The All-Star Game is a chance for plays, fans, and the media to take a break from the grind of an NBA season.
Often, it’s a chance for guys to let loose and have fun participating in honorary festivities. For Kawhi Leonard, it’s a chance to activate “Fun Guy” mode. The usually quiet and timid Leonard was having a bit of unapologetic fun on Saturday when he showed off his dance moves in the practice pre-game intro.

This side of Leonard is something we rarely see. In front of the fans and media, he appears quiet and reserved, only speaking when asked a direct question and not doing much of anything else.
Behind the scenes, though, he seems like a really fun guy. He likes to hang out, act silly, and have fun — just like everyone else.
This season, he’s proving once again to be one of the best players in the league. He’s averaging 27.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists while shooting 46.3 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 89.5 percent from the free-throw line.
Only time will reveal whether or not Kawhi will be hoisting up his second-straight Championship trophy this spring. Regardless, you can be sure he’ll have fun along the way.
