Apparently, the internet was taken for a ride yesterday by a Photoshop artist with an evil sense of humor, and rumors of the end of Kawhi Leonard’s braids was drastically exaggerated — read: faked.
Just received a call from people close to Kawhi...told me this photo is fake. So there's that. His braids are still intact. #Spurs #NBA pic.twitter.com/m3ARHr5TVK
