When Jimmy Kimmel had former Raptors star Kawhi Leonard on his show, the basketball player revealed his hands were always cold in Toronto because he could never find gloves that were big enough. But Roots has got Leonard's back (and fingers), and the company proved it with its latest Twitter post. Editor's Choice: Here Are The Changes Coming To Toronto Workplaces Starting Today Hey @kawhileonard, we heard you couldn't find the right size gloves while you were here in Toronto. If you ever come back to Canada, we've got you covered! 😉📸 @dszczepanek pic.twitter.com/BKjpIfAA4y— Roots (@ROOTS) January 4, 2021 Ad agency partners and Torontonians Dan Szczepanek and Allie Keith made the photo and pitched it to Roots over social media. The clothing brand loved the idea. Keith used Photoshop to design the gloves, which means they're unfortunately not for sale in any Roots stores. "I'm sure if there's enough demand, it might be something the Roots team would consider making," Szczepanek told Narcity over Twitter. Leonard talked about the problems of having giant hands when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on December 16. That's when Kimmel asked him if he left the Raptors because of having cold hands all the time. "Oh man, I just couldn't find gloves that fit [in Toronto]," Leonard replied with a laugh. But now that Roots has solved the problem, it should only be a matter of time before Leonard returns to the Raptors — right?
