NEW YORK — It sounded like the ending to a Hall of Fame speech.
A perfect summation of his career.
In reality, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry was simply talking about being one of the most productive players in the NBA over the past decade.
During the 2010s, only six players had a higher VORP (Value Over Replacement Player) than Lowry, the engine behind Toronto’s turnaround as a franchise: LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul.
Pretty impressive company.
And yet …
“No one ever looks at me like that,” Lowry told Yahoo Sports from the team’s Manhattan hotel on Saturday.
