Kawhi Leonard was one of the most popular men in Toronto on Saturday night after the Raptors won the Eastern Conference Finals. It even paid off to look like Leonard.
One Leonard lookalike got royal treatment during celebrations of the Raptors’ win. This fan, who wore a Kawhi jersey, ended up on the shoulders of other fans, who chanted, “M.V.P.” The Leonard-lookalike seemed to embrace the moment.
Leonard finished the game with highs in points (27) and rebounds (17). He was 9 of 22 from the field and struggled from the 3-point line while shooting 1 of 8. But he contributed with seven assists, two steals and two blocks while leading the Raptors past the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6.
Without a doubt, this fan was more outwardly excited than Leonard, who delivered a typically flat-line interview following the game. Leonard has always had an understated presence, even when heading to the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
