Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors hit an epic game 7 buzzer beater this past weekend. With that being said, I believe the Raptors need to do everything they can to bring Kawhi back.
1. Epic Game 7.

One of the craziest moments in sports history, Kawhi not only hit the game winner, but he hit in Game 7 of the eastern conference semi-final.
2. Anticipation at its finest.

The shot seen around the world, this moment blew up on social media. This is big for the Raptors.
3. The picture that says it all.

The anticipation was unreal.
4. Kawhi in the Clutch.
Kawhi is dominant and has proved it over the years.

He has previously proven to be clutch, even though this time last year, a lot of people didn't seem to like him too much over his choice of not playing at the end of the season for the Spurs.
5. Kawhi finally showed emotion.
Kawhi smiles?

While this was an intense moment, it may be the best news for the Raptors. Maybe he won't leave for L.A. like he previously made a big deal out of.
6. Can they take it all?

Kawhi has been in big situations before and has outplayed the competition. I mean, he was the 2014 Finals MVP. There really has only been one player that has outperformed Kawhi this postseason. That player is Giannis, who the Raptors will be going up against in the Eastern Conference Finals.
7. On to the next one.
A truly unforgettable moment

The Raptors are in a great spot. They don't have to worry about their kryptonite AKA Lebron James this year, and Drake found a way to beat his curse on sports teams, which is by wearing the other teams' garb which he did in game 7. If the Raptors can keep their current core, they could be back next year; Kawhi is essential in that. As for this year, they have to get past the most likely MVP, Giannis and I believe they can beat whoever comes out of the west...
