The game long over, his team falling for the fifth time in a row, Myck Kabongo still had a long list of tasks to complete before he left Mississauga on Wednesday.
The Toronto-bred point guard, currently playing for the Erie BayHawks in the NBA’s D-League, had a quiet day against Raptors 905 with two points, four assists and three rebounds to his name. The 106-95 final didn’t matter much to the swell of school-aged fans that had stuck around after the game. The crowd grew as Kabongo posed for pictures with them, shook hands and signed whatever — backpacks, thundersticks, phones, the sneakers off their feet — they put in front of him.
