Leonard has claimed yet another pair ankles for his collection.
Kawhi Leonard is one the deadliest basketball players in the entire NBA, as long as he isn’t being load managed. The Los Angeles Clippers star has turned his team into a championship contender every single night and they have been one the most exciting teams to watch. There is no doubt that the Clippers will be one the favorites come playf time and there are many who think Leonard will be the key to all this.
As we focus on the regular season, Leonard has provided us with plenty highlights and on Tuesday night he gave us yet another. In the clip below, Leonard is going one on one against Aron Baynes the Phoenix Suns. Kawhi goes one way and then fakes out the Suns defender which sends him flying. It was a clear cut ankle-breaker and was easily one the best plays the entire night.
What makes the play even more interesting is that Leonard didn’t even take the shot. He ended up passing it f before Paul George made the corner three. Baynes has had himself a rough week as he was also posterized by Ja Morant a few games ago.
In the end, the Clippers won the game by a blowout score 120-99 so it’s clear that Leonard’s play was demoralizing in some ways.
