A Healthy Kawhi Leonard Is a Game Changer!

The two-time NBA champion has struggled with health since 2019. Because of this, the Clippers have been disappointing in the playoffs. Despite surrounding him with talent, it has been difficult to make that jump and reach the NBA Finals. He scored 60 points in one game. Still, he missed the last few games of the season and played in two games in the playoffs. Last season, he missed most of it, but now he is playing a full season. He looked amazing in the preseason. He scored 18 points, hitting 6 out of 10 shots and 5 out of 8 from three-point range in 17 minutes. This year could be huge for the superstar.

It's wild that players like Kawhi Leonard can still perform at such a high level in today's basketball. Kawhi, even with a ten-year gap, remains one of the top 15-20 players. He manages this despite his health issues. Leonard is one of the best off-ball players in the world. Kawhi uses his strength to create his own shots. He also helps others by making plays without the ball. A great three-point shooter has helped him stay one of the top players in the league, even with the obstacles. This upcoming season could be huge for Kawhi, and he could make an All-NBA and All-Star team with this season.

This upcoming season, the Clippers have gone all-in with extending James Harden. This bold move reflects their commitment to building a championship-caliber team. With Harden's elite playmaking and scoring ability, fans are eager to see how he will mesh with the existing roster and elevate the team's performance. Along with signing some veterans who can be a big help, like Chris Paul, Bradley Beal, and Brook Lopez. The synergy between these seasoned players could create a formidable lineup that challenges any opponent. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on the court to witness whether this blend of talent can finally bring the franchise its long-awaited title. This strategic move aims to bolster their chances of making a deep playoff run. With a blend of experience and talent, the team is poised to create a formidable roster that could challenge for the championship title. The Clippers have invested a lot in their depth with Kris Dunn, Derrick Jones Jr., and Nicolas Batum. So there isn't much pressure for Kawhi to perform all 82 games, but he could play 65 games, which can earn him awards. Kawhi may not be the same level of defender as he once was, but he is still a competent one. His experience and basketball IQ will be invaluable as the team navigates the rigors of the season. With the right support from his teammates, Kawhi could still make a significant impact during crucial playoff moments. If Kawhi stays healthy, the Clippers might surprise everyone this year. His skills have always shone in the playoffs. Kawhi Leonard might not play a full season; if he hits 65 games, that's enough. His playoff performances are big wins for fans and change the narrative around him.

Stephen A. Smith has pushed a disgusting narrative. Calling the two-time NBA champion the worst superstar in the league is disrespectful. Kawhi, due to his injury, cannot play a full season, but he plays with a full heart when available. This year, Kawhi can turn it around and lead the Clippers to a high spot in the postseason. His ability to play on and off the ball is incredible. He is an awesome mid-range and three-point shooter in the league. Kawhi Leonard has shown flashes of having a good season in the preseason so far.
