Show notes

After nine seasons as a Toronto Raptor, Kyle Lowry is leaving for a three-year, 90 million dollar contract with the Miami Heat. He led us to our first-ever championship and along the way become the heart and soul of an entire city and country — an honour awarded to few athletes. Who was the man behind the title? How did he shape the team? And how will they go on without him? Guest: Doug Smith, Toronto Star Guest-host: Fatima Syed We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
