The city of Atlanta was lucky enough to get picked as the home of the 2021 NBA All-Star game. And while the city is one of the most well-known in the Southwest corner of the country, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard isn’t quite feeling the basketball energy right now.
Kawhi Leonard: “This city of Atlanta is turnt up, but its pretty dead for the [NBA].”

Right away, fans were called back to an incident that happened with Lou Williams, in which he got caught partying at a strip club in the city.

So, it seems that the nightlife in Atlanta is inarguably poppin’. Anybody who’s been down there for a good time would know, including Kawhi.
As for basketball, though, it seems to be a different story. For whatever reason, Leonard is getting stale vibes from area, and he’s not afraid to admit it. Hopefully, the Hawks are able to bring some life and energy back sooner rather than later.
