Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger had a chance to work with Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, and he can't help but be impressed by the personality of the reigning Finals MVP, per LA Times' Arash Markazi.
“Kawhi is great. He’s very funny and very natural on camera.”
Schwarzenegger appeared in a commercial with Leonard and fellow Clippers star Paul George. It was intended to promote the upcoming movie, Terminator: Dark Fate, and it aired before the NBA's opening night. Arnold liked what he saw from both Kawhi and PG.
“The finished product turned out great,” Schwarzenegger said. “… Both of those guys were very funny and natural.”
Schwarzenegger is a low-key NBA fan, and although he said he'll be rooting for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers to win it all this season, he'll also keep an eye on Leonard and the Clippers.
“They’ve created their own little special thing and that’s really important for the identity of the Clippers. LeBron has his own thing with the Lakers and I wish him well. The focus is on the personalities this season. With Kawhi and Paul, the Clippers have two of the best personalities, and they’re fun to watch. I’m going to tune in to watch to see if they can pull it off this season.”
The Clippers are the heavy favorites to win the 2019-20 NBA championship, and Leonard is the main reason for that. The reigning Finals MVP has already led two franchises to a title, and now he's gunning for his third Larry O'Brien trophy.
And it's safe to say that Kawhi will ‘terminate' anyone who'll stand in his way.
