NBA fans everywhere are having a range of hilarious reactions to Kawhi Leonard recently telling a reporter to turn off their camera light when they interviewed him. The Clippers star has been pretty brazen as of late, and it looks like fans are lapping this up.
Fans are pulling receipts of just how quiet Kawhi used to be in the past and how much the player has come out of his shell as of late. Leonard has been dropping truth bombs, one by one, in the recent past and fans are loving this new side to the player.
“Kawhi did NOT like the bright camera light in his face (crying emoji) ‘Damn you shooting a move? Turn that sh*t off’ (skull emoji)” Bleacher Report tweeted, sharing the video of Kawhi’s interview.

“Kawhi is starting to say more of whats on his mind, he used to never want to talk now he’s talking about slushies,” one fan said.
“Kawhi’s always been low-key. Gotta respect the commitment to avoiding the spotlight, even when the spotlight is inevitable.” One more fan said.
“Kawhi out here hating on the paparazzi again (laughing with tears emoji)” another fan joked.
NBA Fans Continue To Mock Kawhi Leonard For Latest Interview
NBA fans are continuing to troll Kawhi Leonard for the latest interview that he had, where the hooper can be heard telling the reporter to turn off their bright camera light. Fans have been cracking jokes about Leonard’s eccentricities, especially with the player clearly loving staying off the spotlight as much as he can.
“His processors are bad with raytracing so when people shine light on him, he starts to get all messed up. He was developed around 2011, so it makes sense. Pretty sure he was a MSI GTX Ti-448 installed,” one fan said.

“We always joke about jokic disappearing after basketball but I am sure we not gonna hear from kawhi when he retired (laughing with tears emoji)” another fan hilariously commented.
“Kawhi just wants to clock in, drop 32 points to beat the Lakers, and go home to a dark room with zero stimulus. The ‘Board Man’ does not do cinematic lighting. (skull emoji, robot emoji)” one more fan joked.
Despite talented players like Kawhi Leonard being on the team, the Clippers have done a shoddy job in this campaign. The team clearly has issues in unity with the players openly displaying poor team spirit throughout this year.
