    I think the comma between same and old makes the le read as though Kawhi is still old.

    I still remember Blair at this point in his career... all day in twitter, with the rap and the bling... You can tell why the Spurs love Kawhi, he's a gym rat and takes his job professionally...

    The part of the article I found quite interesting was this:

    “I always forget how much money he has,” said Castleberry, his closest friend from high school and college who recently was hired by the Spurs in their video and player development unit. “You forget because he doesn’t live like that. He doesn’t splurge.

    Nice move by the Spurs hiring his best friend to help insure he won't want to leave SA if it comes down to restricted free agency, or god forbid unrestricted free agency. Make it feel like a family... the Spurs WAY...

    ^ good point.

    Love Kawhii like a fat kid loves cake. Confident PATFO will ensure that he's not going anywhere in due time.

    This guy is pure gold. I don't think the Spurs knew just how great they had it when they got him. Humble, wants to be the best and is willing to put in the work to get there.

    I looked up Kawhi Leonard's fullname and then..look what I saw. THE ****?

    Maybe its because I'm in Florida and google is using local cookies or some . Maybe I'm just being a homer. >_>

    Yes, they do. Every year usually brings 2-3 more commercials, and I expect Kawhi will be present for at least one next season.

    SDSU's Jeremy Castleberry: "The consummate team player"

    “I mean, I’m not going to get any more playing time if I shoot 500 shots, but I just really love basketball,” Castleberry says. “I really like going out there and shooting 500 jump shots. I like doing that.”

    Which helps explain why he is best friends with Kawhi Leonard.

    They have been close since playing together on an Inland Empire AAU club as 14-year-olds and then for two seasons at Martin Luther King High in Riverside, and Castleberry regularly travels to San Antonio during school breaks to see Leonard play with NBA’s Spurs. But their friendship is rooted in more than familiarity and cir stance; they are basketball junkies, both of them.
    “Two people who really, really love basketball,” Castleberry says

    “As a kid, that’s all you dream about, playing in the NBA,” says Castleberry, whose older brother, Justin, averaging 11.5 points and 33.1 minutes as a senior at Bucknell in 2008-09. “But I’m 5-9 and my best friend is 6-7, and he’s out there dominating. Once I had the opportunity to come here and I could continue to help him, I realized we could try and make that dream come true. And we did it"
    At first, Castleberry would rebound while Leonard shot and then Leonard would reciprocate in their endless stream of workouts. That changed one summer night at Peterson Gym after their freshman year.

    “Here’s the story of how I just became a personal rebounder,” Castleberry says, laughing. “We come in and (NBA star) Trevor Ariza was here, working out at the other end. But only Trevor Ariza is working out. His friends are strictly passing him the ball. Kawhi keeps looking over there and he’s like, ‘Jerm, you know I’m trying to get to the League. You see Trevor Ariza’s homies, they’re not out here shooting. We could cut our time in half.’“I’m like, ‘Dang, I just lost my jumpers.’”

    But here’s the thing about Castleberry. He squinted into the cloud and found the silver lining.
    “One thing it has helped is my passing. My passing is incredible, I will say that,” he says. “And the main focus is 100 percent on him. I have no problem with that. We started off together. I was there. We were really good friends when no one thought this was possible.

    “So when you see everything happening, just as happy as Kawhi is, I get happy, too
    .”

    Great article. Jeremy seems like a pretty cool guy and he's 100% a Basketball fan/junkie. That's the right guy to hang out with Kawhi and if he loves the game as much as Kawhi, then I can see why the Spurs hired him.

    Nice article. Thanks for sharing. Seems like a nice, hard working young man. In the article someone says, "he doesn't like to spend money". I hope for his sake he's getting sound financial advice, and no one else spends his money.

    why does he want to live in the ghettos of east san antonio? thats the only place you will find that is 5 minutes away from the spurs practice facility. get that extension and build your own gym in your backyard like tony parker lol.
