"In 2019, the Toronto Raptors made an improbable run to the NBA Finals, winning it all in six games over the two-time defending champions, the Golden State Warriors. Today, the Raptors look nothing like that squad, with Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell having since moved on to different teams. VanVleet and Powell both shared that championship together as teammates and have maintained a connection ever since."
"This season has been one of Powell's absolute best in his NBA career, and his contributions as a role player are finally getting recognized in a spotlight fashion - an achievement that could have happened last year, but will certainly happen this year, as the 11-year veteran just made his first NBA All-Star game. Norman Powell gets a shoutout from former teammate Fred VanVleet over his first-ever NBA All-Star selection"
In 2019 the Toronto Raptors won the NBA Finals in six games over the Golden State Warriors. Fred VanVleet and Norman Powell were teammates for five seasons and won that championship after Kawhi Leonard's playoff heroics. Powell left Toronto two years later for the Portland Trail Blazers; VanVleet remained with the Raptors a few more seasons before joining the Houston Rockets. Powell is now in his first season with the Miami Heat and is having one of his best NBA seasons as a role player. The 11-year veteran earned his first NBA All-Star selection and received public praise from VanVleet on X.
