Happy Birthday Kyle Lowry!
Kyle's a six-time NBA All-Star and an NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors, as well as a member of the U.S. national team that won a gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Lowry played two seasons for the Villanova Wildcats before being selected by the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the 2006 NBA draft. After being traded to the Houston Rockets, Kyle was dealt to Toronto and helped them reach the playoffs for the first time in seven years to win an Atlantic Division title in 2014 season. The next year he led the Raptors to 56 wins and helped the team make the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time.
Lowry is one of the greatest Toronto Raptor players of all time, after turning the franchise around, from the post-Vince Carter era to a title contender and bringing the franchise its first championship in 2019. This year he was traded to the Miami Heat and helped push the team to the top of the Atlantic Division and a possible 1 seed in the coming playoffs!
Happy Birthday Kyle, the magic city is ready for another championship.
