What a difference a year makes. Last year, Kawhi Leonard found himself in a controversial situation with the San Antonio Spurs, while the Toronto Raptors were swept out of the playoffs by the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers. But everything changed in the summer of 2018 when Leonard was traded to the Raptors. He propelled the team to a 58-24 record and led them to their first-ever NBA Finals appearance. It's safe to say that Toronto has fallen in love with the quiet, hard-working star.
Get Your Kawhi Leonard Jersey
If you're a fan of the Toronto Raptors, a resident of Toronto or Canada, or simply a fan of Kawhi himself, there's no better way to show off your Kawhi Pride than with a Kawhi Leonard jersey. Let's take a look at the different options available:
Kawhi Leonard Jerseys in White, Red, or Black
These officially licensed Kawhi Leonard classic Toronto Raptors jerseys come in two versions: the classic NBA jersey and the NBA Finals "Fast Break" edition. The only difference between the two is the patches on the back. The classic NBA jersey features the iconic NBA logo above the name, while the NBA Finals jersey has an NBA FINALS patch sewn in.

The red version of these jerseys was worn by the Raptors when they won the NBA Championship in 2019. The white version was a collaboration between the Raptors and Drake's OVO brand. These jerseys are limited edition and can be purchased directly from Nike.
