Fizdale thinks Kawhi is a robot, 'bleeds antifreeze or something'

It's been all Kawhi Leonard all the time for the San Antonio Spurs in their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Through two games (both dominant Spurs wins), he's averaging 34.5 points, seven rebounds, and 3.5 assists, while shooting 71.4 percent from the field and a perfect 28-of-28 from the line.

When Memphis head coach David Fizdale isn't railing against the sheer number of free throws Leonard has been awarded compared to his Grizzlies, he's marveling at what the 25-year-old forward can do, and at his apparent invulnerability.

"He was standing next to me the other night and he wasn't breathing," Fizdale joked Thursday, according to SLAM magazine. "He wasn't breathing. So I'm gonna check the rule book and find out if robots are allowed to play in the NBA, cause somehow Pop and them ... they know something I don't know. I think he bleeds antifreeze or something."

Take ... that for data?
