You get older, you stop doing some of the fun things you used to do. It’s part of growing up. You can’t stay up all night playing video games or drink a whole two liter of Mountain Dew while having a Halo party. You’re suddenly not as interested in ultimate frisbee or ska music. And that’s okay because there is beauty in the end of innocence.

In an interview with Chris Broussard, Kawhi Leonard revealed he hasn’t watched SportsCenter since high school. So what other staples of youth is the Spurs forward missing out on?
Ethan Miller
Even though the Spurs’ Kawhi Leonard is only 21, his stoic demeanor and approach to the game make him seem far older. It’s no surprise he revealed to Chris Broussard he hasn’t watched SportsCenter since he was in high school.
