Fans were quick to react to Leonard’s potential MVP performance — including one bringing back one of his more famous quotes.

The Athletics responded by mentioning how the All-Star game went not originally voted by the coach.

His Clippers team even showered him with love — including typing his name in all caps.

Leonard dropped 31 points in the new format — accomplishing the feat in just 12 minutes. Sirius XM radio personality Rob Perez called it “One of the best All-Star performances you’ll see, in a game where players actually try.”

Even Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban joined in the online praise.

Leonard told NBA Insider Chris Haynes he hoped this year’s festivities would become more competitive.

“He’ll start with the starters, whoever comes out first,” Leonard told Haynes. “For me, personally, we should go back to how it was, and if the guys want to play hard, they’re going to play hard. I think it’s going to be competitive this year. I don’t know what the format is. But I hope the guys compete. They usually do, but it’s also an All-Star game.”

You can tell he took this game seriously.
