Kawhi Leonard will face his most difficult task to date when he tries to lead the Toronto Raptors to victory on the road against the Golden State Warriors later in the NBA Finals, but his official apparel partner seems confident he can come out on top.
Fans who have driven down the freeway in Oakland this week may have noticed a giant billboard with Leonard’s image and a message that says “The King Of The North is Coming.” It also has red X’s through Toronto’s previous playoff opponents, with only Golden State remaining.

The Raptors are off to a good start after their 118-109 win at home in Game 1, but keeping it up will be the tough part. Leonard continued his excellent postseason play with 23 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
Even if they did suffer some ugly losses at home this year, the Warriors are incredibly tough to beat at Oracle Arena. We doubt that Leonard billboard is going to intimidate them.
