Kawhi Leonard’s postgame interview with TNT came to a very abrupt, and awkward, end

Kawhi Leonard looked very much like the best basketball player on the planet during Toronto’s Game 1, 108-95, win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

He scored 45 points and had 11 rebounds as the Raptors jumped out to a 1-0 series lead at home.

Following the game Leonard was asked by TNT to have a live postgame interview with sideline reporter Rosalyn Gold-Onwude. She asked him a question about how he’s able to shoot over defenders and he gave a boring answer about how his teammates trust him and he practices a lot and then the interview abruptly came to an end.

Gold-Onwude tweeted after this interview that they had to get to Game 7 in Denver so they had to quickly wrap it up, which was more than fine with Kawhi:

Kawhi’s postgame interview got cut short and he was okay with it 😂 pic.twitter.com/fXBh2BjuXe

Follow up: We had to get to the next game so the interview had to end immediately. But I think the way that played out is wayyy funnier and better than any 2nd or 3rd questions I had 😂😂😂 good sport Kawhi ☺️

What’s more awkward: Kawhi Leonard being rushed off in his post-game interview or them including the airball (twice) that came at the end of some nice ball movement by the Nuggets? LOL #PHIvsTOR #SASvsDEN #NBAPlayoffs

@kawhileonard 😂😂best postgame interview ever!!!
Tnt: “How you able to separate yourself hit those tough shots?”

Kawhi:”My teammates have confidence in me.. we work on it in practice ”

TNT ”Alright, we gotta go”

You’re a God btw GG’s 45 points poggers
