His time is now: You can see Kawhi Leonard, but he doesn't care

♪ You can't see me, my time is now ♪

The beat is booming, trumpets blaring. The crowd is hyped —anticipation of something amazing will do that to you.

Normally, this would be the paragraph where John Cena isdescribed. How he plays to the crowd, the message he gives to thecamera conveniently zoomed in on him before he flashes the "Never Give Up" towel and runs tothe ring.

Instead, the music just happens to be playing during the fourthquarter of the Toronto Raptors-Los Angeles Clippers game onWednesday night.

Kawhi Leonard trots up the left side of the floor with OGAnunoby, the best perimeter defender in the league by many (read:my) accounts, waiting for him near half-court. Eric Gordon steps upto set an early drag screen, but Leonard rejects it to continue hisleftward path.

Leonard gains inside leverage — doing that a lot, these days —and meets Jakob Poeltl at the rim. Well, more accurately, he getsto the rim and Poeltl just happens to be in his way. It sucks forhim, because he wasn't stopping the funk coming his way.
