Lowry is already the franchise's all-time leader in assists, steals, 3-pointers and triple-doubles, and he now climbs up one more spot on the all-time scoring list. He still trails former teammate DeMar DeRozan, who has a comfortable lead on his best friend.
Player | Points | |
1. | DeMar DeRozan | 13,926 |
2. | Kyle Lowry | 10,288 |
3. | Chris Bosh | 10,275 |
4. | Vince Carter | 9,420 |
5. | Andrea Bargnani | 6,581 |
After the game, as reported by TSN's Josh Lewenberg, Lowry had this to say on the achievement, "To pass a guy that's a Hall of Fame finalist – shoutout to Chris Bosh and what he did for this franchise, just carried it for a while – to pass him is an honour. It's something I never shot for but it's amazing."
This is Lowry's ninth season in Toronto, where he has tallied six All-Star appearances, one All-NBA nod and one NBA championship – the first in franchise history. His case as the Greatest Raptor Of All-Time becomes even more undeniable with every re-written page in the franchise's history books.
