In today’s Big Story podcast, after nine seasons as a Toronto Raptor, Kyle Lowry is leaving for a three-year, $90-million contract with the Miami Heat. He led us to our first-ever championship and along the way become the heart and soul of an entire city and country — an honour awarded to few athletes.

Who was the man behind the title? How did he shape the team? And how will they go on without him?
