[Highlight] Kawhi Leonard averaged a career high 27.9 PPG this season, becoming the 1st player in NBA History to average their career high in year 14 or later. Here are some of his best shots from this season.
Year 14 career high is honestly insane. Kawhi’s offensive game aged beautifully.
I think we could’ve gotten this a lot earlier if he never got injured. This is the first season in a while he’s been this healthy and not having to face all the serious injuries, a player like him should not exist where his defensive prime is year 5, his playmaking prime is year 9, his scoring and handing prime is year 14, it’s just all because of the injuries.
Goes without saying. Also part of why he got the career high in PPG this year is that Clippers are not very good without him.
We’re ass cheeks
Defensive prime coming before offensive prime is usually the norm
Peoplr are also usually at their smartest as they age too
Kawhi is more notorious because his defensive peak was so high that once he lost a step and startrd saving energy on defense a bit as his offense load increased the contrast was pretty notable even for the average fan/media that barely watches defense
Dude is on fire. 38% of his career 40+ point games have come just this season.
It’s that 96-98 MJ mid-range mastery.
Playoff Kawhi is back. Watch him go crazy and win this whole thing
Could you imagine if he somehow pulled it off vs OKC?
I think he’d turn his haters into fans lol
They’d build him a statue on Reddit
Or plant a forest for him
Lmao you reminded me of the plant guy during the Raptors parade
Was he really a prophet of what was to come or did he give Kawhi the idea lol
I’m sure plant guy would not mind planting trees for Kawhi if he came back to the Raptors and won another somehow
Not gonna happen. The clips are too small
The truth. Our only “suitable” big is Lopez. Especially in the West going against Chet/Hart, Jokic, and Wemby. Oof
Kawhi going bonkers against OKC’s generational defence would end famines
Gotta get passed GSW first. Basically everyone outside of the Thunder and Warriors should be cheering for the Clippers tonight. Otherwise OKC gets a lottery pick.
Gotta get passed GSW first
And the Suns after that.
that brother is out the first round at best.
No distractions this year fortunately, finally allowed to just play basketball with playoff aspirations
That’s just amazing especially considering his injury history
We should all aspire to be just like him
Played like Kobe after the charges. Really was hoping they could just give us a higher pick
Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
Played like Kobe after 2003 or like Kawhi after September 2025?
Technically you still have a shot at the #1 pick
1% isn’t a shot unless silver wants to rig it for us like the mavs.
Type of post you see right before your team gets eliminated lol
Rebuke 🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️
I mean either one of these teams is getting packed up by the Thunder and Spurs in 4 or 5 anyway
I’d be shocked if those series went to 6
Either one of which teams? Spurs already know their opponent, it’ll be Portland.
I mean between whoever comes out of the last seed
7 and 8 aren’t getting anywhere in the west, even the east tbh
I don’t see the Hornets or anyone else upsetting the Pistons or Celtics unless some injuries happen
NBA rarely has upsets in the first round for a reason
Your initial comment made me very confused and I thought you didn’t know that the 7th seed was decided.
As per this comment, I agree.
I know the losers in this sub that hate on him are seething that he played 65 games. suck it.
Should be first team, without a doubt better than Brown
Both will probably make it unless Luka wins the appeal
He’s easy to hate considering his history
His dad was murdered when he was 16…
Should make All-NBA first team.
He’s my MJ
Best 2-way player since Jordan. Love to see him balling
Not a kobe fan, but didn’t he win like 10 all Def?
Bless your soul and your heart there isn’t a soul who’s seen the two of them defend that would ever say Kobe was the superior defender
lol. Not an unbiased soul in the world would think Kawhi at any point was a better overall player than Kobe at his best.
Besides, Giannis exists.
Even Phil Jackson said he was getting them based on reputation by 2004 and not actual performance.
About 3 of those were rep based.
I love my goat
When you going to post an update on his Aspiration shit /u/NBA
“What a beast” indeed
I’m happy & I prefer we’re in the timeline with our core 4 rn but fuck man sometimes I wonder how longer the Spurs would be competitive if Kawhi stayed & we continued building around him (especially if he didn’t get Zazad). It’s insane he’s able to still play this great at this age
Insane value in fantasy bball
Don’t bet against kawhi when money is on the line
I doubt anyone would expect kawhi of all people to have his career high at year 14
My liege
the cutoff is not fair for Steph lol. He did it at year 13.
Props to Kawhi tho, we all thought he was cooked.
Sitting out the majority of games the last few years worked!
Still salty about 19 eh?
Actually no. Kawhi is one of my favorite players and is proof fundamental basketball still produces results at the highest level.
However the “Load Management” has been excessive. Especially with evidence that it may be linked with not receiving payment from Aspiration.
Ok
Future Laker. Silver, you know what to do: banish him from the Clippers to improve ratings.
It could happen lol
He doesn’t want to move from LA if they kick him off the Clippers
Luka Kawhi Reaves would be a nice big 3 if LeBron moves to make the money make sense
Clippers should have to vacate their wins.
Otherwise everyone will circumvent the cap.
Adam Silver why haven’t you done anything?
