    Kawhi Leonard,who won the 2014 NBA Championship with the Spurs and was named the Finals Most Valuable Player,finished the 2016-17 season with averages of 25.5 points,5.8 rebounds,3.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game in the regular season,and 27.7 points,7.8 rebounds,4.6 assists and 1.7 steals in the playoffs.Then he was selected to the All-NBA First Team for the second time in his career,as well as earning All-Defensive First Team honors for the third time in three years.He's hopeful the playoffs happen to him again next season.

    He lived up to his reputation as the quiet man of the NBA in Beijing on Friday,but that didn't mean he wasn't enjoying himself.The San Antonio Spurs star rarely gets too animated—at least off the court.However,as he explained,people shouldn't read too much into it—it's simply his humble manner.

    Two-time All-Star Leonard is on week-long trip to China - his first visit here - until Aug 24 to promote basketball.Leonard hosted a basketball clinic in Beijing on Sunday for talented migrant school-kids,and on Saturday also met fans at NBA 5v5,the league's five-on-five tournament for elite players in China.

    The 26-year-old will then pay a visit to the NBA Academy Zhejiang in Zhuji,an elite training center which opened last November,to put the young talent there through their paces.“Just make sure that you also take care of your school work.If you are not fortunate enough to get into the NBA,you still can get a scholarship,a degree.”

    Leonard will wrap up his trip by making a special appearance at the NBA Play-zone in Shanghai,an NBA-themed family entertainment destination.After that,he's back home to focus on the build-up to the new season.
