Fred VanVleet needs to go to his local Walgreens (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is – it appears to be Shoppers Drug Mart), get his heinie right over to the gift card aisle, and pick out a tasteful thank you card with a cute elephant or other animal on it for purchase. Then, once the appropriate amount of Canadian currency has been exchanged with the cashier, he needs to take the card home, find a working pen, and write within the card something akin to the following:
“Dear friend Kyle,
Thank you for being injured so I can prove to fans and front offices around the NBA that I am a viable starting point guard in the league. I hope that you and your thumb make a full recovery, but I also hope that you suffer multiple setbacks on your thumb to the point that you decide to sit out the whole season in order to avoid damaging it further.
Also thank you for letting me try on your championship ring. It was fun to see what wearing two of them feels like. I’ll be sure to return the favor once we win another one this season (hopefully with you watching from the bench so I can play 45 minutes per game in the playoffs). You’re a real good friend.
Sincerely yours,
-Fred VanVleet”
Then Fred needs to put this card inside a tasteful envelope (which should have been purchased at the time the card itself was purchased) and either leave it right in Kyle Lowry’s locker or use the Canadian postal service to mail it to his residence. Only in this manner will the proper amount of thanks be conveyed.
