68 Words or Less — Raptors
Neil Peart Rules!
Editor’s note: Katie is Canadian so while it may seem like this preview has more than 68 words, when taking into account the exchange rate between Canada and the US, this post more than fits under the limit.
There is a lot of speculation about whether or not Kawhi Leonard will stay in Toronto after this season and I’m here to tell you that none of it matters so long as Kawhi isn’t reunited with the Rush shirt that he wore on set during the filming of a Spurs in-game clip where he, Matt Bonner, Aron Baynes, and Patty Mills formed a band called Spuran, Spuran.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that his interest started to wane enough, eventually leading to injury and sitting out for a season, not long after the lighthearted spoof was filmed? The shirt was brought to set by a production assistant named Bryce, who borrowed it from his burnout uncle, who, when he found out the shirt had been taken demanded it back because he “could give a shit about basketball.” Kawhi loved the shirt, though, and not wanting to return it, stashed it in Aron Baynes’s locker.
There’s a reason Kawhi isn’t wearing the shirt in the music video, and that’s because the coward Aron Baynes claimed he “lost” it.
If the Raptors have a hope in hell of keeping Kawhi, they’ll need to track down the shirt, or at least find him a new one in a country where everyone’s father is federally mandated to have one.
