How Kawhi Leonard is BREAKING BASKETBALL for the LA Clippers

Kawh Leonard is having a very underrated season he’s the leading scorer of a LA Clippers team that’s been the hottest team in the NBA over the past few months they have a record of 28 and7 in their last 35 games which has earned them a top three seed in the Western Conference

Kawai’s production has been off the charts during that time span where over that same 35 games he’s putting up 25 points per game shooting 55% for the field 47% from deep and 91% from the foul despite the insane numbers Kawai is putting up and the Clippers immersions

As a juggernaut in the west Kawai isn’t even top 10 in basketball references MVP award tracker this admission is basketball criminality so this video will give Kawai some much deserved Spotlight we’re going to break down what’s made Kawai such a dominant player on both ends of the floor starting off

With his offense Kawai is one of the most isoe heavy stars in the league when going oneon-one he loves to to operate out of the Triple Threat if the defender sags off he’ll just let it fly here KD is giving kawhai too much space so he

Just shoots the three ball and knocks it down but if you get too close to him to take away his jumper Kawai will just blow right by you here Kawai catches it on the elbow he sees Jaylen Brown is too attached to him so he drives right by

Him then finishes over Jason Tatum that ability to shoot and drive forces Defenders to play honest D on him kawai’s main goal goto move is to dribble to his spots in the mid-range and either pull up or Fade Away most of the time Defenders are scrambling to

Contain his drive and before they know it Kawai Rises for a jump shot Kawai also creates a lot of mid-range attempts for himself out of post-ups here Kawai takes Julius Randle down to the low post this turnaround fade away is well defended but Kawai hits anyway he’s got

Excellent footwork in the paint here Kawai is got a fake Spin The Defender goes and he pivot itss back and drains the jumper a lot of his makes are well defended but Kawai is a master at difficult shot making so he hits these contested jumpers at a high percentage

Most of kawai’s buckets come from jump shots but he’s also a deadly scorer near the rim he’s got good touch around the basket and a nice push shot that he likes to shoot over Health Defenders but he’s also an athletic Above the Rim finisher here kawh Leonard gets by

Paying prited with the spin move and then dunks over Luke cornette oh my goodness Look Out Below on this drive Carl Anthony town has to think twice about going up as Kawhi Leonard Rises for the slam kawhai also gets a lot of dunks and layups for running hard and

Transition the very next play Mason plumy makes the outlet pass to Kawai and he takes flight and dunks over Anthony Edwards the Clipper’s defense generates a lot of steals and Kawai often beats everyone down the court here Paul George steals this tra young pass and then he

Sets up kawhai Leonard for the nice finish on the fast break kawhai has also been on fire from downtown thanks to the star Talent on the team Kawai is getting some of the easiest looks of his career James Harden Paul George and Russell Westbrook put constant pressure on the rim which draws

Defenders away from Kawai and when Kawai is open he rarely misses and he doesn’t even need to be open if given any room Kawai will just raise up and drain the three ball even with a hand in his face a lot of kawai’s three-pointers are also self-created here kawhai has to bail out

The Clippers offense with just 5 seconds left on the shot clock the Miami Heat wisely double team but kawhai just dribbles steps back and hits the three-pointer even though it’s well defended because Kawai is such a dominant scorer he tends to draw multiple Defenders and this allows him

To create easy baskets for his teammates on this possession Al Horford comes over to double team so kawhai kicks it out to teren man who drains the open three his drives to the rim tends to collapse defenses allowing him to set up his teammates Kev love has to rotate over

Allowing kawhai to set up zubot for the dunk here Kawai is going to look to attack the hoop again which sucks the defense in and he makes the right pass to Paul George Who drains the open three Kawai also does some facilitating out of the pick and roll here Plumley screens

For Kawaii and roll to the basket kawhai makes a nice bounce pass and plumbley finishes at The Rim after catching it out of bounds this time it’s going to be Russell Westbrook that screens and rolls for Kawai kawhai makes another nice bounce pass and then Russell finishes

With the two-handed JY now let’s talk about kawai’s defense his incredible size and athleticism makes him an amazing on ball Defender he’s one of the few players in the league that can guard the opposing team star player and lock them down on this play Jaylen Brown looks to

Attack Kawai but Kawai is up to the task he stays with brown on the drive gets a hand up and this shot misses badly this time Kawai is matched up with Jason Tatum Tatum drives to the hoop but Kawai gets a hand on the ball this forces

Tatum into a wild shot he can’t score on the putb and the Clippers are going to rebound the basket ball this time kawai’s guarding Drew is Randle Randle immediately attacks off the catch he gets close to the hoop but Kawai could test this layup which forces him to miss he’s also a versatile

Defender not only can he defend big strong forwards but he can also guard small Shifty guards here dejonte Murray can’t break down Kawai so he’s forced to give up the rock if you do get by Kawai you better finish shrunk because he’s an amazing recovery Defender here Josh

Richardson Drives By Kawai but Kawai sends his layup to the stands this time it’s Jimmy Butler that gets by kawhai but Kawai pokes it away from behind and gets rewarded for his defensive effort with a fast break dunk on the other end of the Court Kawai also has very quick hands

And those gigantic hands of his are like baseball gloves so if you expose the ball or get sloppy with your handle he’s either going to swipe it away or steal it the heat clearly haven’t learned yet that attacking Ka on defense isn’t the best idea bam drives to the hoop but

Kawai just steals his lunch money and then sets the Clippers up in transition Kawai is also an excellent post offender his strength makes him tough the back down and good luck scoring over that Long Reach here Jaylen Brown can’t get kawhai to budge on this post up and this

Turnaround fade away is well defended this time is James hakz Jr that tries to post Kawai up but he can barely back Kawai down and misses this contested push shot along with being a great one-on-one Defender he’s also an amazing off ball Defender he’s great at anticipating passes which helps him to

Rack up Steals on this possession he could tell Al Horford wants to pass it so he just steals this pass and then sends it out to Paul George for the fast break Kawai is also an awesome help defender on this play larett wants to post up the much shorter Terren men but

He’s going to find that reality is often disappointing after catching the entry pass he gets his layer pinned by kawhai Leonard on this possession Jimmy Butler gets by noran Pow with the spin move but kawhai rotates over and blocks his shot Jimmy gets a second attempt but he

Misses and it’s Clippers basketball here Bruno Fernando thinks he’s going to get an easy putback but Kawai blocks his putback attempt which forces a jump ball and to add insult to injury Kawai wins the jump ball there isn’t much Kawai can’t do defensively overall his incredible two-way impact is what makes

Makes him a legit Superstar not only is he scoring the ball at a very high rate and very high efficiency but he’s also shutting opponents down defensively with Kawai playing at such a high level and the Clippers up to the three seed you have to wonder why Kawai is being

Overlooked as a legit MVP candidate but at the end of the day what’s most important for Kawai is getting into the playoffs healthy and competing for that third ring and this season appears to be his best chance to do that in a Clippers uniform anyway guys that’s going to be
