The Toronto Raptors infamously managed to acquire former San Antonio Spurs swingman Kawhi Leonard this past offseason. As a result of Leonard's presence north of the border, the Raptors now sit just one game away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals where the No. 1 seeded Milwauke Bucks await.
With only the Philadelphia 76ers standing in their way, Leonard and the Raptors will take on Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid in Game 7 on Sunday evening in Toronto. Despite the magnitude of such an outing, Leonard doesn't appear to be too nervous.

Not much really changes for Leonard between playoff games either, as the former Spurs standout just spends quality time with his family . Even with advancing in the postseason on the line, Leonard remains calm and collected so it seems.
“Just hanging out with my family pretty much,” Leonard added. “Hanging out with my daughter, watching TV, playing games with her… The most important thing is family.”
Leonard is no doubt one of the best players in the entire NBA, and his efforts throughout this postseason have only solidified such a notion. If he and the Raptors can make it one step closer to the NBA Finals, perhaps Leonard would consider sticking around Toronto for the long haul.
