Nick Nurse was asked about Kawhi Leonard, because of course he was. The Toronto Raptors coach was asked, have you ever seen another player play this level of basketball in the playoffs? Nurse has been on the Raptors staff since 2013. It was a bit of a trick question.
“Umm, in person?” he asked. Yes.
