Everyone knows about Leonard's title campaign with the Raptors. Initially, Leonard's stint was tagged as one of the biggest risks by a general manager. After all, when Masai Ujiri traded for Leonard, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year was in the last year of his contract.
If the Raptors end up with a failed campaign, then there's no real guarantee that Leonard will stay with them long term. Fortunately, the Raptors won it all against all odds. Though Leonard signed with the Clippers over the summer, the story at how the Raptors won the title is now regarded as one of the greatest sports narratives ever.
With the Spurs, Leonard was considered an up and coming player back then. While he was overshadowed by the trio of Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and Tim Duncan, Leonard showcased his defensive ability during his stint there. His first title was at the expense of the Miami Heat — a team comprised of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. There were on the verge of completing the three-peat but Leonard put their dreams to a grinding halt.
