Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry but I guess you know now….
That Kawhi Leonard’s got dance moves? Maybe?
Players across the NBA reacted when the normally-reserved Kawhi Leonard busted out some (half-hearted?) dance moves in Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy” music video, which was released along with his Certified Lover Boy album on Friday.
How did @Drake get Kawhi to dance for him? 😅 pic.twitter.com/zXtF9g34q1

Leonard wasn’t the only NBA player featured in the album though, as Drake also dropped references to LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks tweeted out the lyrics referencing their star, which appeared in “7AM On Bridle Path”:

Meanwhile, Trae Young began to ruffle more feathers in New York after he questioned if Drake has surpassed Jay-Z.
Yo when we gonna say Drake has passed Hov ?🥴

Donovan Mitchell wasn’t having any of that, though.

Young did make his true feelings known later:
Everybody, Hov #1 to me.😂💯

However you feel about the album, one thing’s for certain: Kawhi Leonard sure seems like a fun guy.
