It seems to be the new thing in the NBA. When you get a star player, paint them around the town in larger than life ways. We saw how Los Angeles responded when they found out LeBron James would be joining the team, multiple murals, and now we see massive Kawhi tributes popping up around Toronto.
The one on Queen street everyone has seen, and itβs even recently changed to honour his game winner in Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. We now have another one thatβs popped up, and it may be the best yet. It is within the store OD Toronto, and it is awesome.
This mural is based after a photo that you may remember Drake tweeting about. In response to a Lou Williams comment, Drake claimed that he could write a freestyle solely based on that being album art.
Quite the iconic photo, it would go down as legendary if the Raptors manage to get past the Bucks and into the NBA Finals.
