Spurs' Kawhi Leonard was too busy working out to do anything with the Larry O'Brien Trophy
The San Antonio Spurs have taken the Larry O'Brien trophy across the globe since winning the NBA Finals in June, but it got some much needed rest when it was time for Kawhi Leonard to take the iconic award.

The Finals MVP told the San Diego Union-Times that he was simply too busy with his three-a-day offseason workouts to do anything fun with the trophy, instead letting it sit in his apartment while the Spurs' staffer assigned to keep watch over it sat by the pool.
Leonard did manage to find the time to take it to his annual basketball camp, but told the Union-Times the hardware did not mean much to him.
“I’m just a low-key guy,” he said. “I’m just happy we won it. I don’t even care about the trophy. The title matters the most.”
Not quite as exciting as videobombing unsuspecting Australian reporters, but it probably makes coach Gregg Popovich pretty happy.
