“Fun Guy” has become two words connected with Kawhi Leonard, the star of Los Angeles Clippers. But apparently, in 1996 the Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, compared in some situations to the currently Clippers player, used the expression to define how he would like to be remembered in the future.

This old clip of Jordan in an interview in 1996 was posted by a reddit user. In the show, the journalist askes how one of basketball’s biggest icons would like to be remembered:

“Just a fun guy who enjoyed life. Made a lot of different creative ideas, worked, made a lot of fun things. Was always approachable Never felt like he was isolated from normal people… I love when people come up and at least say hello…they like something I have done”

Michael Jordan calling himself a “fun guy” didn’t have the same effect as Kawhi Leonard claiming to be a fun guy. After all, the Clippers star has a much more serious and private personality compared to Jordan’s communicative style. Many even suggest that the Clippers star hardly shows any emotion on the court looking more like a robot. And in last year’s interview of his introduction as a Raptors player, shortly after claiming to be a “Fun Guy” Kawhi gave one of the most comical and bizarre laughs – which went viral worldwide among NBA fans.

And this new fun new connection between past and present brings generations and basketball fans together. The only ones who don’t have fun with these “fun guys” are their opponents.
