An excerpt from this biography book on Kawhi Leonard's story:
In the NBA, talent and personality make a superstar. Some of these superstars display extraordinary talent at a young age, while there are also those whose personalities exceed the technical skill shown on the court. Talent may do all the hard work on the court, but a player's character and demeanor on and off of it are often what define his future as a superstar. And there are those that showed potential as superstars but ultimately failed because they lacked the personality, character, or demeanor to become great.
However, there are those NBA players that have never shown superstar talent or even the potential for joining the league at an early age, yet have the personality and demeanor of one destined for greatness. These are the silent workers and discreet assassins that bide their time under the radar without making the kind of noise that draws attention. Additionally, there are the players that may resemble background players because of their demeanor and lack of obvious star-quality personality, but nonetheless, they have the work ethic and desire to become great.
Though they are not as iconic as players like Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, or LeBron James when it comes to their personalities, these silent assassins are just as talented and impactful as any other significant player in league history.
