Every time we find out something new about Kawhi Leonard, it confirms how fascinating he is even if he appears on the surface that he’s focused solely on basketball and doesn’t care about anything else. A few weeks ago, I deemed him “interestingly uninteresting” on a FTW chat.
There’s his Twitter account that embodies Leonard, his weird laugh and his sneaker deal with New Balance. And now, we have a taste of his trash talk.
The Athletic put together an oral history of Leonard of his days with San Diego State, and it didn’t disappoint — some his former teammates discussed what he used to say to opponents and it is GOLD!
“Buckets. Layup” is so robotic, but “board man gets paid” is absolutely my new fantasy basketball team name next season. That’s so Kawhi.
