The Toronto Raptors took on the Milwaukee Bucks in a clash between two best teams in the east. Both teams are locked in on their positions, but this just might be a short teaser of the likely eastern conference finals this year. Raptors veteran Kyle Lowry had to sit out for this one due to a back injury. But the 34-year-old receives all the camera attention that he needs, even from the bench!
The Raptors soared with a good lead over the Bucks early on in the game and maintained it thick till the third quarter. Lowry could not refrain from getting into a bit of the action, as he held arguments with the referees at one point.
While that quickly settled down, Lowry once again caught the attention of the camera with his gimmicks. As his team was in a solid lead, Lowry could not hold back from getting into some fun with the camera that was focusing on him.

The reigning NBA champion was clearly delighted that his team was in sheer lead with the help of rookie Matt Thomas and Norman Powell, who really went off in the first half. Thus Lowry couldn’t help from playing with the camera just for a moment.

Kyle Lowry: A Toronto Raptors legend
When you talk about the legends who have played up north, a few names would ring in your mind. Vince Carter is definitely one of them. Chris Bosh is definitely a Raptor legend too. However, a current player in the roster has already established himself as a hero in the city of Toronto.
If you look at Lowry’s achievements as a Raptor, the 2019 championship stands large in his resume. However, Lowry is also outstanding in terms of individual contributions to the franchise thus far in his career.
Ever since joining the team in 2012, Kyle Lowry has been closely attached to the Raptors. He is the cornerstone of the franchise, and his stats back him up on that. Lowry is right up there in the Raptors’ history books.
He leads the All-time franchise charts in assists and 3-point FGs made. Not to forget, he leads the entire franchise in the number of steals made. Moreover, Lowry has played the second-most games and has registered the second-most minutes for the Toronto Raptors, just behind his dear friend DeMar DeRozan.
