Kawhi Leonard will forever have a place in the hearts of sports from in the city of Toronto and the country of Canada as a whole. Despite becoming a LA Clipper in the off season, it can’t be denied that the NBA superstar assisted the Raptors to their first-ever championship last season and the team is forever grateful. Last night, Leonard made his first trip back to Toronto since signing with the Clippers. The Raptors had a huge pre-game ceremony planned where they even presented him with his championship ring. These Raptors rings are pretty massive and the players have been quite excited about them.
After the game, Leonard spoke about his ring and how there is an “F you” symbol on it. Of course, he meant there was a middle finger engraved on his ring which had some fans thinking the Raptors were being petty. As he told Michael Lee of The Athletic, the symbol was simply to remind him which finger the ring is fitted for.

Kawhi Leonard said he has a middle finger emoji engraved inside his TOR championship ring – which is the size of spaceship but looks normal on his hand – but there isn't some hidden message: "It reminds me, 'Put it on my middle finger.' " Spurs ring was sized for his index finger
