description: Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device! One of many riveting reads in the Basketball Biography Books series by Clayton Geoffreys.Newly revised, in this 2020 edition of Kyle The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's All-Star Guards , you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's All-Star guards, Kyle Lowry. The Toronto Raptors rise in the NBA in recent years has been largely attributed to Kyle Lowry's leadership as he helped guide the Raptors to their first Atlantic Division title in several years. The long journey paid off in 2019 when Lowry alongside Kawhi Leonard won the NBA Championship.Aside from fellow star guards Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook, few point guards in the NBA can score as easily as Kyle Lowry. It's no surprise Lowry was often compared to Tim Hardaway when he entered the league, as Lowry has the unique ability to not only score at will, but also make smart decisions on the floor.No journey to NBA stardom is ever quite the same. Some players have had the star pedigree ever since the day they were born, only to be given the status as a superstar even before getting into the NBA. Michael Jordan is an example of this, as he immediately became a star the moment he became an NBA player and had already shown what he could do as a superstar back in college. LeBron James is another great example of that kind of a star-caliber journey. He was figuratively given the brass ring even before he set foot on an NBA floor. This was rightfully so because he already had star quality, even before he became a professional player.There are also those players whose potential was already apparent, but they needed maturing and sharpening. Kobe Bryant, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard are examples of that. Everyone knew they had the talent, drive, and the work ethic to become stars because they were able to showcase the combination of physical tools and skills early on. But they needed time and experience before they reached their full potential and before they could truly claim that they were meant for stardom. After the passage of time, those players evolved to become some of the best of their era.Did you enjoy this excerpt?
