The video Kawhi Leonard released across social media on Dec. 27 was well-produced, but cryptic.
The LA Clippers star drives up to a lake, listening to a message from someone who pleads with him to address the various tasks and responsibilities he's got on his plate. Recovery, family, media engagements. He purses his lips and looks down at the phone, which is interrupting his tranquil escape.
As the voicemail continues, he gets out of the car and sees a fisherman. He walks toward the man.
Sitting next to a white bucket holding a basketball, and a small stereo, the man casts into the ripples.
