It was late in 2014 when James Johnson, then on the Raptors, compared himself to the popular Marvel Comics character Wolverine. He had bounced back quickly from injury; we thought nothing of it at the time. Fast forward two plus years and now Kyle Lowry, undisputed leader of the Raptors, had this to say while he too recovered fast from hurt:
Kyle Lowry, asked about his ankle: "I'm Wolverine, man. You know Wolverine? I'm Wolverine, except for when I die, I'mma just die"

Folks, not everyone can be Wolverine.
