There is no doubt that Kawhi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers is one of the best players in the NBA.
The man has two championship rings, an MVP trophy, and leads any team that he becomes a part of.
Leonard might not talk a lot but his lack of desire for the limelight just shows how much he loves basketball more than anything else.
He is focused on the game and doesn’t bother with anything that isn’t NBA.

That was evident the other day when he was briefly interviewed before his team’s media day.
Leonard was friendly but wanted to move on, saying, “Media Day, let’s get this over with.”
This is typical Leonard and shows that he’s tuned into the game and everything else just doesn’t really appeal to him.
He is ready to play and the fans are ready to watch him.

The Clippers desperately need Leonard.
He didn’t play at all last season as he rehabbed from injury and the squad was all the worse because of that.
They didn’t sit at the bottom of the Western Conference but they weren’t a presence in the playoffs and they were obviously far, far from greatness.
Leonard returning changes so much of that: with his leadership and his raw skillset, the team is much better.
But it’s not just Leonard coming back: Paul George is now fully healthy again and the team also acquired John Wall in the summer too.
All of this is leading people to think that the Clippers could really reach the Finals after years of promising they would.
