Need gifs of Kawhi "Jordan esque" switch layup and that reverse dunk

That dunk was straight up NASTY! :tu

I second the motion.

That was FILTHY. Jason Thompson is a good defender, and Kawhi just shit all over him.

I'm LOVING the wing combos of Kawhi, Green, Jax, and Manu....:tu

Blame baseball and hockey playoffs probably. Bet there was a Blake Griffin one in there though.

Kawhi has some sneaky ass hops, tbh. Those dunks come out of nowhere.

A soccer play was #2, and a hockey play was #1. :lol

Only one I found

Truthfully, that wasn't so Jordanesque at all...It really reminded me of Ol-Skool Julius Erving.

6:30 left in the 3rd.

lol KaWOW

I'll be honest - both times I thought Kawhi was going to pass the ball. The layup was a thing of beauty, because he delayed the switch for so long, and just left the defender no chance. But that dunk was right out of nowhere. Never in a million years did I see that coming. And he went up so quick and effortlessly, I think I heard the ball cut the cords before I realized what had happened.

DON'T fake the funk on a NASTY dunk.

Theres gotta be better angles!?

His arms are so long he doesn't really have to elevate on his jams.

Awesome dunk.

It looks like that Sac player put a screen on his own teammate.

KAWOW!

mark my words kawhi is going to be something special

For me he already is special ... he is 19 years old, a starter in a Spurs uniform who had no real training camp ... he defends, can handle the ball ... finish coast to coast ... he is quiet ... and I love his dunks from the baseline

I think his ceiling could be Scottie Pippen except he's not quite as athletic.

I love how no matter what happens Kawhi always has the same calm look on his face. Whether he just dunked someone's ass or got a shit call...POKER FACE. No strutting around chest thumping or putting his arms out like he's a jet... :rolleyes

I can't believe anyone would think that layup was exceptional :lol

The dunk though, very nice.

^

Excellent thread... KaWOW indeed!

Leonard is sneaky-good in all kinds of unexpected ways. His ceiling as a player is a lot higher than I thought at first. Another coup for the FO. :wow

The Spurs broadcast had a better angle, almost head on from behind the basket. He elevated, looked like he was either going to feed the ball with his right hand or maybe flush it, and while in the air, switched the ball to his left hand and finished cleanly.

I had fallen asleep at halftime but left the game streaming on my computer next to me. I woke up at about the 6:30 mark in the third quarter. I wonder if that dunk woke me up.....

Leonard is definitely going to be something special. He has the physical tools and more importantly, a great work ethic to possibly make him an all star. Remember, he didn't shoot well from 3's in college and now with no training camp and condensed schedule, he shooting pretty damn good from the NBA line. I expect big improvements in his 2nd year.

There was a part of the spurs broadcast when they came back from commercial and broke down the play where Leonard stole the ball and pulled off that layup. It was filmed entirely by a camera under the basket. Great angle. They also broke down manu on the bench watching the play and once Kawhi had completed the steal he smiled and laughed in disbelief.

what's great about Leonard (so far) is that he just plays/respects the game seriously, no bullshit, no drama, no prima donna/bad boy attitude.

He may "mature" into an asshole, but so far, what a great contributor.

It's his work ethic. He spent the entire summer/lockout working on his shot, allegedly. Give him a summer with the actual Spurs coaching staff to work on his game(dribble-drives, running the PnR), and he'll be incredible.

agree... but he's actually 20... will turn 21 in June I believe.

On the dunk, Diaw had nobody within 20 feet of him and passed it to a covered Kawhi. Classic Diaw :lmao

The amazing part of the dunk was that he picked up the ball about three feet from the lane and was able to maneuver around two players and finish with a reverse dunk.

My favorite part of Kawhi's game is his patience. You almost never see him out of control.

OMG, I seriously hope he stays a Spur and doesn't become a Grade A Asshole--not that I know what all the Spurs are really like behind closed doors or anything. :p:

I hope The Spurs do whatever they possibly can to keep this rising Superstar rising, I really do.

Everytime this kid snatches the ball from the opponent, I immediately just start to completely die laughing. I seriously cannot stop laughing my arse off and then -- "KAWOW!!"

Him and Danny are just "little thieves" out there! Two Little F'ing Thieves, I swear!! LOVE.IT.LOVE.IT.LOVE.IT. :lmao :lmao :lmao

That was awful...I replayed the clip just to see why the hell he would have dished it. Ah well, led to a highlight at least.

Thanks for re-posting this. Great read. :toast

I can't wait for Leonard to get more confidence to showcase his skills. He could be HUGE for this team. His drives to the basket are awesome. I wish he did it more.

Did the Sacramento announcer say "Holy..." after Leonard's dunk ?

I'm glad that the Spurs finally have some guys that'll finish strong at the rim!
