First Kawhi Leonard impressed fans with a stellar performance in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Then he amused us with his unintentionally funny post-game interview with TNT’s Kristen Ledlow.

The Toronto Raptors star gave some very literal answers to Ledlow’s questions, ones you wouldn’t expect.

It’s just as funny in written form:

Kawhi's interview literalism is the best thing about the NBA right now

Q: How do you beat the Bucks 4 times in a row?

"I don't know. I haven't done it."

Q: One win away from the NBA Finals, what's this team's mentality?

"I mean, I haven't even gotten in the locker room yet"

Leonard’s literal responses are the best. They led to some laughs after Game 2 of the series as well.

Leonard had 35 points, seven rebounds, nine assists and was 5-for-8 on threes in the 105-99 victory. His Raptors head back to Toronto for Game 6 on Saturday with a chance to close out the series and advance to the NBA Finals.
