The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night and, as is the custom whenever they take on someone the team has had or has interest in signing or trading for, the question of who they rooted for as a child came up, and Kawhi Leonard made it clear he was never a fan of the purple and gold. Or so he says.
Most kids growing up in Southern California had a pretty easy choice as it pertained to their NBA allegiances. Leonard wanted it known that he went against the popular pick and was not interested in rooting for the Lakers, as he told Mirjam Swanson of the OC Register.
