The Los Angeles Clippers have gone all in on their superstar duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George over the last four seasons.
But the gamble hasn’t really paid off for the Clippers, as the two stars have missed a plethora of games during their time with the Clippers.
Leonard, in particular, has been abysmal in terms of staying healthy.
He has played only 161 games over the last four years, including sitting out an entire season due to an ACL injury.
Renowned NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith recently labeled Kawhi Leonard as the ‘worst superstar’ a team can have in the league via The Stephen A. Smith Show on YouTube.
“I’m dead serious when I say this. Kawhi Leonard is the absolute worst superstar that a team can have. Period,” Smith said.
The NBA released a new load management policy ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season to avoid having superstar players miss games.
However, Leonard explained how he will still continue to miss games even after the new policy is introduced by the league.
Keeping that in mind, Smith absolutely blasted the Clippers superstar.
Smith straightaway claimed Leonard is the worst superstar an NBA team can have right now.
While Smith showed respect for what Leonard has won in his career, the fact that he’s never been available for his teams in recent years was a primary point of concern for the veteran NBA analyst.
Leonard has never played more than 57 games for the Clippers throughout his stint with the team.
Will the 2023-24 season be the first time that fans see Leonard put the team on his back?
