Kawhi Leonard playing on Fathers Day

[omgitsvicki]

With everything that happened to his dad I feel so bad for him :(

Is that when Michael Jordan shined one time? This will motivate him and he'll play great! This kid is a tough competitor, but it is really sad how his dad was taken from him.

Damn, that's so sad.

Would have been so much sweeter if we could have clinched on Father's Day... but we WILL win game 5.

And it was his dad, who Kawhi credits as the one who instlled within him, his now legendary work ethic and attention to detail. Apparently, his dad had him washing cars over the summer. If Kawhi did them wrong, his dad would make him do them over again.

Timmy could have an inspired game as well considering what is going on in his personal life.

I think game 5 is set up to be a classic. So much emotion will be felt on sunday and i hope its enough to energize the spurs and its fans. This will not be for the feint of heart.

He's a great kid! His Dad would be so proud. I'm sure he'll play with all his heart in his honor. I'm pretty sure he does that everyday he goes on the court anyway. :king
