Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard tells Rachel Nichols of ESPN that he likes to go fishing, golfing and hang out with his daughter when he's not playing basketball.
Leonard says when he's in a basketball setting, he's always going to be serious and quiet. However, the Raptors star admits he's a different guy when he's off the court.

Leonard is arguably the quietest superstar in NBA history. The three-time All-Star, two-time Defensive Player of the Year and 2014 Finals MVP just wants to play basketball and win as much as possible. He doesn't care about the fame or media hoopla which comes with being a global star.
Leonard and the Raptors are two wins away from winning the 2019 championship. Kawhi will have all the time in the world this summer to fish, golf and hang out with his daughter if Toronto can win this series against the Golden State Warriors in five games.
As we all know, Leonard becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. It's going to be fascinating to see what move Kawhi decides to make.
