Kawhi Leonard drives 1997 Chevy, hoards coupons for chicken wings

Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard might be the most laid-back All-Star you’ll find in the league. Apparently, that attitude extends beyond the basketball court.

As detailed in a Sports Illustrated cover story this week, Leonard still drives a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe he’s had since high school, despite having signed a $94 million contract last year.

"It runs," Leonard told SI, "and it's paid off."

That’s not the only surprise from the article. Apparently he’s addicted to chicken wings — Mango Habanero from Wingstop, specifically — but he strongly prefers using free coupons the company sends him instead of paying full price.
