Quiet Kawhi
Russell Westbrook is on the verge of a one-game suspension. His next technical foul will be his 16th of the season and will require him to miss action. Kawhi Leonard on the other hand is notorious for being a prototypical Spur: blue-collared and hard-nosed with a team-first mindset. Kawhi's demeanor on the floor never wavers. He is cold-blooded. A killer. He never gets too high or too low. While some may say his style is "boring" or "bland", that is just Kawhi. He has played in 465 games over the course of his career. In those games, the 25-year-old has just one technical foul. For context, Demarcus Cousins has about tripled that since he woke up this morning. I find this stat regarding Kawhi incredible and a testament to how controlled he is. He is almost robotic in a way. When the MVP discussion ramps up in the next couple of weeks remember this: One's greatest ability is availability.
