This kid is a budding superstar. There aren't many players nowadays that play both ends of the floor as well as this kid does. And he's only 22.
Agree👍👌
Idk if it's to early to say this but I see a little bit of airiness in him
He's developing a lot, he'll be well known some day. He's so quiet, and he doesn't care about anything, the only thing he wants is play. God will bless u 4ever because u have something especial inside of u, it's the magic heart that u have. Leonard, u will be the MVP one day. From Angola-Africa to San Antonio-USA.
Extremely Underrated especially on Defense
kawhi is a unique player, you often don't see players like him in the NBA. he's like rose. he's the type of player that u would definitely respect.
what kawhi has is that extreme hardwork on both ends . offense and defense. doesn't even have that all-star attitude. humble as fk. kd said his only good because his on spurs system. i wonder is kd defense so amazing because his not on spurs. kd has amazing scoring ability. but his defense is so far from his offense level. sorry for my bad english
He reminds me a lot of scottie pippen, the way he defends, shoots, dunks, post up, lay up.
That's the best comparison I've seen for him. They both have the same build also, long and lean yet pretty strong.
Josh Morgan yup he really shut james down.
Good comparison, but like I mentioned above, Leonard doesn't quite have the same vert.... Although Pippen didn't have the same athleticism as MJ, he could still dunk from the free throw line and could get his head up near the rim when he dunked. The closest Leonard has gotten was the put back dunk against Miami and his head, while in the vicinity of the rim, was still quite a ways off.
drew c yup i agree, we'll he's still 22 he could improve a lot plus you know how the spurs do maybe he could dunk from the line he just doesn't do it because the spurs don't like flashy players and pop wouldn't let players do highlight reel dunks, there's still a lot that we don't know about leonard.
when he came in he did a lot of mj/kobe moves rebounded like shaq now he does that but i also see him do a lot of parkers spin moves and manus euro step this dude learning so much and Defence well he keeps improving timmy has a lot to do with that . dont forget his post game .
All the elements of pure basketball, he has got them....
his defense is unreal
Not only his skills, his attitude is way better than many "superstars".
Kawhi is a beast congrats to kawhi MVP!
Kawhi Leonard FINALS MVP !!!!!
He's been like this all year, for every game, goddd.
HIS DEFENSE IZ WHAT LEADS TO HIS OFFENSE REALLY
Thanks man (: glad you listened to me and the others who suggested this! Heck yeah!
I loved the defense more than the offense, these dude is the real deal. those huge gigantic hands though,
Kawhi just has this no-nonsense tough-as-nails throwback 90s game. So sick.
Kawhi Leonard is the best right now in the NBA, i mean come on look at his performance in the playoffs and in the finals so GOOD!
What a year, a well deserved finals MVP. Such a team player..I hope you continue to grow.
Wow he is definetly a star in this league. This has got to be the only time I've payed attention to someone's defensive highlights. And I was very impressed! He's one one the top defensive players in the league right now and he can score! If San Antonio goes anywhere next season he's gonna be the MVP!
He deserved the MVP trophy. Especially for his performances in games 3-5
Not mvp. He hasn't been performing good all season. Durant has been performing at such a high level without Russel, and tbh the rest of the team is really lacking except ibaka.
i think he meant finals mvp
I had no idea he was this raw.
Kawhi is like a better Shawn Marion in his prime.
I have to disagree. Marion was never a guy who could take the ball coast to coast nor did he have an off the dribble game. I've seen some plays that kawaii has made that reminded me of marion (that block on westbrook) but they're a lot different. One being that Marion was a lot more explosive athletically
"You are a women..."
-Phil Wolf-
Phil Wolf lmao XD
Cakka CarrotCake You're real mature, I'm laughing so hard!1!1111
hahaha
All of the people who think that KL is where he is now cause of the "system" is delusional. All teams need a "go to" guy who can score and create even the Spurs. Like Dave, TD, Manu, Tony, Ice Man. KL has grown a lot, i only got to know him after he was traded to us but he quickly became one of my favorite players. Each year, he learned a new trick, he can shoot, drive, finish strong and post up now. I believe he can be our next "go to" guy. He finally broke out and Pop knew it so he pushed him harder. He was the big reason we won so many games in the reg season and even bigger in the post season where things matter the most. This guy can BALL!!! He guarded the best player in the world and still helped on defense. U think LBJ wouldn't have dropped like 60, 70 if he had the chance for the Heat to win? Not only that, KL dropped more than 20 points in the last 3 games yet against LBJ "one of the best defensive players in the leauge" without a single play drawn for him. And don't pull out that shit "he scored so much cause he's a role player whom no one cares about", i believe that after game 3 the Heat or LBJ would have put out plans on how to stop him but the guy still shot more than 60% "enough said". The system is one thing but you also need to have the talent and the will, and that's Kawhi Leonard. You don't need to be an All-star and all that shit to be great, look at Roy Hibbert =)) KL has just found the rhythm to his game so don't put down his achivements.
Pointed...
And also he can jump, but if it only needs 30 inches of vertical for him to dunk, he wouldn't jump 40 or more to perform a spectacular forehead-hoop dunk like what Blake Griffin usually does. This is why his dunks always look so soft, he inherits the spirit of Spurs--Stay low profile. Like I just post, he has almost got all the elements of pure basketball, he is an all around players, a future super star. He needs the Spurs system, but the Spurs system also needs him.
Every year he gets better and develops a new part of his game. I feel completely confident in the Spurs future knowing he's going to be the guy once the Big 3 are done.
***** Yes, this is what I meant.
Kids got too much future potential, hopefully he can fully utilize his talents and possibly become the next big thing. Oh, hes from my city as well!
Wow, I love the way Kawhi plays he hustles on defense rebounds and is a big threat on offense when he is aggressive he has a big future ahead of him and he was awarded finals MVP at the age of 22, amazing player to see as a basketball player and fan.
Humble and hardworking.
3:05 Brilliant defense.
0:50 Shocking acceleration.
1:50 Smart draw of the foul!
3:35 Tough shot against (very) good D.
15:25 The mighty clouds of joy come rolling in.
I favoured part 1 and I also said it time ago hes gonna be a star and look what did. When all these young players and the hyped up players were getting the limelight, he was just doing his thing under the radar but any true NBA fan or Scout could see his talent . For me his stardom is no suprise and truly well deserved. NBA Champion and Finals MVP 2014
KD dislikes this..
KD can go to hell. He will get over it, or under it.
I hope KD continues to diss KL because it only makes him stronger and get another Championship ring.
MrYoumitube kd is gay, just like your hopes
People who are questioning his growth, you gotta remember that this kid is only 22 and he's already developing into a phenomenal offensive player, and as you can see he's already a wonderful defensive player. He'll become one of the better two-way players we have in the league, might even be the best in about 4-5 years.
It is very rare to find 2 way players like this in the nba today
Huge potential! Could be one of the top 5-10 players in the league. Let's just hope he's not another Harrison Barnes.
hes not
Really huh Harrisom has been in the league for 2 years and ur making him sound as if he was Greg Oden bad
Kawhi Leonard's ability to simultaneously defend both ball-handler and passing lane often obstructs the opposition's offensive flow, and the rebounding he provides at his position has given the Spurs flexibility in terms of the lineups they can play. Kawhi's also growing increasingly confident in his jumpshot (both midrange and long-distance), and with time, will become that much more polished in the post and comfortable in the role of play-maker. Happy birthday Kawhi; continued success/expansion.
I wonder how many defensive highlights you could find for James Harden.
About one
Clutch Macaw on a good day
Noah's great, but he doesn't have to guard guys like Lebron and Durant. Kawhi should have been DPOY.
actually he DID guard lebron succesfully so your comment doesnt make any sense
Bow down to Lenard man
Well Kawhi didnt guard either of them very well, Durant shot 50% and James shot 60%
Perry Reacher There are more ways good defense can affect players. They may have shot a high percentage, but committed a lot of turnovers. KD and LeBron are both hard to stop, but they can be forced into more turnovers by making them work harder through tough defense. Other ways good defense can affect players is lowering Free throw attempts and lower field goal attempts(through ball-denial and forcing passes). There is more to good defense than just lowering FG%.
Derrick Rose Guard once in his mediocre carreer lmao
You can spot those that cling to the once in a lifetime events, the hardcase fanboys
For those of you saying he can't be a number one option, go watch his college highlights. He's not a great player but he is a damn good one and he does everything well.
Been waiting for his highlights thanks b. He def got that MJ one/two dribble mid range pull up. He is improving his game every year. He got the D.Wade two step (like everyone else lol) and is in the ranks of the top defender in terms of one on one and reading(living) in the passing lane. Its great to see him improve and develop new moves while being in that system. Danny Green showed some skills as far ss putting the ball on the floor and making floaters and even some contested layups. It takes powerful men to develop and remain in a system that doesn't allow for much showcase of single talent. Kawhi is gonna be great.
Kawhi is phenomenal. He not only plays with those powerful hands, but it seems he uses his body to intimidate and once he goes airborne, KA-WOW!. He appears to be shy, but absolutely knows what he's doing. In the beginning of final game, I think the spurs made Miami run, run and run until they became tired, then SA took full advantage. Miami looked confused.
His hands are so beautiful
what makes Kawhi so difficult to deal with is his body. He has the length, strength, and post moves of a PF, yet the height, speed, and shooting of a wing. if you put a 2 or 3 on him, he'll destroy them in the low post or just muscle past them. If you put a 4 on him, he can step out and drain 3s or use that turnaround fader he's developed over the past year. Either way he'll defend the other team's best player, grab a ton of boards, and all this without ever once complaining or chest-pounding. Let him polish his ball skills just a bit more and continue to improve his face-up game, and he'll be a top 10 player.
And what's truly scary? He is quickly developing into one of the best mid-range shooters in the league. And that, not the dunks, nor the 3ball, but the MIDRANGE, is what made MJ un-guardable. It's a lost art, the mid-range jumper, but when you can knock it down consistently, it opens up the entire offensive game.
I love how Kawhi turns into Duncan for a bit
I just keep seeing highlights of him KILLIN' Durant.
He just harasses people on the defensive side. He's so strong on the offensive side. Much respect for this dude!
Hes the nxt big thing. Respect
One thing about Kawhi Leonard he is a more defensive player that is why coach pop put him at starting five with that big hand and long arms he is everywhere steals block make it hard for team to set plays... People don't make boast of Leonard we know he can be better but he is a humble and shy type person im surely he doesn't want fame he just want to play team basketball that is all but Leonard has a very very big future ahead! Future of SPURS and the Future of NBA!! KAWHI NOT? :) GSG! 2PEAT 2015
Great but very underrated
This is so impressive.
Kawhi was nasty on the spurs he got drafted at the right time he gave the spurs speed and strength
"Happy Father Day Kawhi! You owned me the whole finals."- Lebron James
Man Kawhi is a fucking Jedi on that defense!
A little pippen, Clyde drexler, Barkley and Jordan all in one. A Baaaad boy.
Hungry and humble!
Not too hype him up but his play reminds me of Jordan a bit. The way he palms the ball on dunks and his style
Ya true..and a bit of pippen too..
I agree, especially his post up fade away
wow, Kawhi's defense is excellent! the future of the NBA
My boy Kawhi deserves everything he got. He may not have better offense than Paul George but he's better an every other aspect.
MVP!!! MVP!!!
Man this dude is the truth I was saying the same shit last year when they lost but he showed out this year. Leonard#2
i love this song!
Better defensively than PG24, just check his defense on LBJ vs Paul George defense on LBJ. Also, George isn't consistent on offense... Leonard is improving offensively. Yes, put Paul George in SA & he'll win a ship... But put Kwahi in IND & he'll bring heart & will to that team. Just think, kwahi in Indiana can beat Miami in 6/7 games. This guy is nice, I don't see how anyone can hate kwahi. He's quiet, humble, don't like attention that much... & he goes out there and gets the job done without complaining, he doesn't have any negative off the court attention either, just an overall good dude.
Kawhi is a great player because he is focused and not worried about flash and is one of the most humble players. He has a lot going for him and he's only about 23 if I'm not mistaken
Shooting and post-up like Kobe Bryant
Break Away and slashes like Julius Irving
Defense like Michael Jordan
All in one person
agreed now i see him do spin moves like parker and euros like manu jaja
He is definitely one of the best forwards in the league
He Reminds me of Scottie Pipper ..the way he takes a shot during a fast-break..
This dude is the dream basketball player he can truly get it done on both ends
Spurs just need to watch this to know they should sign him for a long time.
Kawhi Leonard is the better player overall. Leonard can score just easy as George but his role on the spurs is defense. They don't need him to score 20 points a game. Paul George is a great player but just inconsistent
Exactly simple and plain
He's got it all!
Spurs my fav team
This kid is amazing!! He plays a great defense...he gotta improve his offense skills just a little bit
Ilove the way he dunk...unlike others that after they dunk hard.. its look like won mvp...lol
I remember thinking "How did anyone let the Spurs draft this kid?" and Pop turned him into a superstar
Amazing !! Next Pippen
Y'all need to chill with this kawhi is the next great superstar legend I know you heard coach pop when he said he didn't even run plays for kawhi this year I'm not hatin just saying wait until next year now he's on the scouting report
Plays like 15:26 are what makes this guy a great player.
the heart, the hussle, and humble!
man this kid can score... why doesn't he do it more often? only avrg 12 per game.. he can easily avrge at least 19pg
Because he's the young pup in the team playing behind 3 hall of famers. He'll get more touches for sure next season though.
Spurs were 60+ W this year and have been 50+ for a while. They have systematic approach and when its not broke, don't fix it. Duncan and Parker have been doing their thing and the Spurs have a methodological win it all mentality, there was no need for him to be carrying the team unlike someone like Lebron or Melo, the entire team has depth and they just cruise
He only gets a few touches per game, and no plays are drawn for him. Once the big 3 retire and it's his team, we'll get to see his full potential, but for now, he's the 4th man behind 3 guaranteed first ballot hall of famers.
MVP
Kawhi bullies KD several times in this video, he has those muscles and spins against KD.
I just can't say he's better than Paul George. Both are excellent defenders, excellent rebounders at their position, and exceptional athletes, but offensively, Paul George is in another stratosphere. Now don't get me wrong, Kawhi Leonard is an very good, young player with great upside, but a nice chunk of his offense is the product of the Spurs' offensive system. Meanwhile, Paul George is on the opposite end of the spectrum! He is the Pacers' offense! No disrespect to Kawhi, I am actually really impressed by his play, but I simply cannot agree that he is the better player.
conference finals game 5, paul george 2nd half supports your argument verrryyy nicely
george can't defend like leonard
Both are good
How do you know Leonard isn't better than Paul George individually? We don't see Leonard isolate as much as George because the Spurs know to win you need to run plays, not individual players taking turns to create.
Individual stats < NBA Championship
Was the pacers offense
Kawhi my new favorite player. The next MJ!
he's a great player, but not the next M.J.
you took it too far....LOL
Yeah you right, I was just reminiscing MJ's game to his game. They both have a great similarity in playing basketball.
Jan Mejares yup true there is slightly the way he played it...wooooow....
Jan Mejares. I think you should mention pippen rather than mj
when he came in he did a lot of mj/kobe moves rebounded like shaq now he does that but i also see him do a lot of parkers spin moves and manus euro step this dude learning so much and Defence well he keeps improving timmy has a lot to do with that . dont forget his post game .
i actually see kawhi averaging 18 ppg with 8 reb this year shooting 51% 37% from 3 and 81 % at the stripe this year. oh also getting 200 stls and 100 blocks
Damn that's a pretty good prediction . I could see Kawhii shooting 43-44 percent tho
Curtis Brown nah he gets in the paint too much for that
***** So you are saying that it will be higher?
Curtis Brown much higher he's not a jump shooter
***** What are you talking about? He is a jump shooter lol
He's legit
His style of defense is a lottt like Jordan's. The kinda tip a pass, strip the ball, or get a block out of nowhere type stuff. Quick hands, athleticism, size, and long arms will do that for you if you try on d
Thanks !
kawhi leonard and anthony davis are the future of the nba in my opinion
mvp
I wonder why kawhi doesn't do more complicated dunks like windmills or 360s? Maybe he just likes the simple stuff. It's 2 points either way but more spectacular dunks gets the fans more hype. I think kawhi will probably be a great player
kobe got MJ's jump shot, but Kawhi got MJ's lay up and dunk
HIS DEFENSIVE ABILITY MAKES EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE A FOOLISH HAHAHAA
that shake on 8:28 amazing
this dude has to be DPOY!
Reminds me a lot of James Worthy.
Really nice vid bro, but seriously u have to make a Noah 2013 3014 higlights include the tripple doubles, 16 assist, defense, the hyped dunks etc
Paul milsap aswell
You can see Manu has taught him some moves.
Hes only 22 years old...
KAWOW!
im so happy to be a spurs fan haha...
I agree kawhi Leonard is better than Paul George. They are both really good but kawhi Leonard came to play in the playoffs against Miami. He started out slow in the first 2 games but then destroyed Miami. Paul George had only one good game against Miami. Kawhi is the future of San Antonio and has a really bright future! Amazing talent and he is the best Lebron defender!
I want to play like Kawhi!
How Ironic. Durant is Getting schooled consistently in this video more than anyone else.
