1. Veteran Leadership

This is the trademark of Lowry’s style of play. It’s what has made him such a dominant player when he is at his best. He just has a knack for making clutch shots, motivating his team, keeping everyone focused, and leading his team to victory.

While Butler is one of the most notorious vocal leaders in the game, and Butler has taken his team to the Finals, Lowry has actually gone there and come out with a ring on his finger against a stacked Warriors team, and that edge could be what gives the Heat some stability against a loaded Eastern Conference.

Will Kyle Lowry help the Heat overcome the odds like the Raptors?

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks aren’t going anywhere in the long-term, the 76ers have enough star power to compete, and a healthy Nets team with that much firepower on the offensive end is enough to send shivers down Miami’s spine. At least Lowry can give them a puncher’s chance.

The Raptors were underestimated in the eyes of the basketball media for years, and it took a combination of Lowry and Kawhi Leonard to finally put the doubters to bed. Miami might face what some have deemed an impossible task in the East this year, but if we know anything about Lowry, he’ll have them fighting until the clock hits zero.
