He was injured by the warriors and questioned by the spurs. He said where he wanted to go - they didn’t listen to him and sent him to Canada out of spite. He beat the warriors to win the championship and MVP in one. year.

As a huge Spurs fan, this is a bittersweet moment. I'm very happy for @kawhileonard, he deserves this so much. However, I wish he was still with us and we were the champs but it is what it is. This just hurts tho... #IStillMissKawhi #NBAFinals #Raptors pic.twitter.com/WH217bAbUz

Its bitter sweet to see Kawhi Leonard win a championship as a @spurs fan but I WILL TAKE IT. If GSW would have won i would have lost it. All year long every damn Sports Anchor and basketball analyst wouldn't shut up about the Warriors winning the championship. #NBAFinals

Kawhi Leonard
He was rightfully upset angry and didn’t trust the Spurs ANYMORE
and wanted out
So the Spurs thought it was a PUNISHMENT to send Kawhi to the Toronto Raptors
It only ended up being GOD’S PLAN!

So as a die hard Spurs fan I would like to say, this is whack. The Raptors are whack. Kawhi Leonard is extra whack. I’m well aware the Warriors are whack, but not as whack as Kawhi. I’m a heartbroken man
