Cameron Brink Forced Kawhi Leonard to Do Something Which Others Failed to Achieve, Courtesy of New Balance Ties

Cameron Brink took the Stanford Cardinal to unprecedented heights. She contributed a lot in helping her head coach Tara VanDerveer build a legacy. But Brink’s unique list of accomplishments doesn’t stop here. She recently disclosed making the NBA star Kawhi Leonard laugh so much that no other player has done so far. But, it leaves us with a question – when did this happen?

Brink was present on ‘Podcast P‘ and talked about a diverse range of topics including her relationship with Steph Curry, playing at Stanford, etc. One topic that caught the ears of every viewer was her interaction with Kawhi. 

Cameron Brink makes Kawhi Leonard laugh

Brink was asked about her experience of signing a deal with New Balance. The 22-year-old enunciated her time while shooting an ad for the sneaker brand and the viewers were happy to hear about their favorite basketballer Leonard from Brink’s first-hand experience.

“New Balance – they are so amazing. I remember one of the first you know like cool experiences with them. We’re shooting like my first commercial with them and Kawhi was in it. Kawhi, Jamal all of them… And the funniest part though was Kawhi. And he is funny as sh*t. No, he is funny. And all the New Balance guys like our head of marketing guy was like we haven’t seen anybody make him laugh more than you,” Brink stated.

Brink signed as the first women’s basketball player with New Balance in August 2023. The other signees included Kawhi Leonard, Jamal Murray, Zach LaVine, and Dejounte Murray. Hence, Brink has known Leonard professionally for a long time. Recently, Brink got another ad for New Balance with star athletes like Shohei Ohtani and Coco Gauff.

And as mentioned by Brink, the backstory must have given a lot of fans a glimpse of Leonard who is known for his serious attitude. But, keeping the fun aside, Brink would now be looking forward to her games.

What’s next for Cameron Brink?

Brink was the second overall pick in the WNBA draft 2024. The Los Angeles Sparks have lost both their games this season but hopefully, with Brink’s contribution they can match up their opponents in the coming games. She too has been adjusting to her new role and taking advice from her second mother – Dearica Hamby.

Perhaps it is these light moments that Brink needs to buckle up her game and hopefully, she will further her partnership with New Balance and spend more hilarious moments with Leonard.
