Yuki Kawamura's style of play and the gusto with which he approaches the game have captured the hearts of basketball fans around the globe. At 5-foot-8, Kawamura may be the shortest player in the NBA, but the Memphis Grizzlies guard makes up for that with a deep knowledge of the game and a great attitude.
Following the Grizzlies' 135-119 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, Kawamura showed off his more playful side. After a heated and physical game, Ja Morant seemed enraged on the sidelines. Kawamura was close by to calm the two-time NBA All-Star. The Grizzlies point guard tapped Morant on the chest and back as he settled him down with a big smile.
