Doc Rivers praises Kawhi Leonard's 'unbelievable' work ethic

Transcript

00:00 Kawhi Leonard has unbelievable work ethic.

00:04 You know, earlier this week,

00:05 we talked about how Patrick Beverley worked out with him

00:08 and it changed his life

00:09 because it redefined what hard work is.

00:13 And today I spoke to Doc Rivers about, you know,

00:15 Patrick's experience with Kawhi

00:17 and Doc had mentioned that Kawhi literally has

00:21 an unbelievable work ethic and lost in all of that,

00:25 you know, people like to talk about the game management

00:28 as Doc said.

00:29 And in that game management talk,

00:31 people forget about how good of a worker Kawhi is.

00:35 Now he's not quite, you know,

00:37 Jordan, Kobe-esque levels of obsessive repetition,

00:42 but he's in that stratosphere

00:44 of guys who really take it seriously.

00:47 And Doc mentioned that it was so good for Pat

00:50 to go to San Diego and work out with Kawhi

00:52 so he can see what it's like

00:54 to see a player of his caliber work so hard.

00:58 And it makes one wonder,

01:00 we haven't heard from Kawhi all pandemic,

01:03 no social media, we didn't even know if he was alive.

01:05 So how hard has he been working this whole time?

01:09 How good of shape is he in

01:11 for three to four months of a hiatus?

01:15 A three to four month break.
