NBA All-Star Reveals Hilarious Untold Kawhi Leonard Story

Kawhi Leonard is actually a funny guy.

Many NBA players say that Kawhi Leonard is actually a "fun guy" and that it isn't just a moniker. No one has specific stories to tell about the hidden secret, but thanks to Paul George and Terance Mann, it looks like fans have a glimpse of one.

In the newest episode of Podcast P, Paul George, and Terance Mann had a conversation about how Kawhi Leonard is surprisingly one of the funniest people in the NBA.

"Surprisingly funny, I’d say is Kawhi," Terance Mann said about Leonard. "The sh*t he says and the moments he says it is hilarous! So say a coach or somebody is giving a serious talk and they mess up and say something that he won’t agree with, he’ll just blurt it out and say “nah that ain’t it.” It’s just funny shit like that."

Paul George had his own version of the story to tell, complete with perfect Kawhi Leonard mannerisms.

"This sh*t was funny," George said. "When you airball in practice you gotta stop play, you gotta drop the ball and run back….So I do it, everybody abides by the law…. So Kawhi airballs and everybody’s looking around like who’s gonna tell him we’ll wait. And now I’m looking at B-Shaw [Brian Shaw], B-Shaw don’t say nothing…You ain’t gonna say nothing? So finally, Whi, says, ‘I’m not running,” and B-Shaw says nobody is above the law. He [Kawhi] is like it’s basketball, I’m probably gonna airball again. You not about to coach me or teach me that airballing is not good. It’s part of the game. I’m not running."

For a perfect rendition of the story, here is the exact clip of it from Podcast P.

One of the best secrets of the NBA is the enigma that is Kawhi Leonard. He has no social media, he completely disappears in the off-season, and very few know who he actually is. The ones that do know him though, have some pretty fantastic stories to tell.
