You know how there is this perception floating around the NBA about Kawhi Leonard that he does not like to have fun? Well, ahead of the practice session for the NBA All-Star game 2020, the Los Angeles Clippers Forward entered the building to prove them wrong.
Coming out of the bay and onto the court, Leonard choreographed some dance moves with the kid he was supposed to walk along with. Some shoveling, some bopping, throwing in a little bit of those good old stanky legs and to top it all, he even managed a smile at the end of the routine.
And as you would have guessed it, the announcers were losing their minds describing this rare occurrence taking place in front of their eyes.
The official Twitter handle of the Clippers had to post the moment:
Fans from all over the world joined the announcers in expressing their reactions towards Kawhi Leonard dancing:
Having said that, the ‘fun guy’ part of him quickly disappeared while he was answering media questions during the All-Star practice. One of the reporters asked him what he had for dinner last night and Leonard snapped:
Now, I know that Leonard is all about playing basketball and that question was not about the game, but it is the All-Star weekend, nobody plays basketball during this time. Chill out, breathe a little and just loosen up a bit, Kawhi. DAMN!
Since then, a lot of people have come to the rescue of the reigning NBA Finals MVP, saying that he was right in shutting that reporter down, but many feel that Leonard is digging his own grave in terms of likability amongst the basketball fans.
As a member of Team LeBron, Leonard will be donning jersey No. 2, which was Gianna Bryant’s number, who lost her life alongside father, Kobe Bryant and seven other people in a horrible helicopter accident.
