Cameras caught the forward, 31, using his phone ahead of Game 2 of the playoff series with the Phoenix Suns — and the device looked tiny in his grasp.

In the clip, Leonard was seen walking into Footprint Center with his eyes locked on the screen as he appeared to be typing a message.

But the phone was hard to see under the NBA star's fingers.

The video went viral on social media with fans making all sorts of jokes about the size of Leonard's hands.

One tweeted: "It's actually a laptop."

Another added: "No way lmao."

A third wrote: "Bruh hands too mf big."

Former Los Angeles Lakers center Robert Sacre also chimed in, joking Leonard held a Nokia phone in his hand.

Leonard's gigantic hands have become a feature so recognizable that the forward has become known as The Klaw.

It also inspired the logo of his Jordan Brand shoe line with the sportswear manufacturer turning the Clippers star's initials and jersey number into a hand.

Leonard's huge fingers produced one of the highlights of the 2020 NBA Playoffs in the Orlando bubble.

In Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Denver Nuggets, the forward memorably blocked Jamal Murray's dunk attempt with just one finger.

But Leonard has said his large hands can actually make it more challenging for him to play basketball at times.

"It's just kinda difficult shooting sometimes," he told Serge Ibaka on his former teammate's show, How Hungry Are You?

"It's just difficult. A lot of hard work.

"You know, sometimes, like, if you shoot a girl's basketball, it's smaller, it's hard to shoot it, hard to roll off your hands.

"So, some games or some shots that I do shoot it, it'll be too far in my hands, so I have to really focus on that."

Leonard had no trouble shooting the basketball at the start of the first-round series against the Suns.

The California native averaged 34.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in the first two games, knocking down 54.5 percent of his field goal attempts and 60 percent from downtown.
