I was living in Qatar back then making stupid money. There was also an NBA store near my place. I participated in an indecent amount of shopping therapy to make up for missing the championship run in person.

I crazily have 500-700 worth of 'chip merchandise still in the packaging, waiting to be displayed, let alone the stuff I have actually worn.

I lived in Qatar for two more years after the chip. I shudder to think how much I would have spent.

The Omn1s/Kawhi sigs are actually pretty solid ball shoes I’d imagine I’d have a few more pairs if he’d stayed.

250-499 is a jersey, so probably that one

Lol, he can't do anything to make me wear NB shoes.

$0. I'm sure there's a shop that would've done it for free at the time.

Same, and a jersey (although they may have been a china jersey lol)
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Get 28 million and do nothing plus 20 million in stock. Or stay in Toronto and endorse everything possible hoping to come close to that amount in a few years of working like crazy with some luck.

The idea that he would gamble and stay here another year after seeing him barely be healthy enough to play makes no sense either.

Him winning another title in the covid season with Toronto wouldn't add that much to his legacy. He has already won twice. His personality limits his fan appeal more than anything.

Well I bought his board man gets paid shirt so probably if Toronto runs it back and wins the bubble chip I would have bought a second jersey and his signature show

In many ways I feel new balance has become cool now since he went onboard and they’ve now got more athletes on their roster. I still don’t mess with their shoes but clothing for sure.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Some guys just aren't fun.

Is the definition of fun to buy plastic replica clothing that is outdated by next season to prop up the bread and circus of an unsustainable capitalistic economy?


It's really not that serious. People should do what makes them happy. But to answer the question, $0 as well.

i disagree he'd have made a nations worth of money here. the second biggest country in the world. the rizz of a natural resource powerhouse. he'd make at least three times that i have mans in flinflon manitoba willing to spend $$$$ serious $$$ for the kawhi experience.
