Kawhi Leonard was as advertised, a man of few words dedicated to his profession above all else.
“I’m a fun guy,” the Toronto Raptors forward said at a much-anticipated news conference at the Scotiabank Arena on Monday morning.
“Obviously I love the game of basketball.”
Leonard was appearing in public for the first time since being acquired along with Danny Green for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a first round draft pick in July.
He was much the same as he’s been throughout his time in the NBA, all with the San Antonio Spurs: Quiet, serious and focused on basketball.
