"The league had it's fun, with Kawhi Leonard back, now it's our turn!": Clipper Nation revels in joy as footage of 'The Klaw' putting up shots in practice surfaces

Clippers superstar Kawhi Leonard shuts down a reporter constantly pursuing him with a hilarious response.

There is zero doubt that Kawhi Leonard is one of the most intriguing personalities in the NBA. The Klaw is not known to make a lot of public appearances and prefers to lead a life away from the glitz and glamor. The two-time champion’s cold demeanor does come across as eerie to many.

However, Kawhi lets his game do all the talking, accounting for one of the top two-way players in the league. Unfortunately, Kawhi suffered a partial ACL tear during last year’s playoffs, leading to him missing the entire 2021-22 season.

Things only got worse with Paul George suffering an elbow injury keeping him out for three months. Nonetheless, Clippers head coach Ty Lue and his troops did a phenomenal job keeping their season alive, with their ceiling being till the play-in tournament.

Most certainly, Kawhi has a unique brand of humor, whether it’s his laugh or his poker face. A two-time DPOY, The Klaw lets his game do all the talking for him. With Kawhi out the entire 2021-22 season, the media hasn’t got many opportunities to interact with him.

Thus the reporters try to capitalize on any whereabouts they hear about the Clippers superstar. The most recent being Kawhi and his girlfriend seen at the airport. The paparazzi would relentlessly pursue the five-time All-Star to get his take on the upcoming Finals.

Kawhi’s girlfriend Kishele Shipley was spotted wearing a ring, which lead to speculations of the long-time couple being engaged. The two have been dating since they college and have two children.
