Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson engaged in a spirited 3-point compe ion during Friday’s shootaround, continuing a routine that began late last season.
(Spirited from Jackson’s standpoint, at least. He chattered throughout while the stoic Leonard mostly kept his mouth shut.)
Leonard took a rare victory over Jackson, chipping into what he says is a substantial lead for his veteran teammate.
“He’s got me, for sure,” Leonard said. “This is our first game this year, so I’m up 1-0. We’re going to keep shooting. He calls me over and we have a compe ion. I like it.”
