Kawhi Leonard is a fairly reserved superstar, he has kept to himself for most of his NBA career. Being a quiet individual doesn’t mean Leonard doesn’t have anything to say though, and sometimes he can be quite entertaining.
In 2019, Kawhi Leonard was on the Toronto Raptors. He appeared on Serge Ibaka’s ‘How Hungry Are You’ program at the time, when Ibaka asked him about his celebrity crush. And without revealing anything, Kawhi gave a pretty funny answer.
“Celebrity crush? I can’t say that man,” Leonard said. “It’s too close for me. I can’t say that, man… I have a girlfriend, she watching this. She watching this for sure. This is too close to reach, it’s not like we regular dudes, you know what I mean?”

That was an epic answer from Leonard, not only because it revealed that he does have a celebrity crush but also because it makes it sound like he knew them. Leonard’s personal life hasn’t ever hit the tabloids, and he has two children with his girlfriend, a real family man. But it does make one wonder who his celebrity crush could be.
Considering that Kawhi Leonard probably knew at the time that he would be moving to LA to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, it makes sense if his crush is a Hollywood actress. Kevin Durant’s tweets about Scarlett Johansson back in the day show that this wouldn’t be rare for an NBA superstar. It could also have been a musician or pop star, a lot of them are based out of California as well. Thanks to his answer, though, we’ll likely never know.
Stories About Kawhi Leonard Show He Is Just A Normal Guy Despite Being An NBA Superstar
Many NBA superstars change a lot after acquiring the fame and wealth that comes with being one of the best. But Kawhi Leonard seems to have remained the same despite everything else. His college teammates once revealed how he used to talk trash, and his demeanor on the court hasn’t changed much since then.
Even when he signed his first big contract, Leonard was worried about losing coupons for free wings from Wingstop. There isn’t a lot Kawhi Leonard couldn’t get in this world if he wanted to get it, but time and again, he has shown that he would prefer to keep being himself rather than act like some people might expect him to.
