Accolades aside, Leonard's goal remains — he wants to be great. He wants nothing to do with anything that will distract him from the goal. He's even declined money from endorsers willing to pay for his time.
“If (endorsers) want me to get out of the gym, it will have to be a lot of money,” he said.
Asked if he's been offered a good deal to sacrifice the gym, Leonard said, “Nah. Not as much as I want for me to not shoot the basketball that day. (Playing basketball) is what's giving me my money now.”
