TORONTO \u2014 In his basketball dotage, Kyle Lowry is getting soft.<\/p>\n
In his playing prime, Lowry never would have graced the media with an appearance before a game while his Philadelphia Eagles were playing \u2014 much less push 10 minutes in responding to queries after the Eagles had just surrendered a touchdown in a playoff game. He also wouldn\u2019t let anything get in between him and the utterance of a four-letter word.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes, I try to talk to those guys as a coach,\u201d Lowry said of working with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, young guards who are the pillars of the team. \u201cAs a player, I wish I could say certain things or say, \u2018Do this or do that.\u2019 It\u2019s that balance of I know I\u2019m not on the court, so I can\u2019t yell at them or curse at them. But I can say, \u2018Hey, here are the things I see. Let\u2019s try to do that.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, how the old Lowry would struggle to recognize this one. Then again, it would have been tough to envision Lowry, the hyper-competitive point guard who was at the centre of the Toronto Raptors\u2019 longest run of success, settling for a role that is halfway between coach and player.<\/p>\n
Coming to Toronto for possibly the last time of his career \u2014 although a playoff series between the two teams is very much on the table \u2014 this version of the franchise\u2019s most beloved player is difficult to identify. A little more than two months shy of his 40th birthday, Lowry has played just 43 minutes over five games this season. Sixers coach Nick Nurse, who first coached Lowry in 2013 as an assistant with the Raptors, called the veteran a \u201cmiddle man\u201d between him and the players, with insights on when the team can handle a practice and when the players could use a day off, among other things.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not that Lowry never had the intelligence that would allow him to fill this role; it\u2019s the patience that was the question mark.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not the patience. But I know his character, deep down,\u201d said Raptors veteran Garrett Temple, a friend of Lowry\u2019s who has played a similar role for Toronto for the last three years. \u201cI don\u2019t want to say it was once he got out of the mode of being a competitor, but when he got out of the mode of \u2018I\u2019m that guy,\u2019 then character-wise, he wants to give back. That\u2019s the type of person he is. I\u2019m not surprised he was able to flip the switch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout my career I had the opportunity to be around a guy like Fred VanVleet,\u201d added Lowry, making reference to his former apprentice in Toronto. \u201cThat kind of (told me), \u2018Why not try to continue to do that and help a guy like Tyrese Maxey.\u2019 And then, you get fortunate enough and they draft a guy like VJ. You got two young guys. And Jared McCain. Sometimes, the game gives you something you have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Again, the old Lowry might have scoffed at signs from the universe. There is something in it for him, beyond the veteran\u2019s minimum. In a year in which LeBron James is breaking a record by playing in his 23rd season, Lowry is up to 20. As he pointed out, he is just the second player at 6-feet or under to make it to the milestone, although it feels like John Stockton, who was listed at 6-1, should be in the club with Lowry and Chris Paul.<\/p>\n
Clearly, it\u2019s a special thing to be able to hang out in the league for so long, but it\u2019s strange. Nurse said he will remember Lowry as one of the most competitive players he has ever coached, able to make three or four winning plays in the span of 60 seconds. He cannot do that anymore. Inevitable, certainly, but no less frustrating, one would imagine.<\/p>\n
It was funny to hear Lowry call this season \u201cstress-free.\u201d What made Lowry so great was how he worried about everything, looking for a way to exploit every moment. He is the all-time leader in trying to encourage the referee to hand him the ball as an inbounder while the other team argues a call.<\/p>\n
Regardless, he has found a way to contribute. You get the sense it matters to him, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the older you get, like, I get really emotional \u2014 like, I\u2019m getting emotional,\u201d Lowry said of the Sixers\u2019 guards enthusiasm for his brand of teaching.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means a lot, because I really give to them the purity of how I feel about them \u2014 sacrifice. I don\u2019t care about myself as a basketball player. I know at the end of my career what I\u2019ve done. What I\u2019ve done is I\u2019ve given everything to the game, everything I could possibly get to this game, physically and mentally, so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
At halftime ended on Sunday evening, Lowry\u2019s Eagles had just surrendered the lead back in Philadelphia, a game they would ultimately lose. There were about four minutes left in the football game. It seemed a safe bet that Lowry might hang back and watch the end of the game. Instead, he was out with his team. That is literally his job, so don\u2019t confuse that with heroism, but it was notable.<\/p>\n
Paying attention to his career, it seemed impossible that Kyle Lowry would not rage against the dying of the light. Instead, Lowry seems happy. He seems at peace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
