Why Everyone Should Be More Like Kyle Lowry, In Their Career And Life

Everybody loves Kyle Lowry . And how could they not? The 34-year-old is a kind of basketball magician, a quasi-powerhouse who some consider to be the greatest Toronto Raptor of all time. He is, in a word, remarkable and he was especially remarkable Wednesday night, when he dazzled with a fiery performance on the court in Game 6 against the Boston Celtics. Thirty-three points. Eight rebounds. Six assists. Two steals. Easy. The crowd went wild.

The internet went pretty wild, too. So many people were saying his name that it became funny to imagine the confusion of any non-basketball fan logging on to find social media had gotten a facelift and become a big party for Kyle Lowry.

Kyle Lowry is not appreciated as he should be, tweeted Philadelphia 76ers player Joel Embiid . Mike Lowry I mean Kyle Lowry, wrote Miami Heat player Goran Dragi . Magic Johnson admitted how much he loved to watch Lowry play. Stephen A. Smith called him the MVP of the game . Nick Wright said it was one of the greatest playoff games ever played, and that, when folks debate if Kyle Lowry is a Hall of Famer one day, they should look back on this game as proof. Unreal stuff from him, he wrote.

I love watching Kyle Lowry play! I call him the Little General because of his toughness, leadership, scoring ability, basketball IQ, and will to win.

MVP of this game is KyleLowry. Just a sensational performance on his part. 3s, steals, offensive fouls drawn. What a performance. Btw....what a game, period!
