I want to say it's the thought that counts, but is anyone really, truly thinking if they believe there's even a small possibility that Kawhi Leonard is the type of guy to be out taking advantage of the local foodie scene enough for free dinners to make a difference in his long-term decision making? I get it. It's a nice, cutesy thing for local businesses to rally around in showing support for an impending free agent that is currently rewriting the franchise's history books. However, would you even be half surprised if you were told that the only places that the NBA's most anomalous introvert had visited within Toronto's city limits were the arena, his apartment, and the shortest possible route in between? Never mind Ka'Wine & Dine. If there actually were an initiative that could (not as literally) cater to his personal convenience and make the slightest of dents during the recruitment process it would be the "Kawhi the hell not try leaving him alone?" pact. As someone who is set to become obnoxiously rich, I genuinely believe he'd gladly pay triple the market value of his meals so long as there was a citywide promise to ignore his presence while he was ordering them, eating them, or carrying them out. Showing gratitude by acknowledging and awarding accomplishments might persuade most professional athletes, but Kawhi Leonard is the one superstar who appears to enjoy anonymity enough to prefer his face slapped on the side of a milk carton as opposed to attached to the window front of every eatery within a 10 mile radius.
