Kyle Lowry says he is ‘kinda’ Canadian in NBA Finals party

Kyle Lowry, the beloved former Toronto Raptors point guard, remains a passionate supporter of Canadian basketball even after five seasons away from the team. During a recent WhatsApp watch party with former NBA stars Kevin Love and Channing Frye, he humorously declared his attachment to Canada, highlighting that there are currently four Canadian players participating in the NBA Finals: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin from the Indiana Pacers.

Lowry jokingly referred to himself as 'kinda' a Canadian citizen, emphasizing his ongoing connection to the country and its athletes. He also praised Pascal Siakam, his former teammate, noting how Siakam blossomed into a star in just three years. Lowry's comments reflect his enduring legacy in Toronto, where he ranks prominently in franchise history for games, minutes played, and points scored. With rumors swirling around his retirement, he remains a vibrant presence in the NBA community.
