely finish top 10 all time in 3 pointers made. Any Raptor fan will know that Lowry was the engine of the team between 2014-2021 and the primary factor of why they were a perennial 50+ win team every season. He was basically like a mini 5'11 bulldog Lebron that could do it all. I'm sure people will disagree with me but I am easily taking prime Lowry over guys like Kyrie, Lillard, Wall, and Kemba during that era. If Lowry was able to play with a guy like Kawhi for more than 1 year there is no doubt in my mind he would have won multiple championships.

But lowry was the heart and soul of that team and it would not have won without him, the opening minutes of game 6 are proof of the raptors following lowry not the other way around. Kawhi was ofc the best player on that team and they dont win without him, but obviously thats why they traded for him. minimizing someones impact on a championship season simply because they arent an mvp level player is silly because teams dont win without selfless all star level leaders/glue guys like kyle lowry 😁

Don't see too many players like Lowry anymore. Stronger point guards who is arguably better on the less glamorous side of the floor. Still think DeMar was always the better Raptor but Lowry encompassed the most successful era of the Raptors.

It's a coin flip, Lowry deserves all the credit for being the leader the Raptors always needed and it would have been amazing to see what the two of them could've done without having to face LeBron every year. I have a soft spot for DeMar since I don't think the last 10 years happens with Lowry or Masai if he isn't there to improve the culture and be Toronto's first star that wasn't ashamed to play for the Raptors.

Seth, longtime fan here. Just wanted to check in on you. I can’t imagine the depression a knicks fan would have doing research rehashing this point, and the actual video for this one. It’s understandable, I had it when you guys decided to unload the Vince retrospective on me. Hoping Secret Base’s benefit plan includes some counselling.❤ Sincerely A big Raptors/Seth Fan

YESSS I'm a Raps fan and Kyle Lowry is my favorite player of all time. I'm so excited to watch this haha

Great video and narration, but I feel like you could've talked more about his championship season as well as the later years of his time in Toronto.

@AndOreos Год назад

raptors 2019 championship, the build up and what followed could be a movie. There’s a lot about that season that to this day not many people know what a roller coaster it was on and off the court

Please do a Steve Smith prism. His story from juco to mid round pick to terrible teammate all the way to soon to be Hall of Fame would be awesome to dive into

Not to mention the whole sandpaper saga... wait, wrong Steve Smith.

@spookyghostwriter3110 Год назад

I feel like this episode could also have gone on just a little while longer, because at the very end of his first stint with the raptors (because he will be back to retire in a Toronto jersey), he got to spell out where he wanted to go, and he got to go on his terms.

As a Grizzlies fan, I’m so happy both him and Mike Conley found ways to become great. If we’d kept both it would’ve been like the Fox-Haliburton situation in Sacramento: 2 great unselfish players, but with a lot of overlapping abilities that would prevent them from reaching their full potential.
