For some unknown reason in the biggest hockey game of the year the broadcast had former basketball star (and hockey fan) Charles Barkley on during the first intermission. When asked who Sir Charles would compare current NBA star player Kawhi Leonard to, Barkley shouted out the Penguins’ Sidney Crosby.
It makes sense, Leonard’s 30.9 points per game in these NBA playoffs is right up there with the league leaders, as is his 9 rebounds per game. Leonard has put the Toronto Raptors on his back and led them to currently within one game of winning an NBA championship, with a chance to win Game 6 tonight.
