I just want to make something clear – those Raptors throwbacks are clean. Sometimes I don’t get why certain jerseys exist for certain teams, and why they got rid of their “throwbacks” in the first place. Alas, I digress.

What I really want to make clear is I’m a big Kyle Lowry fan. For some reason I’m drawn to stocky (stockier?) guards playing at a high level.

Take for example Jameer Nelson. When I was first getting into the NBA, he was still on the Magic, and I was jut drawn to his game. Now? He’s been a great starter for Denver with Mudiay struggling so heavily, and almost landed them a postseason berth. (By the time this is released, I’m assuming they’ve been eliminated from making the playoffs).

Lowry reminds me of Nelson – that run-and-gun, fun-loving, high-IQ floor general who just makes everyone around him better.

Lowry could re-sign with Toronto in the offseason, and probably will. I’m just hoping he changes his mind.
