Kawhi Leonard says thank you to the Spurs in the most Kawhi Leonard way possible

THANK YOU.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Kawhi Leonard released his first statement since being traded to the Toronto Raptors and there are a lot of THANK YOUS, with a healthy dose of awkwardness.

I had a few immediate observations after seeing this:

  • I wish I was cool enough to have an logo of my initials to end the letter with.
  • I like that Kawhi used the same text color that I do when my printer runs out of black ink.
  • I respect going for the Times New Roman. It’s such a basic font that it’s become a boutique font at this point.
  • I don’t want to be mean, but how in the world did this take weeks to come up with?

The Spurs haven’t responded. We’ll see if they stay a little salty.
