I actually find a statue to be a bigger honour than a retired jersey. Retired jerseys are a dime-a-dozen throughout the league. But statues are reserved for the truly special ones.
A statue of Kawhi crouching after the Shot would be appropriate as a descriptor of the glory of last season, and arguably a higher honour than anything Vince or Lowry would get, but also as a different thing than the honour they would get, which was more to do with body of work.

He was the main reason why we won that championship though and his name on the banner isn't any bigger than the other names on it. He deserves a better honor. In 15-20 years, people should know it was Kawhi that brought us that banner.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Yeah but it also shows other stars what type of honour you might get here if you play for Toronto. Great sales pitch actually.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Do FA really look for that? Winning a championship is a first priority. I don't think winning in Toronto is somehow more special than winning in New York or LA if we're being completely honest.

We're talking about jersey retirement though. If Raps retired #2, than you could say to other stars.. win here as the best player and we'll do the same for you. LA may not even retire Lebron's number even if he wins it all. NY might... no idea what Dolan would do though.

Didn't he get awarded the NBA Finals MVP? He wouldn't have won the title without the other guys, don't forget that. They won as a team and he was the star player on that team. No one is ever going to forget Kawhi Leonard's 2019 playoff performance. Its up there with any of Jordan's seasons. His legacy is sealed.
Jordan was an easy decision.. he played there for his entire career (sort of) and is a GOAT. But my point is, Raptors may never win another. And Kawhi got us that one. He was Jordanesque. He should deserve more than just a name on the banner with everyone else's. Statue is way too much. His jersey should be retired IMO.

Yeah sure.. but we're talking about a Raptor honour. He brought us that championship. Yeah he had help. Jordan's number is retired. Steve Kerr's and Dennis Rodman's aren't.

Kawhi Leonard posted dominate numbers for 84 games for the Raptors.
