00:00 When it comes to the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard is a much different player.
00:04 The reigning finals MVP proved why he's arguably the best player in the NBA when the playoffs
00:11 start.
00:12 When it was the closeout situation against the Dallas Mavericks, Kawhi hit three jumpers
00:17 in a row in the clutch time moments of the game to make sure the Clippers had the cushion
00:21 that they needed to close out the series and get ready for the second round.
00:26 Paul George called him a man of business.
00:28 He stepped up, he stepped in, and said, "I mean, time after time, you know, whenever
00:31 we need him, he puts us on his back."
00:33 He finished the series for the Clippers and he can't say enough.
00:37 Doc Rivers said, "You can tell Kawhi was the one guy that shoots to close out a series.
00:44 He was calm and he got everybody in place."
00:47 Now for Kawhi, a lot of it really is just business.
00:50 He's just there, you know, to play a game, to have fun.
00:53 While everyone in the world was impressed with what Kawhi can do, for him, it truly
00:57 is just business.
00:58 And it's a game where Kawhi is out there to prove that he can win.
01:02 And what he said himself at the end of the game was, "The most fun you have is coming
01:06 out here, for me, is playing in a basketball game."
01:10 And that says probably the most you can need to know about Kawhi Leonard when it comes
01:14 to the game of basketball and how he chooses to tackle it.
