Kyle Lowry is absolutely relentless. Need proof? Look no further than this amazing sequence from the Toronto Raptors’ hard-fought win over the Phoenix Suns last night. After Eric Bledsoe easily steals his pass, Lowry races back to block the shot, steals a loose ball, and finds Terrence Ross on the other end for a layup – all in just less than 13 seconds.
That’s Lowry’s wholly unique game in a nutshell: ugly; angry; bullying; opportunistic; and skillful. He showed off those attributes on the game’s definitive play in crunch-time, too, ripping Isaiah Thomas’ dribble with under 30 seconds left to help seal a win.
Lowry wasn’t an All-Star last year. That was a mistake. The league’s coaches won’t make the same one again in 2014-2015, mostly because Lowry’s excellent play won’t let them.
