How do Kawhi Leonard -- and Steph Curry -- train their brains? Strobe lights (yes, really)

WITH 20 SECONDS left in the third quarter of the young season's biggest game, Gregg Popovich screams. He wants everyone out of the way so that Kawhi Leonard can go to work against Andre Iguodala. Leonard waits near half court as his teammates shuffle to the corners. Popovich walks two steps to his left, assuring himself a great view, then happily crosses his arms. Then he gives the go sign.

Leonard begins, slowly walking toward one of the NBA's most feared defenders with a loopy, hypnotic dribble through his legs. Once, twice -- a third time.
