100% clutch, beast, humble. Most importantly 0% drama queen
I like the 0 drama queen :) He looks like Iverson back then and that is why they are both my favorite players :)
For realllll!
GUY IS AN O.G I HOPE HE SIGNS WITH LAKERS BECAUSE THEN THE LEAUGE IS DONE.
what happened in SA?!
Danny Cantu dude didnt say anything lmao, all the drama was created by ppl like u and the media
Oh, ok, so he's been practing that game-winning, quadruple-bounce baseline jumper for a while now
He's been practicing the shot. Not the bounce. From that part of the floor as well as enough spin to give it a chance. Even if you decide to look at it the other way, that he shot it like he's never done it before, he had to shoot a higher arc than normal to get over embiid. He gets credit for the shot. The bounce is luck.
@@user-hi3ke6qh7q if you take the adjectives away, like I said, he's been practicing that baseline jumper for a while now... All you can do is practice, the rest is a combo of heart and luck
@@user-hi3ke6qh7q it's a known shot Jordan and Kobe used.. can find clips of them in the same exact motion. its a good shot cuz fading out right handed is extremely difficult to guard. can even be in air out of bounds and shoot over the backboard.. lol
He perfected the quadruple bounce like Duncan perfected the bankshot and Jordan perfected the vadeaway
rekij shut the fuck up bitch
Not once do you see this man stare down, over celebrate, hang on the rim. Gotta love the humble beast who is Kawhi
Robert Vazquez lol opposite of Zion highlights
@DW DW Good for New Balance since he won the chip and still maintained that humble composure
NB did get a lot of exposure? Have you been watching the NBA?
A complete professional, there to do his job and does none of that childish stuff.
MatP111 - yeah alright the players aren’t allowed to have a bit of fun?
HALF THESE SHOTS IN THE LAST MINUTE OF THE 4TH QUARTER, THIS MAN IS CLUTCH
@DW DW for clip to be chosen, its has to happen first.
That first one looks oddly familiar 🤔
Andrew Yang think i saw it twice today
That man skip hates him with a passion and won’t give him credit for that shot 😂

two buzzer beaters lol
It does it’s the playoffs shot game 7 against 76ers
the beginning of this video literally foreshadowed game 7 game winning buzzer beater
@DW DW hhahahahahaha
'ppl saying Kawhi Game 7 buzz-beating series winner was a lucky bounce' 'no one could do that twice'
**watches the first highlight of this video**
Wasn't a buzzer beater tho. Game winner yes.
close enough =p at that point it's semantics over what's technically a buzzer beater and what is, in practical sense, basically one
no timeout (which Kawhi knew otherwise he could have stalled the extra 1 second) so with no ability to advance the ball, time ran out before the ball crossed the half court line =p basically means there was 0 time left in practice ;)
Don't get me wrong. Kawhi is the goat. But not a buzzer beater. And it is identical to the game 7 winner. Both in toronto both from the same spot. Goat!
It was lucky tho admit it
The only people who said that were people who didn't watch Kawhi's regular season games to see that he actually hit the same shot prior to the buzzer beater.
I wish I was that good at basketball
I wish u were in the duke rn
I Washington you are the real kd
Kevin Durant lol hey “snake”
Kevin Durant dont’worry.
You are in the top 5 along with Kawhi, Giannis, Curry and Harden
I wish you were still at OKC

No one else comes even close
kobe?

@@aazamrazaali6530 lmao
I'm subbed to you.
Never stares down, never flexes, what a humble player!
Rewatching Kawhi in a raptors jersey brining me to tears. Wish he’d stay
Who you telling? Im a Spurs fan. So i feel you😢
I’m so glad you’re now a 2x champion Kawhi.👑
Had one of the best seasons I've ever seen from a player in a while
Curry 2015-16 season was only 4 years ago
@@Studzzi no!
curry 2015-2016 was something different.
Wow he made exactly the first shot today! See its no luck. Dude has been doing it forever
Can't wait for Kawhi Leonard's Best Plays From the 2019-2020 NBA Regular Season as a Toronto Raptor
Toronto Man that’s not gonna happen at all
*Los Angeles Clipper
He’s gonna Clippers
you remeber jonas valanciunas? :) i am from lithuanija, and i can't wait for World Cup :)
@@blackfox2190 Toronto loves the Lithuanian Lightning
A humble monster! Kawhi the best two way player in the league!
His baseline fadeaway shot is a thing of beauty.
The day Kawhi resigns to the Raptors if he does resign we are gonna have to make it an official holiday here in Canada
Jayce O'Regan when he wins the championship for Toronto, then that will be a holiday
i'm not even a Raptor fan (I like them just not my fav team) but i'll honestly say before the playoffs started I was still thinking he was going to leave for the Clippers regardless but after this legendary playoff run man it's hard as hell to see him NOT resign with Toronto ... he literally has an ENTIRE COUNTRY rooting for him , not just 1/4 of the city like it would be if he was with the Clippers since they aren't even the biggest team in LA ... plus Toronto can offer him the most money and he is DEFINITELY getting a statue somewhere in Toronto regardless if he leaves or stays but I definitely think he's gonna resign with Toronto now .. Siakam & VanVleet is only gonna better and people are forgetting they've been doing this whole playoff run without OG
You are hurting DDR
Bruhh Whatt well it happened sir
@@bruhhwhatt9942 June 14th, GONNA BE A HOLIDAY!!!
Best 2 way player in the DAMN LEAGUE
Who is the 1 ?
Black Mamba bruh idk if ur joking or just slow
@@JustAJok3r lmao I think he's serious
What a time it was to be a Toronto fan
Kawhi's final plays of the game:
- Curry three = "NOPE."
- rebound = "BOARD MAN GETS PAID."
- free throws = "BUCKET. BUCKET."
Lol alot of people don't know college kawhi
@Robert Downy obviously i do if i get the comment????
Jai Rey I thought it was over in reddit first before it got to espn?
Wherever he goes this summer, I do hope he will get one more championship ring by the time he retires. He deserves it.
Yeah but you gotta remember he is only 27
I hope Kawhi re-signs with Toronto Raptors because Masai Ujiri will keep the strong core already in the raptors and build a new team around it with acquisition of more stars and talented players. Kemba Walker could join Kawhi’s Toronto Raptors, as he would fit perfectly in the team. This current Toronto Raptors team has a strong and legitimate chance of winning the NBA Championship, however next season and seasons beyond, this nascent Toronto Raptors team built around Kawhi Leonard is only going to get stronger and will have strong chances of winning the NBA Championship every season.
@@DRose2Fast imagine if KD join Raptors if we somehow beat the warriors in the finals. KD did say that Raptors were his favorite team back in the day and wanted to play for them.
volgg mannnn that would be lit! 😃🔥🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Well he is already doing it
Bruh the way the ball bounced in that first shot was legit like the game winner he had today, wild!
Kapillesh Bala isn’t that amazing wtf I’m in awe of how crazy similar they are. It even bounces off the rim the same amount of times: 4
Someone send that clip to skip, he’ll probably say the stakes and the first bounce wasnt as high.
Kawhi said in a interview after that shot, that he never takes a shot in game that he hasn't took in practice. Kawhi is pro scorer, no luck! 🙏
Look at the raptors now, 2019 nba champs ☝️
Ced Kc first championship in basketball for them. And they finally got a championship in where basketball was even born.
Sharp4ce it was made in Montreal, no?
Playoff kawhi currently playing like the best player in the nba
DeMarvelous DeChosen is the best player in the world
thekidreams 😂
Ever heard of KD?
Kd?? Who join a 73-9 team and now hes the best lol made me laugh no respect for the weakest superstar ever
@@jimangelogregorio452 ummm the guy that will drop 40 ppg on Kawhi in the finals if they make it, yeah that guy
0:42 her reaction to Kawhi making the shot is priceless
Kawhi is a humble player bro.
Like if you are number one fan of kawhi.
King of the North. The most clutch on Offense and Defense.
Kawhi Leonard is a Toronto Raptor.
People said the game 7 shot tonight was lucky but clearly he's done it before.
@@washburn11000 you can see it two other times in this video
No player on the league in better on both sides of the floor. No wasted dribble
All his shots and slam dunks are simple moves but most effective. No fancy move, come back to all basic move. Very Best :) Simple is best
Silent assasin this
ever since i saw this dude play on the spurs he’s been my favorite player.. glad he came to toronto to help us win our first championship 🙌🏽🏆
Hands down the best player in the NBA right now. You can only be called the best when you play both sides of the court (are you listening to this? James Harden). Too bad for the Spurs for not being to keep him. He's like a guard/forward version of Tim Duncan. Skilled, Smart, and Composed.
Kevin Li I’m just going to assume you never heard of Kevin Durant.
@@iNinZa i take kevin durant no.1 if he wins a ring without the warriors
@@iNinZa 3 years later, I think I want Kawhi over KD. KD without the warriors is awful and ruined Westbrook’s legacy by turning him into a ball hog looking only for triple doubles.
Once in a life time talent. Go get it KLAW.
Who's here after he just absolutely topped the already insane first one
Nobody:
ESPN: Should Kawhi go to the clippers or Lakers?
so true
Well...imo he will go to the Clips, but it would be nice seeing him still in Toronto
Jesus Shuttlesworth he wants to be on a contending team more than he wants to be in la bro... unless raptors massively disappoints he’ll stay as long as there’s good chance to win, otherwise he’d probably join another eastern powerhouse (or maybe blazers? though unlikely)
Bokononist blazers can’t afford to sign him they have to many big contracts
Stays on Toronto
*2019 CHAMPS! FINALS MVP!*
2:55 Announcer-He gets, he gets the foul, gets hit hard but he plays the glass.
-touches no backboard
He’s a Funguy
What i am going to say is a bold statement based merely on what i felt watching him in 2016-17: He would have been 2018 MVP if he wasn’t injured and didn’t break with San Antonio.
Who’s here after kawhi won finals MVP??
Fun guy doing fun things
This the most emotion I've seen Kawhi play with. I would be really surprised if he doesn't resign.
Behold the greatness that is KAWHI!! 👑
Him being a Raptor doesn't even feel real anymore like did it even happen?? 😢 I miss those days man
He''s style of play is very Jordanesque
Tau youR RighT ::))
Best player in the NBA
Ever heard of KD
z06guy 04
Now KD tore his Achilles. He may never be the same. As of today, Kawhi is the best player in the league.
The Dark Knight not Lebron?
So much emotion in just one thumbnail
Future HOF 🥇
That's debatable but if he beats golden state and win at least a mvp then yes but right now no but he'll go down one the greatest defensive players ever if not the greatest defensive player ever
Jay Stiles well
@@duartedsmoreira it happened
He’s going to retire having won 3 (at least) championships with 3 different teams and winning Finals MVP for all of them.
@@mikejay328 Ya 2x champ, 2x finals MVP...3rd greatest playoff performance in NBA history, Kawhi is a lock for the HOF.
so similar to MJ. biggest difference is kawhi is stronger and less athletic.
Same intensity and mentality ⛓️
Also less cocky
Karnige this is the closest we ever get because either you’re talented either you’re incredibly charismatic but not both... he’s talented
I don't believe he is stronger. People are fooled by MJs grace. His graceful movements made everything look too easy and nothing looked difficult to the end that plays that required strength to make looked easy because of how graceful he was.
chima inwere kawahi is stronger bro
Still will never understand why he left this team was perfect!
0:05 Foreshadowing of game 7 buzzer beater vs the 76ers... Woah!
I see a lot of Jordan in there...a lot.
lgmnow kondo exactly man, the efficiency in his moves, the huge hands, upper body strength and that master fade-away.
He's just being himself playing. Why still compare. 🤦
@@marinerchris it's a pretty big compliment to be compared to the GOAT...and I like to analyze. Feel free to not analyze...I won't mind.
If you read articles about Kawhi, he always chooses Mike over all other greats. It’s his favorite player and he constantly watches MJ highlights on UA-cam. So I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a bit of MJ in him. MJ was super athletic for his size though. Kawhi seems bigger/stronger whereas MJ used more of his athleticism to get to the basket. That’s why you see all those MJ strange unorthodox and-1 type baskets that went in lol. Boyh fun to watch...as they say comparison is the thief of joy. I’m having fun watching O_O while daily espn shows try to get ratings.
@@swatisquantum I think what is lethal are the guys who can pull up anywhere, anytime....and make the shot a good percentage of the time. I see guys that drive and just can't pull up and knock down the jumper. That is the what I see as such a similarity between him and MJ. What Kawhi doesn't have is MJ's flat out leaping ability....but he might have more overall IQ on the court. If GIannis gets a pullup jumper...it could be a real game changer in the east!
Kawhi in Toronto > kawhi in LA
If look at 1:06 and pause it, you can see Coach Pop looking at Kawhi Leonard.
He seems mad.
Kawhi is a GAWD
The G.O.A.T of Canada
Vince...
Fuck off mate vince carter is the only possible response
@@spookysock kawhi is a better player overall
@Niko Gambino Yes he joined LA
Robert Eloranta I Forgot VC Oops
Toronto Kawhi best kawhi.
He is in the same level of greatness with MJ, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, Bird ang LBJ.
Not yet. Not with only 1 chip.
UtkuG5 What does a chip matter? Shaun Livingston has the same as lebron
He's with MJ but magic is more a facilitator hard to compare thougths type of players
@@edenhazard3961 it of course matters because it shows how achieved a player is. Livingston is a role player and role players doesnt count. I'm also a big Kawhi fan but he has played in this level only in the finals vs miami and this season. If he keeps playing like this than he will be one of the greatests but not at the moment.
@DW DW yeah you are right but i was talking about the last season. The last season's toronto run was amazing and i dont think kawhi would be able to pull that off once again
Kawhi Leonard was different that year he was the best player that year fr
Beautiful video, didn't feel 12min had passed by. What a repertoire, and each move so seamless.
Kawhi Leonard deserves the MVP this year no doubt on my mind.
Can’t lie he been making those bounce in shots alot 🔥 he’s a superstar
gsw cant stop the raptors being the 2018-2019 nba champ. its a destiny. believe it.
St.Benedict Miracle yep we won it
Don't apologize Kawhi they wouldn't have won a championship if not for you. The Spurs owe YOU an apology. Screw them
J M spurs already figured out lebron that time..
Definitely not me being a depressed Raptors fan missing Kawhi
Why did Kawhi played only one season for Toronto? I mean they became champs which means they were a great team. He could've stayed at least 2-3 years more
Plays EXACTLY like jordan less athletic though
And probably doesn’t wanna kill anyone
No he is athletic his less explosive tho
Kawhi is just getting better& better..amazing
Danm I missed a lot good basketball from Kawhi
Now he is in LA the Game will be more televised
Can't wait for him to lock up Simmons.
Game. Winner
*HaHeayahaha*
Durant plays off the tails of others and gives curry some rest as he did for westbrook...
Just watch gsw win wo him...lol...while leonard carries an entire team on his back....if they get past the bucks its because of #2...but it wont be quite enough to beat gsw....but if they do #2 is already a franchise wo a doubt....go raptors!!
dave Dimartino Hold this L real quick.
HELLLLOOOOOOOO
-Jack Armstrong, the GOD of TSN Commentary
The guy is a 2 time DPOY, finals MVP back in San Antonio and we are witnessing his best year. That’s how good he is 😳
He truly deserves more than one ring!! dude is an amazing player
Max: "Kawhi is a clutch player"
NBA: shows lots of clutch moments
MJ + Kobe = Kawhi
Mj+pippen = kawhi
Kawhi + Kobe*
Ha ha ha funniest shit ever, go back and look at Michael Jordan highlights six championships, Kobe Bryant 5, Kwahi has got a way to go, you Fanboys that didn't really get to see the greatest ever, Jordan; should watch old games that guy is the Prototype all these players model their game after .
@@Gcanno no one peeped a damn word about rings lol. The comment was talking about playstyle, both offensively and defensively.
@@choiyongjae which is totally wrong.
Raps fan here. This dude brought so much energy, positive vibe, confidence into the basketball life in Toronto. Will always be a hero.
Man, Kawhi is so Strong!!! Damn!!
Kawhi is 2nd best player in the whole NBA. His drive skill to the basket is so powerful, it easy for him to get a open shot, plus he not a ball hog and very unselfish player that will pass the ball especially at the right time
Bro man's plays like a 2k my player on hall of fame difficulty😂
Leonard that year was a beast, a monster
just can't stop watching this over and over!! kawhi = machine!!
As a Raptors fan, the clutch steal on DeMar w the help of Kyle felt so weird😂😂
Definitely the best in the league now. He's got better footwork and agility than LeBron.
Im here after he hit that game winner at game 7 against sixers. One of the best game winner i have seen in the playoffs.
the good ol days...
he was controlling the ball very well especially on layups like MJ was
No one:
Kawhi: "UUUGNNN"
The ball: *swish*
Awesome video!!!
This guy handle improved so much. His foot work is flawless no wasted effort. He is my favorite player to watch now. I told people all season how good he is
Notice how many of these plays are in the 4th quarter
0:25 kawhi propheciesed the future
This is getting me super amped for the Finals.
wow galing talaga walang kupas
I think max was right when he was talking about Kawhi being clutch. He has so many clutch moments in only 1 season
0:06 Epic foreshadowing.
Kawhi is a monster most of them games the raptors was winning to
Superb and magic it's more than I can say simply magical
First vid againts POR same move he made at 76ers like de javu 😱
as a laker fan I would give up Lebron for Kawahi
AS A KOBE FAN YOU MEAN
what I love about Kawhi Leonard is that you don't see any celebrations other than high fives once in a while. He's like the Barry Sanders of basketball... Does something that is game changing or amazing and ACTS LIKE HE'S BEEN THERE BEFORE.. HUMBLE AND RESPECTABLE
Kawhi Leonard in 2019 was by far the best player in the league
