It's not just his huge hands, it's the anticipation that is uncanny. It's such a treat to see him lock down a player because you see it so rarely in the NBA
That’s the truth! 🙂 ..and I’m happy for it because Kawhi Leonard has given the Toronto Raptors their best chance ever in their history in the NBA to win an NBA Championship title! #LetsGoRaptors #WeTheNorth
@@wesley_Certified You are right. He has physical advantages too. Wingspan and hand size. He's slowed down recently with the added size but he's hands down my favorite player in the league.
The reaction on that was great. Usually players are too slow to realize the back cut when they overplay, and the bounce pass is already by them. The way he recognized it immediately was awesome. Also the fact that he turned and dove for the ball, rather than turning to find his man like most would. Dude's got a real gift for instincts of the game.
Haven't even watched the vid yet and i already know the no-look diving steal is gonna be on here. Single most impressive play I've seen from Kawhi. Never seen someone do that before.
Hell no! Lebron's experience carrying bum teammates was much worse than Kawhi. Kawhi had solid players surrounding him and Lebron did not have the same talents around when he was in pre big three era and 2018 playoffs.
kawhi is very intelegent player he knows very well on how the opponent run their offense and he is their ready to deffend. I hope he will get another defensive player award and MVP .he is now a very best two way player.... I still support you kawhi even though you leave spurs. good luck to up coming game.
jesus christ man your talking about kawhi being some genius but it takes one to know one. you misspelled half of your comment and the rest is poorly written. u lil bitch
@@b.6621 Um, goat? best player? There's a correlation, if he brought up LeBron then you could say what you just did because he doesn't play defense let alone guard the best player on the opposing end lolz
true. that is why his assist is very low. if he just has shooters around him, he could get 8 to 10 assist per game. His teammates are getting assists though benefiting from kawhi.
Kawhi's defensive awareness is amazing he is so fun to watch offensively and defensively both court. He is stars nightmare Lebron and Durabt knows it now Simmons got the taste of it.
Spurs fan here just watching kawhi's defensive highlights, thanks for your rings Kawhi. we got derozan and he seems to fit in well with us. Meet you in the finals
How Kawhi is not in the MVP conversation is beyond me. Nobody in the League has a more complete game then this man. He’s pretty much perfected every facet of the game. He can shoot , create his own offence and defend like no one else. I’ll take him over Harden or Giannis any day
@@kingcobra2596 of course he deserved it, especially in 2017. in 2018 Leonard only played 9 matches because of the injury and in 2019 had to do the load management.
i was watching the whole game of Raptors vs Sixers when Simmons got locked down! i was just in aww about how dominate i forgot kawhi really is. He completely took over that game it was crazy to watch
He reminds me of Jordan. NOT in playstyle but in HOW I FEEL when i see jordan its like watching an ALIEN plays, And thats exactly how i feel when i watch Kawhi
I just love seeing Kawhi guarding the best player. That match up against Durant is great and Durant is having a hard time. Unlike that other player during the finals that got screened ever so lightly by Curry decided not to fight against it and guard Durant. lol
No doubt kawhi is the best defensive player in the league..I do love watching his videos..The claw is beast both defense and offense....nore video please. Bug fan of kawhie here..🙋🙋..I will support kawhi wherever he will go..😄😄..#dpoy#mvp
So incredible. He’s literally the claw that snatched the ball, and his logo is right there center court and doubles as a Toronto Raptors logo. It’s so fitting as the dinosaur was called that word from the word rapture. Velocity rapture actually. And that’s how Kawhi snatched the ball. Swiftly and deadly.
His defense is taken for granted. He's still the best overall defender(Help and on the ball). He so intelligent and takes a half of the court a way like a shut down corner.
It's not just his huge hands, it's the anticipation that is uncanny. It's such a treat to see him lock down a player because you see it so rarely in the NBA
uncanny?
He has a really long arm reach too, and everyone in the NBA considers him strong af.
The league was in peace the last year and a half. Kawhi comes back and disrupts everything again.
LightFuse big facts

No one is safe
That’s the truth! 🙂 ..and I’m happy for it because Kawhi Leonard has given the Toronto Raptors their best chance ever in their history in the NBA to win an NBA Championship title! #LetsGoRaptors #WeTheNorth
I rate the Boa Hancock pfp
"The Klaw" sounds perfect on Toronto, it's even on their team logo. Congrats Raptors!
4:39 Kawhi saw that pass from Anthony Davis coming, the IQ he has on defensive.. damn what a guy
@@thatahkabdul don’t forget about his physical gifts
@@wesley_Certified You are right. He has physical advantages too. Wingspan and hand size. He's slowed down recently with the added size but he's hands down my favorite player in the league.
That no look dive at 1:11 tho 😲😲😲 omg
he anticipated that bounce pass
The reaction on that was great. Usually players are too slow to realize the back cut when they overplay, and the bounce pass is already by them. The way he recognized it immediately was awesome. Also the fact that he turned and dove for the ball, rather than turning to find his man like most would. Dude's got a real gift for instincts of the game.
jaruseerf_5891 99 defensive awareness
He didn't even turn his head and he was already on the ball, what a read.
It’s cuz he grew up a football player it probably feels like they’re passing it to him
Haven't even watched the vid yet and i already know the no-look diving steal is gonna be on here. Single most impressive play I've seen from Kawhi. Never seen someone do that before.
Alex l Son, it’s like he is Neo of the Matrix.
I bet Ben Simmons was like "so this is what Bron was talking about"
11 turnovers for Ben Simmons that game lmfao
LeBron Kryptonite "Kawhi"
Hell no! Lebron's experience carrying bum teammates was much worse than Kawhi. Kawhi had solid players surrounding him and Lebron did not have the same talents around when he was in pre big three era and 2018 playoffs.
Cornelius Fisher they were not all super teams
I want Kawhi Leonard get a third Defensive player of the year. I believe that Kawhi will beat Ben Wallace’s trophy 🏆
I think he should not get because he is a perimeter player, not a center(as a protector of the rim)
@@tunahankucuker5165
he got already 2times dpoy
i think that he will charge the dpoy in this season
@@CreedBoxer I know. But I think dpoy should always be a rim protector not a perimeter player
@@tunahankucuker5165 Regardless of the position anyone can be dpoy
Renzel de Jesus I think DPoY is either gonna be Kawhi's or Anthony Davis's to win
DPOY AND MVP!!!
Kawhi THE FUN GUY Leonard Try to take it away from Anthony Davis the DPoY and Giannis/Harden for the MVP award
@@robertolebron2296 oh mann.....he is stealing that too.....
i hope u get my pun😅😅
Karthik Hegde sorry I'm late but yeah I get your pun.
Next year he hasn’t played enough
Ah ha hahaha
kawhi is very intelegent player he knows very well on how the opponent run their offense and he is their ready to deffend. I hope he will get another defensive player award and MVP .he is now a very best two way player.... I still support you kawhi even though you leave spurs. good luck to up coming game.
jesus christ man your talking about kawhi being some genius but it takes one to know one. you misspelled half of your comment and the rest is poorly written. u lil bitch
feel bad for spurs people booing him on his return game after trade. it's not his fault tho. shame on spurs country.
Guards the best player on the floor every night...to me that's what the best need to do....if u think u the best...guard the best
MJ doesn't guard the best opponent tho it was Pippen who guards them.
@@dreamvveaver because mj was the 1st scorinG option....he needed to be enerGized as much as possible
Darryl Marc Quirante Ancheta
and u also got rodman guarding the big men and pushing them back while being like 4-5 inches shorter
Darryl Marc Quirante Ancheta who said anything about MJ tho? lol
@@b.6621 Um, goat? best player? There's a correlation, if he brought up LeBron then you could say what you just did because he doesn't play defense let alone guard the best player on the opposing end lolz
Kawhi Leonard own Ben Simmons ....
Simmons looked like an average player next to Kawhi. Kawhi eats him for breakfast.
kahwhi guarding the best players on opposing teams, dayum.
Watching kawhi s defensive highlights is as entertaining as any offensive highlight
Watching the KLAW's defense is like watching NBA top plays of the month.
Are we all going to ignore the fact that Tatum got blocked by two players? lmaooooo
no not just that it was the TWO NEW raptors that blocked that shit!
Almost 3 lol
Spurs block
Latest Sierra Leone Music Talk about teamwork.
Latest Sierra Leone Music Danny Green got the block first after that is all Kawhi
Watching kl's offense is such a treat but his defensive highlights is ecstatic! Thanks for this buddy. Keep it up man and hoping for a better quality.
Im seeing a trend. Kawhi gets a steal, runs the fast break, pass to a wide open shooter and the shooter ends up bricking.
Raptors more often then not convert on his forced turnovers.
true. that is why his assist is very low. if he just has shooters around him, he could get 8 to 10 assist per game.
His teammates are getting assists though benefiting from kawhi.
Raptors having an off year so far, all their shooters are shooting well below their career averages.
hahaha

John Tabdi like golden state a lot of the team is capable of passing very well so the assists are very distributed across the team
CHAMPIONS BABYYYYY!!!!!!! #northovereverything🇨🇦🍁🔥🏆 Kawhi is just too much. Best 2 way in the game🤚🏾
Kawhi's defensive awareness is amazing he is so fun to watch offensively and defensively both court. He is stars nightmare Lebron and Durabt knows it now Simmons got the taste of it.
Truly the only guy who can Guard KD
Deans Kingdom tony Allen?
Ingram
AD?
Lebron?
Giannis?
He is a monster on defense man, just a nightmare as a guy. U have to play against him to really get what people are talking about. Poor simmons🤣🤣🤣
Kawhi the humble beast! Unbelievable fun guy! Monster on the court!
Your 2019 finals MVP 🖐🏽
Spurs fan here just watching kawhi's defensive highlights, thanks for your rings Kawhi. we got derozan and he seems to fit in well with us. Meet you in the finals
Spurs are not going to the finals 😂
meet you on feb 23..
We still love Deebo,treat him well...he's a great player,and a great person.
raptors are the champ now
as a spurs fan i miss this so much.
If kawhi stays with the spurs this year they win the championship
one of the few players that still play defense
Thank you for making this! I've been looking for this forever!
Kawhi's the best player in the league!
Kawhi one of the best player's!!!!
Imagine putting out ur work in both offense and defense in high level every game, this dude is created in lab bruh
More kawhi defense
RAPTORS VS WARRIORS...KAWHI VS DURANT WAS THE MOST EXCITING GAME THUS FAR THIS SEASON!! #LETSGORAPTORS
How Kawhi is not in the MVP conversation is beyond me.
Nobody in the League has a more complete game then this man.
He’s pretty much perfected every facet of the game.
He can shoot , create his own offence and defend like no one else.
I’ll take him over Harden or Giannis any day
4:40 he’s really SMART😂😂😂 Playing defense by predicting it....🔥🖐🏾
He’s Spacial I agreed with Max Kellerman the best player in the game he give you offense and defense at the highest level
0:56 I love it when he said,"Oh my goodness what a play!"
Poor simmons
People didn't call him The Klaw for nuthin..
THIS IS SO GOOD 🔥
Kawhi really goes from Simmons to AD to Blake griffin no one else does this and has the affect on the opposite end should be perennial dpoy
kahwi is ridiculous. this type of defensive effort cannot be taught
What an amazing all round Player!
1:35 What a defensive moment
This is why i love kawhi his the best! Stay humble u deserve a ring
The block he got on Bradley Beal on that epic double OT game was nasty
His control over the ball after a steal is amazing
These are much better than dunk highlights~~
Lakers fans: Whos gonna guard AD?
Kawhi: hold my 🍺
Thank you for this
This guy reminds me of old school basketball. A time when most players play box to box.
After all these years, kawhi still haunts KD
If leonard doesn't injured kawhi will be 2013,2014,2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020 dpoy until retirement
Twylla Poblador i love you
You're cute, but no. These past two years he didn't deserve it. Especially last year, when he literally decided that he didn't want to play.
Sad state of affairs for the league
@@kingcobra2596 of course he deserved it, especially in 2017. in 2018 Leonard only played 9 matches because of the injury and in 2019 had to do the load management.
Ben Simmons: Who are you?
Kawhi: I am your father.
Leonard has great anticipation on where the ball is going..GREAT DEFENSE!
i was watching the whole game of Raptors vs Sixers when Simmons got locked down! i was just in aww about how dominate i forgot kawhi really is. He completely took over that game it was crazy to watch
He reminds me of Jordan. NOT in playstyle but in HOW I FEEL when i see jordan its like watching an ALIEN plays, And thats exactly how i feel when i watch Kawhi
OMG 0:58 what a steal. His defense tenacity is close to MJ
Very good channel, keep up the good work Kuma.
His vision and range on the floor at times its like he can see slightly into the future. Not flashy and sexy but EFFICIENT.
Nice Video. Pretty crazy the ammount of defensive plays for 1 season in which he missed over 20 games.
He is always in a good position that's freaking insane
And his buddy Green with the telepathic communication and the 3s for days.....
R.I.P Warriors.....April,2019
RIP WARRIORS 💀💀
Kawhi Leonard leads the Raptors to the Championship!!!! 🏆🏆🏆
Imagine if kawhi was a corner or a wide receiver 👀💯🤔
Lol that'll be unfair 😂
Ricegumroasts on the fast break he look fast af
I didn't watch it all, but the meer fact that there's 14min of def highlights is crazy in it's self!
Damn why you leave spurs... this man is a monster on defense..almost like he plays with kids and knows the pass is comming
God or Nothing Muzic I thought he got traded he didn’t want to maybe I’m mistaken
Left the spurs and got another ring lol
5:32 Play simulated kick to Kyrie, coordinate to intercept: Inevitable when route A is taken, proceed to destination at 10mph. Success rate: 100%.
This is what a great player should be on both ends of the court
Clearly Top 3, Top 2 in my Opinion
MVP AND DEFENSID PLAYER OF THE YEAR X3
I just love seeing Kawhi guarding the best player. That match up against Durant is great and Durant is having a hard time. Unlike that other player during the finals that got screened ever so lightly by Curry decided not to fight against it and guard Durant. lol
man ... where does the hand come from? Kawhi just takes the ball away from the other player before he knows what happened :(.
1:02
OMG!He has an eye on the back!
Lonzo ball defense so good, he contained zo to only 3 points last game
the klaw is Amazing this is my idol the silent assassin...
The cleanest defender I saw. No dirty games. Daaamn!
12:25 lol...the claw got them quick hands...
Remember the game where he predicted a pass coming behind him and stole it without looking.
4:41 does he reads the future? Goddamn that is some high IQ defense
The Raptors made a good choice trading for Kawhi Leonard the #MVP
Dont let this distract you from the fact that the warriors blew a 31 point lead
The CLAW✋ strikes again!!!
Kawhi deserves to get another ring ❤️❤️ i love warching him ✊✊
Kawhi Leonard: Defense iz ez.
Thats something worth to watch.
Awesome video
Like demar DeRozan improved we need kawhi to take that next step as a playmaker and become an elite passer out of double teams
No doubt kawhi is the best defensive player in the league..I do love watching his videos..The claw is beast both defense and offense....nore video please. Bug fan of kawhie here..🙋🙋..I will support kawhi wherever he will go..😄😄..#dpoy#mvp

His defense is taken for granted. He's still the best overall defender(Help and on the ball). He so intelligent and takes a half of the court a way like a shut down corner.
Simmons still having nightmares
2 of the best in the world the claw & pg13
Damn...His level of anticipation is off the charts. He is like katakuri (can see the future) 😂
Damn..lots of steals..you just can't blink your eyes..😎
That DOUBLE BLOCK from 0:10 was RIDICULOUS... wow, backup from the Spurs was appreciated
kawhai leonard mvp of the year
Why was Simon giving the ball to Kawhi all the time?? Nobody told him they are not in the same team??
Man I'm going to miss him lol
I think he is the best defender in history ever.
