I'm just here to play basketball and have fun and try to win another championship.
Kawhi Leonard -
You definitely see a difference in some guys' games when they do get paid. I'm trying to make sure I'm not that player.

I played basketball when I was little because it was fun for me. It still is now. I just love it. I have a passion for it.
Kawhi Leonard -
My motivation wasn't really to get a $95 million contract, you know?
Kawhi Leonard -
I've got to learn how to create shots for others.
Kawhi Leonard -
Tony Allen is a good defender, very smart.
Kawhi Leonard -
Coming in, I wanted to be a great player, and right now at the beginning of my career, I'm showing some slight sunshine that I can be the player I want.
Kawhi Leonard -
I'm just going out there to do my role, the same role - defense first - and then see how the ball turns out on the offensive end.

-
I don't care about winning an MVP - the MVP doesn't mean you're the best player in the league.
Kawhi Leonard -
Playing football helped me a lot. Just reading the quarterback's eyes and reading receivers, figuring out what they want to do.
Kawhi Leonard -
I like the old-school muscle cars.
Kawhi Leonard -
I like being the underdog so they don't expect what's going to happen. It pushes me to work harder and do the things I'm not doing better.
Kawhi Leonard -
I'm just happy that people like the way I play.
Kawhi Leonard -
I could be on the court for two hours, and it felt like 10 minutes. It made time go by.

-
I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.
Kawhi Leonard -
I just think repetition and getting the game reps shooting the ball in games really helps, rather than just practicing. You can get game timing.
Kawhi Leonard -
Winning is motivation.
Kawhi Leonard -
At the end of the day, we all know what the Jordan logo means, and you can't take anything away from that. But it's pretty cool to have my own logo on a Jordan shoe.
Kawhi Leonard -
Obviously, I like guys that can defend other positions. Draymond Green is doing a great job with Golden State. Jimmy Butler brings it every night when I'm out there.
Kawhi Leonard -
I could have gone to a bigger school. I use it as motivation going to a school that loved me. I wanted to put them on the map and show everyone that you don't need to go to a top school to make it in the NBA.

-
I look at film, but more than watching individual players, I'm trying to watch a team's whole offensive scheme. I'm trying to know their tendencies so I can... guess. That's what it comes down to, really, making the best guess.
Kawhi Leonard -
Oh man, I like Chevys.
Kawhi Leonard -
I'm just happy that I get the opportunity to do the things on the court that I do in practice.
Kawhi Leonard -
If I get noticed for my individual performance, that's what happens. Other than that, I'm just trying to win the game.
