Kawhi is patient, Kawhi is kind. Kawhi does not envy, Kawhi does not boast, Kawhi is not proud. Kawhi does not dishonor others, Kawhi is not self-seeking, Kawhi is not easily angered, Kawhi keeps no record of wrongs. Kawhi does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Kawhi always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, Kawhi is forgiving Kawhi is not coward. Kawhi is humble Kawhi is love. Kawhi Leonard
TO VAK SPITSFAX...This comment may be older but I could never describe Kawhi like you have! You have done a wonderful, wonderful ideal of describing him! Thank you!
Kawhi is an underrated facilitator. Just because he averaged low in assists in the regular season, people think kawhi doesn't know how to pass. But if you've been watching his game all throughout the season, he's been making great plays, drive and pass etc...this dude knows how to set up teammates. Big plays after big plays. Kawhi is a beast.
It's so amazing how much power Kawhi Leonard has. Looking at his body he looks skinny but muscular. Just damn the amount of blocks and steals he does is so impressive.
"I think he's going to be a star. And as time goes on, he’ll be the face of the Spurs, I think. At both ends of the court, he is really a special player. And what makes me be so confident about him is that he wants it so badly. He wants to be a good player, I mean a great player. He comes early, he stays late, and he's coachable. He's just like a sponge. When you consider he's only had [two years] of college and no training camp yet, you can see that he's going to be something else." -Gregg Popovich, in 2012, on Leonard
Elijah Jacob this was prime Kawhi. He was just as good in his finals two/three seasons with the spurs as he is now. People just don’t see it cause the spurs aren’t as popular as the other franchises. Kawhi has been slept on since his early days in San Antonio
@@808gabs It was really upsetting to see him get Zaza'ed. I really feel, strongly, that they would've beat the Warriors in that series. And seeing him leave that season was even worse. I thought LeBron was coming to team up with Kawhi in SA but we all know that wasn't going to happen. Wishful thinking, but if he did, that's a championship team. He's been in his prime for a while and he might be coming out of it in a couple years. Defensively, he's the best in the league, now. Offensively, he's always been getting better and better every year as his bag expands. This past year was especially fun to watch because his ISO game became almost unstoppable. Kawhi plays basketball the right way, in my opinion, on both sides of the floor. Seeing him injured is the absolute worst thing to witness, because you know if he's on the floor, his team has a chance.
I feel you, he was supposed to be the leader of our post Duncan era, we were set for another decade of dominance after Tim and now we’re a lottery team. You can’t always win and compete for a chip every single year, rebuilds are a part of the process, but Pop and the front office had a clear path they wanted to follow when they traded for Kawhi. It sucks but it is what it is, i still like his game and watch him from time to time. It just hurts a bit thinking he should be wearing the silver and black
@@808gabs I really think that the spurs with this kawhi had a chance of beating these warriors even with kd. I feel like this is the best kawhi that has been in the league, his offense was at a high level but also his defense and energy was also at a high level. Currently puts less energy into defense.
Thanks KD for making some comments in 2014 and Kawhi quietly became a monster. A lot of the "superstars" are real bitter towards Kawhi. He's humble, he's quiet, he doesn't engage in the baby nonsense like others. Kawhi plays the game hard on both ends, works hard on his game, gets better, wins and keeps winning. Just shows some of the true colours of some that it rubs them the wrong way.
The source was a bit dubious but I read somewhere that in Sparta they believed in the concept of a deficiency or weakness that makes you great. Like the lisp or stutter or conversely anxiety that a great orator has to put in more work to overcome. Anyway I suppose it’s possible that if Kawhi hadn’t lost that speed and athleticism that he wouldn’t have developed his footwork and positioning and mid-range game as much as he has now had to do
This was his best year so far, healthy and playing a lot of games until Zaza came and Leonard was traded to other teams.. he was supposed to be the face of SAS but still happy for him will always cheer for him been a fan since 2012. Defense over offense is his beginning
Looking back, Kawhi REALLY filled out since those college days. The coaching staff say they have to kick him out of the gym or he'd just stay there all night, and I believe it. His body is so much stronger and more developed now, as is his game.
Wholeheartedly im still mad to zaza pachulia till this days forward. im witnessing kawhi greatness on that 2017 season reaching his great potential pechulia ruined his year. still my frustration.
That was another 🏆 year for the spurs . Pop had a game plan saved all year for the GSW and they had a scapegoat take out kawhi cause the knew what we were going bring
People still trying to say Kawhi benefits from the system smh, he's starting to create plays for his own teammates and scores all by himself most of the time... folks will never give this man credit
Best 2 way player in the League, for me the only reason he was snubb for MVP last year because he is so humble and silent. He deserves MVP over west brick
Hard to watch as a Spurs fan... Well although I hate the way this breakup happened, I wish you the best in Toronto Kawhi... Until you play us that is. Go Spurs Go
Khawi escaped that "Get out" spurs organization mentality. Khawi was a star without the Spurs just look at what his trainer said. It was him who pushed himself not the Spurs or pop. He has MJ and kobe like moves. I'm glad he is healthy again. He bout to destroy in the east.
First player EVER to lead his team to 60+ wins without a second All Star on the team.. and he had his best games against the best teams (unlike Westbrick or Har_en who were great against Knicks or Sixers but failed horribly against top teams) so.. tell me.. how the fuck didnt he win the MVP?!
The Seahawks didn't run the ball LeBron did it once in 2010.. and he won the MVP with TWICE as many points as the second guy. "Cause he wasn't good enough to win it" I am sorry.. but Kawhi is considered by literally every so called "Expert" as the best player out of the other top 3 candidates for the MVP. What kind of retarded argument is that?
Spurs_ He wasn't good enough to win it. Sorry to say but he wasn't. LeBron did it TWICE by the way not once. Its not an argument I'm speaking clear facts.
this is the kind plays of kawhi leonard i wanna see with raptors. right now i can tell that he is not yet 100% healthy because he missed 73 games last season and because of his injury. but hopefully as days passed by, and by practicing hard again he could bring back the real beast kawhi leonard i've known in spurs.
Kawhi's defense is more entertaining to watch than a lot of player's offense, notice how he uses the help defense to perfection. The smartest player defensively I've seen along with the body type and athleticism to be a problem for anyone in the NBA.
Kawhi is one of the most likeable, respectable figures in sports if you have anything negative to say about that man then you seriously have some underlying issues you need to work out.
And this guy is now a RAPTOR!!!! I'm so excited for the season... We had an AMAZINGLY built team... Hurts to say it but we were being led by someone who was not a Superstar... Kawhi gets us over that hump...
Kawhi is starting to get some hate for no reason. How dare you people say he is a system player. Imagine if he played for the Suns, he would have better stats and a way more career high. It's just that San Antonio are behind the GOAT coach Gregg Popovich, who loves to pass the ball until you get an open shot. That's it.
Exactly, if you have no talent no system will work for you. Even if he wasn't on the Spurs and their coaching staff didn't help him, Kawhi's work ethic alone could still elevate him to where he is today.
Brian Ng OMG thank you these people know nothing. If I remember correctly it was kawhi that asked the staff to help him and kawhi was watching film on his own. People don't like giving him credit.
NBA "fans" these days would talk outta their asses rather than using logic. Always talking shit about the players they don't like regardless of how good they are while sucking the dicks of the players they do like. There is no reason it's all emotion for them.
Kawhi is so influential that when K.D. called him a system player, after winning finals MVP, he emulated him and also joined a system and became finals MVP. Kawhi>K.D.
Can't wait for 17-18 season to kick off. I am dying to see the Spurs (KAWHI). He is like an adorable kid who everybody loves and wants to be around. Even though he is quiet, he doesn't have to say a lot. He's got that look that would steal your heart. I know his Mom and sisters are proud of him and look after him. There are lots of mean people out there and he is young and inexperienced and women would try and take advantage of him. Drive on Kawhi and you will be a Hall of Famer one day.
No offense to Timmy, DRob and George Gervin but Kawhi could have been the best player Spurs had if Zaza didn't injured kawhi. And Spurs series of fucked up in negotiating when Jonathan Simmons has all the potential to be their next superstar but they let him go and Magics ruined Simmons career.
Kawhi is patient, Kawhi is kind. Kawhi does not envy, Kawhi does not boast,
Kawhi is not proud. Kawhi does not dishonor others, Kawhi is not
self-seeking, Kawhi is not easily angered, Kawhi keeps no record of
wrongs. Kawhi does not delight in evil but rejoices

You missing what describe him the most mate.
Kawhi is a fun guy
This dude is soo humble with all the damage he does #mvp
Bill dash Thanks alot man💪
Jonathan Isaac 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂 pleaseeeee
Defense is also a part of the game. That kid knows it. Thats why he is going to be a great player.
His career is promising.
He's already more than a great player. He's a superstar.
Umm so is he only a good player right now????
I know ya mean well, but he's been a great player for couple yrs already where u been yo?
Hamburg fat boy from spelunky lol
Hamburg he's already a great player
This vid reminds me ZAZA's dirty move, and thanks for that this NBA season is less attractive and competitive without Kawhi.

He steals,he blocks and he scores...he's just amazing...everybody who loves the game misses this guy,he is so real!!!
One of the best players in the league today, great to see how well his game has diversified and progressed
Luka Doncic Thanks Alot man
"Luka the Don" cic you're a terrible rookie🤣🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
@@ElenaMartinez-wq6ql .... LMAO HOW ABOUT NOW, AND ALSO SINCE WHEN WAS HE A BAD ROOKIE?

Coach Pop as usual right on the money. San Antonio will always regret not having a prime Kawhi. Spurs would have been even scarier

love you Kawhi
A healthy kawhi Leonard could easily win both MVP and DPOY
Pre-injury Kawhi's speed was an important asset for him too. What a shame Zaza injured him, man was not quite the same since.
The source was a bit dubious but I read somewhere that in Sparta they believed in the concept of a deficiency or weakness that makes you great. Like the lisp or stutter or conversely anxiety that a great orator has to put in more work to overcome.

In my humble opinion, Kawhi is the most humble player this time. That's all, Thank You.

FINALLY a KAWHI video
Jimm9634 ikr
Spurs should have been the champion in that year
2018 MVP
Randy Orton Thanks man it took lots of work💪
Jonathan Isaac you on the magic you know damn well you ain't winning anything
Randy Orton yeah
.... Goes to Harden
Randy Orton as much as we want this, we know his rest will affect his mvp candidacy
Kawhi Leonard is good at basketball.
Joshua Ryan No kidding
No shit
I agree
big if true
J.R bruuuu we all know that
best player in NBA off,def,clutch,NBA finals mvp,don't talk,just handles biz.
Damn. Kawhi is without a doubt a top 3 player. LeBron, KD, Kawhi IMO
arguably 2nd best player in the league
You mean LeBron, Kawhi, Curry
Honestly I think if no injuries in a 7 game series the spurs can beat the warriors
Did you notice how many different types of highlights this includes? So impressive in so many ways!
His best season so far, unfortunately Zaza ruined everything.
kawhi is love :) :)
No, Kevin is Love
lol but my heart goes to kawhi :) :)
BEST "OH, MAMA!"s from EVERY GAME
This is probably peak Kawhi that we will sadly never see again.
he had a few good or arguably better years after
Zaza happened
WELCOME TO TORONTO
ang galing talaga ni king kawhi leonard u are d best
He plays like a super star but he stays humble and quiet, no trash talks no shout out just play simple but deadly.......
2018 kawhi
MVP
dpoy
stls leader
50-40-90
Joyner Simms yall spurs fans are stpuid minded humans
gl side tv ii your name is stupid
Joyner Simms he injured not possible now always next year
This is why he should be mvp, turns defense into offense
BETTER THAN KD FOR SURE
GonnaRip YoAss L
KevinDurant fuck your bitch ass
KevinDurant W idiot
GonnaRip YoAss yeah in yuh dream
True
All of the skill, none of the emotion. He can just do it all.
What I love about Leonard is that he is Always calm. Never exaggerates a celebration after scoring he just walks away and does what needs to be done.
Welcome to the Raptors!
unlucky kawhi... he should become MVP if not got injured. Best Kawhi
I was waiting for this video to come out.
San Antonio Spurs #2
SAME!

This guy is an awesome, thrill giving player!
1 of THE best Klaw compilations I've seen!
Crazy how many of these are Kawhi turning defense to offense. It's insane how good he is on both ends of the court.
He was on pace to giving GS and the warriors some trouble. But zazz had to pull out a god move.
I miss this guy. I hope he recovers fully
Pain.
I still love and Respect Kawhi Leonard because he has a ring with my Spurs and started here so no matter where he goes , he has a Spur jersey number
I'm a okc fan and this is the only team I respect. Nothing but class and they're never out the championship picture.
Most clutch player of all time since MJ
Thats manu
Thank you Zaza, at least u made history in some way. ......
Khawi escaped that "Get out" spurs organization mentality. Khawi was a star without the Spurs just look at what his trainer said. It was him who pushed himself not the Spurs or pop. He has MJ and kobe like moves. I'm glad he is healthy again. He bout to destroy in the east.
yeah ok lmao
55+ Wins with the Spurs, 2nd seed, 28+ PPG, MVP and DPOTY confirmed.
I miss seeing him play. Hurry up and come back will ya.
It's funny how some of you guys think Kawhi is a system player but not Draymond Green lol
kawhi is the system!!
First player EVER to lead his team to 60+ wins without a second All Star on the team.. and he had his best games against the best teams (unlike Westbrick or Har_en who were great against Knicks or Sixers but failed horribly against top teams)
so.. tell me.. how the fuck didnt he win the MVP?!
Spurs_ because It's a popularity contest now unfortunately
Spurs_ That's a crazy stat tbh.
Spurs_ Cause he wasn't good enough to win it. Simple. He's not the first play EVER to do that by the way. LeBron did it before him.
The Seahawks didn't run the ball LeBron did it once in 2010.. and he won the MVP with TWICE as many points as the second guy.

Vivek Kandasamy just make a full comment
Spurs are leading in almost every clip 💀💀💀
3:29 can we just take a moment to realize he's holding the ball with one hand with ease
Kawhi is one of the most likeable, respectable figures in sports if you have anything negative to say about that man then you seriously have some underlying issues you need to work out.
that pachulia foul was a hugely pivotal moment in spurs history. we were gonna be good for a few years at least, and then that foul. all gone
Hurts
And this guy is now a RAPTOR!!!! I'm so excited for the season... We had an AMAZINGLY built team... Hurts to say it but we were being led by someone who was not a Superstar... Kawhi gets us over that hump...
Its good to know that when LB leaves the game, we still got this amazing player.
Come on NBA, where is Kawhi's mixtape?!

Now he is playing it smart ang goes all out in the playoffs! As long there is no Zaza on the way

Who's ready for this season? I can't wait for Kawhi to win this MVP. Rudy Gay & Murray gonna shine this season also! Hopefully LA does too!
the real mvp cant believe he was robbed of both mvp and dpoy
