Red Hot Chili Peppers classics like "Give It Away" had local fans on their feet at the AT&T Center last night, but concert-goers made it clear the one thing — or person — they aren't willing to give "away now" is Spurs star Kawhi Leonard.

In the Alamo City to kick off their 2017 The Getaway Tour Thursday night, the famous Lakers diehards apparently couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Spurs fans while being in San Antonio.

Bassist Flea made a timely joke before performing "Otherside." He said The Klaw was backstage and implied he should join the other side, the Lakers.

Leonard was actually in Denver with the team, busy destroying the hapless Nuggets.

The insinuation that the Silver and Black pride and joy would ever don purple and yellow sparked boos from the crowd, but it was all in good fun.
