When the Toronto Raptors acquired Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs last year, they were also able to get Danny Green as part of the deal. The duo has now played eight seasons together.

Green has been really impressed with Leonard's phenomenal playoff run, and now that the Raptors are on the verge of making history, he said that he's grateful to be able to play with Kawhi for so long.

Green has seen the ups and downs of Leonard's career. He was there when the Spurs came up short of winning the title back in 2013. He was there when Leonard took the league by storm the following year by almost sweeping the Miami Heat the following season. He was also there when Kawhi was dealing with all sorts of controversies surrounding his injury.

Now, Green is still with Leonard, and they are about to win their second championship together.

Leonard is playing at a different level at this point of the season. He almost single-handedly carried the Raptors to the Finals. The early parts of the season haven't been easy for the former Finals MVP, but he's worked very hard to be where he is now.

The Raptors are leading the Finals series 3-1, with an opportunity to finish things off in Game 5 on Monday. Fans can expect Leonard to be at his best, as that will be one of the most important game in the All-Star forward's career.

But whatever happens this season, Green will once again be there to witness it, and he's fortunate to be a part of greatness.
