00:00When it comes to the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard is a much different player.
00:04The reigning finals MVP proved why he's arguably the best player in the NBA when the
00:10playoffs start.
00:12When it was the closeout situation against the Dallas Mavericks, Kawhi hit three jumpers
00:17in a row in the clutch time moments of the game to make sure the Clippers had the cushion
00:21that they needed to close out the series and get ready for the second round.
00:26Paul George called him a man of business.
00:28He stepped up, he stepped in and said, I mean, time after time, you know, whenever
00:31we need him, he puts us on his back.
00:33He finished the series for the Clippers and he can't say enough.
00:37Doc Rivers said, you can tell Kawhi was the one guy that shoots to close out a series.
00:44He was calm and he got everybody in place.
00:47Now for Kawhi, a lot of it really is just business.
00:50He's just there, you know, to play a game, to have fun.
00:53And while everyone in the world was impressed with what Kawhi can do, for him, it truly
00:57is just business.
00:58And it's a game where Kawhi is out there to prove that he can win.
01:02And what he said himself at the end of the game was, the most fun you have is coming
01:07out here for me is playing in a basketball game.
01:10And that says probably the most you can need to know about Kawhi Leonard when it comes
01:14to the game of basketball and how he chooses to tackle it.
