When one thinks of Kawhi Leonard, the first image that usually comes to mind is his mind-blowing shot over the Sixers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
We’ve come to see Kawhi Leonard as a two-way threat. He’s great on the offensive floor, as well as the defensive side. Drafted in 2011, the Klaw has 2 NBA Championships, 2 Finals MVPs, and 2 DPOYs under his belt.
Andrew Wiggins, on the other hand, was drafted in 2014, and has established himself as an All-Star this season. He’s been playing excellent basketball and has made his mark as a two-way player. Recently, a Twitter user pointed out a statistic that surprised me, along with a lot of other NBA fans.
Andrew Wiggins crossed Kawhi Leonard in career-points total
During his 11-year career in the NBA, Kawhi Leonard has played 576 regular-season games. In those games, he has accumulated a total of 11,085 points.
Andrew Wiggins, who is in his 8th NBA season, has played 573 games. In that span, Wiggins has accumulated 11,136 points.
Wiggins is 4 years younger than Kawhi and is likely to play longer. Even though Kawhi is an undisputedly better player, this statistic took quite a few people by surprise.
Even though no one believes Wiggins is better than Leonard, it is still pretty interesting to see the 26 y/o put up numbers higher than the Klaw.
