We all know that Kawhi Leonard is a different kind of guy than most. The quiet, gentle-natured Los Angeles Clippers star doesn’t seem to like talking to the media very much, and he stays off of social media for the most part, instead prioritizing time with his friends and family.
While he would likely rather not speak publicly at all, you can’t be a player as good as The Klaw without the noise simply following you around. For better or for worse…
Given that he’s a guy that goes about things in a different way, we sometimes get moments of gold simply stemming from him being so genuinely different. “Board man gets paid” is a good example of a time when fans questioned whether he was human at all, or whether he was some sort of basketball robot programmed to act like a human.
We love the Board Man story, but the famous “Apple Time” rumour that circulated about Kawhi absolutely takes the cake in terms of hilarity.
Kawhi is just weird enough to make you wonder “…is there a tiny chance that this could be true?”
As likely everyone figured, the rumour is not actually based on fact. On Wednesday, Kawhi Leonard joined Jimmy Kimmel Live and set the record straight.
He DOES have an apple tree, though?!
Okay, fine. We’ll let the rumour die. Anyway, here’s a clip of Kawhi joking around about how his hand size was indirectly the REAL reason he decided to leave Toronto.
(H/T Jimmy Kimmel Live!)
