“Kawhi Leonard will win at least one championship, but LeBron James will never win again”: Skip Bayless rides hard on Clippers bandwagon while predictably dissing LeBron’s Lakers

Television personality Skip Bayless believes Kawhi Leonard will win at least one NBA championship with the LA Clippers in the next 3-years.

Recently, Kawhi signed a 4-year $176M deal to return to the LA Clippers. The deal includes a player option as well.

The 2x NBA champion has had a bitter-sweet journey with the franchise so far. His first year with the franchise had an embarrassing semi-final exit against the relatively inexperienced Utah Jazz. The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead.

In his second year, the Clippers had a relatively successful season clinching the 4th seed in the western conference. Kawhi and co had a rocky start to the playoffs but were able to gather themselves.

The team under the new leadership of Ty Lue was able to come back from two consecutive 0-2 deficits in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, Kawhi had sustained a partially torn ACL in his right knee during Game 4 of the semi-finals, which would keep him out indefinitely. Despite this, the Clippers created franchise history by making their first conference finals debut this year.

In his 2 seasons with the Clippers so far, the 2x Finals MVP has averaged 26.0 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 5.0 APG on 48.8% shooting from the field and 88.5% from the free-throw line.
