After the Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, Raptors All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry said he was going to bring the Larry O'Brien trophy “to the hood.”

Lowry fulfilled his promise on Friday, as the Raptors guard brought the Larry O'Brien trophy back to North Philly:

Kyle Lowry was born and raised in North Philly. It's been a helluva ride for the five-time All-Star, who began his NBA career with the Memphis Grizzlies back in 2006 as a bench guy and has now turned himself into a championship player.

Lowry has one-year left on his deal with the Raptors. He’ll make $33.3 million next season. Lowry signed a three-year, $100 million contract with the Raptors in the summer of 2017.

Last season, Lowry averaged 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists while shooting 41.1 percent from the field, 34.7 percent from beyond the arc and 83.0 percent from the free-throw line. In the playoffs, Lowry put up 15.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists. The Raptors defeated the Warriors in the NBA Finals in six games.

Superstar small forward Kawhi Leonard left Toronto after one season to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency. Some around the league believe president Masai Ujiri might look to trade Lowry, center Marc Gasol and power forward Serge Ibaka at the 2020 February trade deadline if Toronto doesn’t have a good record.

The Raptors, though, should be able to compete in the Eastern Conference next season with Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka, Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby leading the charge.
