Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders had been under some scrutiny by fellow coaches over the past couple of days. However, Coach Prime did not let anything bother him as he continued to be his unapologetic self. Days after the whole saga, Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard was spotted in Colorado at one of his games. The Klaw’s appearance managed to send two different fanbases of entirely different sports into a state of frenzy.

Kawhi Leonard has always been one of the more quiet players in the league. Rarely do fans see him out in LA partying or flashing his expensive purchases on social media. His online absence only made his rare public appearance amid Adam Silver’s new load management dictate quite telling.
