Leonard isn't controversial. There aren't rumors about him feuding with teammates, he doesn't try to get his coach fired, he doesn't bitch about not getting the ball enough or not getting the last shot, he doesn't talk shite about the media disrespecting him.
Right.
But the quiet, reserved thing is also a double-edged sword just like the superstar thing. Leonard's looking at players that are getting all kinds of endorsements even though they aren't as good as him.
Unless you are phenomenal, like amongst the best that the sport has ever seen (think Barry Sanders), someone with Kawhi's personality is never going to get the full credit for his play that he deserves. That goes hand in hand with getting passes though. He's going to be the guy that only hardcore basketball fans remember 50 years from now.

Do you think he really cares? The guy drives a 12 year old Chevy Tahoe because it 'is paid off'.
