The debate over whether the Toronto Raptors would have won the NBA title in 2018-19 with DeMar DeRozan instead of Kawhi Leonard is intriguing. While DeRozan expressed confidence in his abilities, many statistics highlight Leonard's superior postseason performance that season.

Leonard averaged 30.5 points and excelled in defense, particularly in the intense series against the Philadelphia 76ers. His performance was pivotal in the Raptors defeating formidable teams, leading to their championship victory. While DeRozan has had a successful career, his playoff achievements have not matched Leonard's impactful contributions during that title run.
