"Kawhi was a great player, but he wasn't a leader or anything," Popovich told reporters of Leonard, the 2014 NBA Finals MVP and two-time Defensive Player of the Year. "Manu and Patty were the leaders. Kawhi's talent will always be missed, but that leadership wasn't his deal at that time. That may come as he progresses, but Manu and Patty filled that role last year, and LaMarcus [Aldridge] came a long way in that regard also."
“卡哇伊是一名优秀的球员，但要说球队领袖什么的，跟他八竿子打不着一起，”当波波维奇跟记者谈论到这位2014年总决赛MVP，两届年度最佳防守球员--伦纳德时说道。“卡哇伊的天赋总是被忽视，但那时候他的确不具备领导能力，这些可能会随着他的成长而来，但去年是马努和帕克承担了领导的角色，阿尔德里奇也在这方面有了长足的进步。”
Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard responded Sunday to recent criticism by San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich about his leadership, saying the comments were "funny to me" and insisting that he is a leader.
对于马刺教练波波维奇关于他领导力的批评，多伦多猛龙球星伦纳德也在周六给予了回应。他觉得这些评价是可笑的，并坚称自己是一名领导者。

"I heard about it. It's just funny to me because, you know, I don't know if he's talking about last year or not, but I guess when you stop playing they forget how you lead," Leonard told reporters in Toronto. "Other than that, it doesn't matter. I'm here with the Raptors. My focus is on the season and not what's going on the other side."
“这些我都听说了，我觉得很可笑，我不知道他指的是不是去年，你知道，一旦你停止打球了，他们就会忘了你之前是怎样带领球队取胜的。”伦纳德在多伦多跟记者谈论时说道，“除此之外，都无所谓了。我现在在猛龙队，我只专注于这个赛季，而并非隔壁老王家发生了什么”
"I lead by example coming into practice every day. Just going hard and coming into these games mentally focused," he said. "You can't see things once you're playing on the floor. Guys ask me questions about their matchup or if I see something on the floor, I'm telling guys, 'Go here, go there,' just motivating people, do you know what I mean?
"在场下我以身作则，每天努力训练，让自己全身心投入到每一场比赛。"他说道，"在场上，一旦你在场上打球，你无法看到场下的很多事。队友们问我与他们相关问题又或者刚刚在场上有没有看到什么事时"我会告诉他们"去这样做，应该那样做。”就是去激励大家，你能明白我的意思嘛”
