 "Is there disadvantages to having huge hands like that?" asked Kimmel.

"Oh definitely, and I don't even notice it until I see someone else doing an activity — like putting my hands in my own pockets — sometimes they're just too small," replied Leonard.

"Wait a minute — is that why you left Toronto? Because your hands were cold?"

"Oh man, I just couldn't find gloves that fit [in Toronto]," Leonard replied with a laugh.

While it definitely makes for a unique logo, it seems that the "Klaw" has its disadvantages.

Kawhi shared that he was excited to play on Christmas Day, adding that he's accepted that "the NBA has no holidays."
