Right after a Game 5 win which put his team up 3-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard was asked what it felt like to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks four times in a row. His answer is the most Kawhi thing we've ever heard.

Per Legion Hoops, the interview went on as follows:

The reporter, Kristen Ledlow of ESPN, got too excited when she approached Kawhi Leonard. After all, the former Finals MVP is regarded as this year's top playoff performer. On top of it all, he's doing it with an ailing right leg.

At one point in the series, the Raptors were down 2-0. This means they have defeated the Bucks three times in a row. In the regular season, the 60-win Bucks never lost three games in a row.

The Nick Nurse-led Raptors are doing something unprecedented. Once the Bucks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, analysts were pretty much convinced that they had the capacity to extend their regular season success to the postseason.

But now, down 3-2 at the hands of Kawhi Leonard and company, their championship dreams seem to be slowly slipping away. But you simply can't blame them. They're facing Kawhi Leonard, a player who is quickly forging a legacy as one of basketball's best.

Kawhi Leonard is one win away from becoming the most iconic figure in Canadian professional basketball history. For all the ways in which Kawhi has grown as an NBA figure in these playoffs, one more win on Saturday would create an exponentially more consequential transformation of his reputation in league circles.
