That goes for his teammates, too. With just over 9:30 remaining in the third quarter of Thursday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets, Pau Gasol held the ball near the top of the key looking for a pass to an open teammate. He didn’t have to find one, though, because Leonard grabbed the ball from him and made his way to the hoop for a short shot over the defending Danilo Gallinari. Take a look:

Leonard finished the night with 24 points in a comfortable 127-99 win for San Antonio, but none of the others were as funny as his latest bullying incident. Gasol put up 17 points (7-of-8 FG) and four assists, although none of them came on this play.
