“We have been intrigued by the energy and feel-good factor generated by the Raptors this season – culminating in their ascent to the ongoing NBA Finals,” remarked Peter Mayers, Director of BTMI in Canada. “We couldn’t think of a better way to share Barbados’ love for Toronto and the entire country. Kawhi truly deserves the Barbados experience and we look forward to welcoming him post-season.”
