NBA players do things with their bodies that the average person can't even dream of. They run faster and jump (much) higher. Their stretchy long arms are almost comical, and their twitchy muscles give them an aura of invincibility.

Most are just bigger and stronger than everyone else. Few could argue when Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard compared themselves to Superman.

San Antonio Spurs guard isn't bigger or stronger than most people, and nobody's comparing him to a fictional character who has crazy powers. But when asked for his own favorite superhero, Mills gave a great response:

Yup, Kawhi Leonard. This is a fantastic answer and proves to the world that Mills' teammate is not in fact a human being, as was suspected by many.
