  MILAN — When American pairs skater Danny O’Shea was 10 years old, he sat down and made a list of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games.

  INGLEWOOD — Kawhi Leonard let the slightest smirk evade the corner of his mouth as he stoically swayed during the player introductions before Sunday’s new-look NBA All-Star Game.
  No nod, no wave for his Intuit Dome crowd. Leonard’s silence, a cornerstone of the seven-time All-Star’s personality, is part of what makes the 34-year-old Moreno Valley product a compelling figure in the NBA. But across All-Star Weekend, Leonard made nothing but noise on his name alone.
