Four years ago, Kawhi Leonard was traded to the Toronto Raptors. In his introductory press conference, he made the following comments, which would go down as one of the most memorable moments in NBA history.
“I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself.”
Leonard played with the Raptors for one year. However, he led them to their first and only NBA title in 2019 against the Golden State Warriors in the Finals. Leonard’s comments strongly contrasted his personality, and r/NBA reacted to the same on its fourth anniversary.
