Number 2: Kawhi breaks out his dance moves
Honestly, I had a tough time not putting this at the number one spot. Kawhi Leonard is a fun guy. That has been established since the beginning of his stint last season with the Toronto Raptors. Since that press conference, Kawhi has done nothing but continue to confirm just how fun he really is.
On Saturday, Team LeBron and Team Giannis had a joint “practice” where the media could watch them go through shootaround, players could joke, and fans could come out and watch.
As part of the ceremonies on Saturday, each team had their players introduced. The players walked out with a kid from the charity that their respective teams would be competing for. Kawhi’s introduction took the cake.

Ignoring Reggie Miller‘s absurd yelling about Kawhi smiling, this is a great moment. I’m not going to pretend to know what that dance move is called but the fact that he actually took the time to plan it out with the young lady he walked out with is remarkable.
Sure, it was a little awkward but we can tell he genuinely was having fun out there and was glad to be a part of the All-Star festivities. I think he had a little more fun on Sunday though…
