When asked about ‘Playoff Kawhi’, Klaw responds with ‘I don’t even know who that is’
“I don’t even know who that is. I just can’t give you the whole spiel. I don’t even know where you sitting at. Hua ha ha ha ha…”
legit LOL’d
Yea I cackled out loud at this multiple times, thank you.
English question, is this extra funny because it has deeper meaning “don’t know where you sitting at” was probably meant literally as a joke but it can also mean “i don’t even know you personally”.
And you bought into that?
He’s inadvertently one of the most entertaining players ever to watch in interviews even though he’s trying not to be 😭
I would love to see a day in Kawhi life video
“First thing I do when I wake up is unplug myself from the charging station”
“Then Ibaka hit me up saying he made a pizza”
“Then I wait for Uncle Dennis to input my commands for the day.”
“First thing I do when I wake up is finish my workout and then become conscience. Then I open my eyes.”
“I don’t know what that even means. Everyday you see me is a day in the life of Kawhi.”
do you like strip clubs????
His toronto laugh is genuinely legendary. Like such a fucking weird but perfect laugh where Im still not sure if he was forcing it or if thats just him
I laughed in his laugh just thinking bout this
Somebody put a laugh on each of the bounces against the 6ers that year that was hilarious.
Bro has the personality of a cardboard box
It’s just how he is to the crowds/media, most of his teammates say he’s actually super funny/jokey
You should watch him on serge ibaka YouTube cooking show. He’s actually really funny and charming
Mr. Snuffleupagus
The spurs did commercials and they are the funniest shit ever haha
Yeah cause when a cardboard box acts like a person, it’s funny
Shaedon Sharpe reminds me of him in this way. He answers everything so literally and you can tell he has no interest in talking to the camera.
Reporter: Shaedon, some are calling tonight’s dunk the dunk of the season! You were high flying and threw down an absolute hammer!!! Tell us a little bit about how that moment happened.
Shaedon: ya I pump faked and saw a lane so I dunked it.
Reporter: Wow, compelling stuff! Thanks so much Shaedon. Congrats on the win!
he’s def a little mad a the media for roasting him all summer
he doesn’t even know who the media are
Doesn’t even know where they’re sitting at right now
HUA
I’m sure you care way more about that than he does
Kawhi isn’t gonna fuck you bro
Why not he’s fucking your mother
Shit I’m bout to be paid let’s go imma call her
hey it’s me ur long-lost brother
We’ve always been tight remember that time i picked up your pencil in 5th grade? Time to repay that favour!
Kawhiiiii Leonard, he’s the love of your life, Kawhiiiii Leonard, he’s fuckin’ your wife, And you wish you had braids!
Dude only knows PAYOFF kawhi
Board man gets paid
Bored man gets paid
Lmfaoo
“I don’t even know where playoff Kawhi is sitting at”
- laugh
Crazy that not even he believes players magically get better in the playoffs.
He was with “playoff P” for years and doesn’t want that all over again.
It is a rare breed who improve their performances in the playoffs, most regress due to the increased competition, higher level of defensive intensity & of course the brighter lights of that stage. You expect it to be more difficult and, therefore, for performances to be less impressive than the regular season where there is lots of opportunity to beat up on bottom feeder teams. But every once in a while a player comes along who thrives in that environment, guys like MJ, LeBron, Dirk, Hakeem and more recently Luka and Kawhi have lifted in the playoffs. There is nothing magical about it, just anomalous….which is exactly what greatness is.
I wouldn’t say it’s that rare. Almost the norm for superstar players. Duncan, Kobe, Jokic, KG, Manu, KD, Doncic. They all turned it up in the playoffs
I think it’s kinda natural. Superstars are superstars because they are more skilled than normal players, especially in isos.
Defenses tighten up and stars play more iso ball so the spotlight is more on them.
He left him in Canada
Truth.
He probably doesn’t even remember playing for the Raptors LOL
“Aspiration was paying Playoff Kawhi. I’m just Kawhi.”
He has a .700+ win %. He’s winningbasketballgameskawhi
funniest man in the NBA
I love how he is shitting on Ty lue
More context: Basically Ty Lue said this is playoffs Kawhi that we are seeing right now
what do you mean more context they said that in the video
90% of commenters clearly didn’t watch the video
I know but there is more context into it because Ty lue talked after the game about “playoffs Kawhi”

Playoffs Kawhi would be going supernova for a game or two and then getting a season ending injury somehow
I know it’s been said a lot, but their locker room is nice. Every time I see a video in there I always think they cornered a player in a luxury hotel lobby or high-end store. Then I see a players name plastered in the background and remember.
The deadpan is the real highlight
Was waiting for the fun guy laugh and was disappointed
Being willfully obtuse is Kawhi’s default approach to life it seems
Thoughts on scaffolding then?
He’s a Fun Guy, dude
I don’t know her
Same
“I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
Nobody knows who that is. Man hasn’t been healthy enough to play in the playoffs consistently
Pleighuf Cuhwaui, of course he doesn’t know him.
Is playoff kawhi even a narrative? I know healthy kawhi is. The run he’s been on is great, but if it ends how we suspect it will then it’s just a cycle of the same thing.
I feel this thrill going up my leg when Kawhi speaks.
Kawhi doesn’t aspire to be anybody but himself.
Did he do THE LAUGH after?
how about Pablo Kawhi
he must find out who he is
As he should say. Kawhi never had the “16 game player” label and it shouldn’t start now
Well he sure ain’t gonna meet him this year
No show up to work Kawhi
Bet he would give back all that Aspiration money if he never has to do an interview again😄
I’m glad he doesn’t give a fuck 🫡
“Kawhi Leonard, who are you?”
Someone should ask him how he decides to the Aimbot on and off. I want to hear his answer
I beat he doesn’t know Playoff P either!
“I don’t even know who that is” 😂
He don’t know who that is cuz he always unavailable postseason
He blacks out during the playoffs and his other personality takes over
Yea we don’t either
“what i do in the playoffs is none of my business”
holy fuck dude….this is the fun guy??
At least he has a better personality than his sister. IYKYK
He always seems deeply depressed
That’s because Playoff Kawhi hasn’t existed since 7 years ago. Maybe Klaw forgot who that guy is.
Your math is in the gutter. 2021 Kawhi was the best version of Kawhi
It most certainly was not lol. Raptors championship Kawhi was the best Kawhi, or one of the Spurs iterations.
Nah he was balling tf out in 2021 until he tore his acl. Clippers had a good chance of winning the chip had he not gotten injured. He was really good in 2023 until he got injured too.
I just don’t see how a version that got injured before actually accomplishing anything is better than the guy who actually got it done and had an all time iconic playoff series winner but he was obvs very good in 2021, not denying that
Because calling someone a playoff variant doesn’t have the standard of winning a ring as the best guy
Game 6 against the Mavs is legitimately one of the best games I’ve ever seen anyone play. It’s not crazy to say that’s his peak
It’s arguable between 2017 and 2021. He shot an absurd +12 rTS across his runs in both years
2019 kawhi won a championship and a finals MVP averaging 30/9/4 with almost 2 steals a game.
2021 kawhi could maybe have gotten there but he tore his acl
He didn’t tear his acl, joe ingles bitch ass tore his acl
Exactly joe ingles has always been a dirty player. Absolute piece of shit.
If I said how I REALLY feel I would get banned right off Reddit. So I’ll only say I agree with you completely
You sound like a scared bitch ass, speak your mind or stfu
Mind ya damn business, grown folks talking
Im 47 lick my taint, top 1% commenters are always fucking losers
I’m a loser? Look how you’re acting…also top 1% means my comments get a lot of upvotes, not that I have the top 1% of comments. Sending you healing energy
2019 Eastern semis against 76ers was insane. 35/10/4 shooting 53% from the field
he had a couple few big games against us just last year as well
He’s the GOAT of part time players lmao
he had one “playoff kawhi” game
7 years ago? lmao
Life has a way of making us someone who our younger self would not recognize. Happen to all of us.
Genuinely think this man has ASD
most definitely
Kawhi is the load of Management.
PO Kawhi is the management of Load.
What a weird answer. Everyone knows what this means.
