I’ll preface this by saying that I have no hard proof, but hopefully, the story is as cool to you guys as it was for me. So, I went to the gym today with my friend. The gym we go to isn’t just a gym, it’s a like a full athletic facility, weight rooms, courts, pools, the works. We always go on Friday, but usually not till night time. We went today around 1pm today, played a little basketball, then we went to go lift. So we’re doing our thing, and I can’t help but notice this huge guy in the corner doing some type of exercise with a trainer. I mean, he was by far the biggest guy in the room. He was wearing a hood, pretty tight, so I couldn’t see his face. It was him and the trainer working, and some guy watching them. So, I’m in the middle of my set, I see this guy turn around, and I looked at his face. Right before, I was thinking, this is probably just another football player, cause we have a couple NFL players that come to this place to train sometimes. No big name guys, but the people at the desk have told me that that some people affiliated with the NY Jets defer from the training facility to come here and work because it’s closer. Anyway, he turned around and I immediately looked at him. This guy already had my attention since he was huge, and I wanted to just get a good look at him. I saw his face and I was like holy shit, that looks just like Kawhi Leonard. It was really weird, like, I was thinking there’s no way Kawhi fucking Leonard is right there. I was honestly thinking in a state of denial for a second. Idk if any of you have ever seen someone famous in public, but I never had. It was like, I know who this person is, but I had a very hard time believing that they were actually right near me. So, I walked up to him as he was walking away from his station, and I just said “yo”, not really knowing how to approach this situation. Immediately, he said “sup” and put out his fist, so I fist bumped him, then he kept walking away. The other guy in the corner walked up to me and asked me if I was a fan. I just said “is that Kawhi?”. He said, “yes, I’m his uncle”. So, right now, I’m fucking starstruck. Kawhi walks back over and I asked him if I could get a pic and he said “nah, sorry.”, then he walked away. His uncle said that Kawhi is strictly staying off social media right now and that it wasn’t anything personal. He said that if I wanted, Kawhi could give me an autograph. I didn’t know what the fuck to do cause I had nothing that he could sign. I ran to the showers and grabbed my towel, then got a sharpie from the desk. This was pretty stupid, in hindsight, cause this took like 5 minutes. I probably could’ve just grabbed a post-it from the desk and had him sign it, but I was honestly in like a delirium. I got back, and they were gone. I went to the desk and I was like, “Does he really go here?”. The guy said “Kawhi?, yea, once in a while”. I was in fucking disbelief. I had just met Kawhi Leonard, and he fist bumped me. NBA champion, Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard fist bumped me. It was honestly one of the great moments of my life, looking back. At the time, I didn’t know what the fuck to do, but holy shit. It was so fucking cool.

TL;DR: Met Kawhi at the gym, he fist bumped me.
