Personally I just enjoy all of the puns his name phonetically enables.
I saw a thread here a while back about a nickname. Did anyone come up with a good one?

Anything but the hand, god I hate that name. It's like calling Ginobili 'The Spot."
He's got a ton of them
-Sugar K Leonard
-WhiWhi
-The Hand (sorry Prime Time)
-The Claw
-Kawhi-et Riot
-Kawhian Punch
-Kawhilights
Off the top of my head![]()
His mama named him Kawhi. Imma call him Kawhi.
His first name is so good that he doesn't need a nickname. Guys like The Admiral and The Mailman had to add ones because of pedestrian first names. Though they're both better than Earvin.
I think he was called The Human Avatar in College
That was so Ron Swanson I can't even read it in any other voice but his.
I've said Whi or KL all season and last. Those are what I'll stick with.
Sugar K Leonard nickname kinda sucks, tbh.
Why is a nickname necessary? He's Kawhi Leonard, for 's sake.
"Kingslayer" is a bit medieval but let's be honest, he went medieval on the Heat in games 3 and 4. That dunk attempt on Cuckoo was just plain disrespectful.
I'm pretty sure his teammates call him Whi sometimes. If it is to be a nickname people actually will use it has to be short.
A good game on Sunday, FMVP, then "Kingslayer" he will be. Game of thrones, game of zones.
Great reference, but this is the voice I hear it in.
another vote for "kingslayer"
I heard KAWHIESENBERG somewhere,...that's pretty cool
Shaks nickname for him grows on me more and more, and it usually sticks when he nicknames someone such as TD being the big fundamental. Sugar K, while not very creative, has a nice ring to it, and I bet it sticks.

There's actually a Whataburger account. I'm done![]()
The Hand. It's gotta be. Fits him perfectly, it's topical with the Game of Thrones run, the Spurs players seem to have embraced it. Just like Payton was "the glove" on D. Kawhi is like a larger, much better tempered version of Gary.
Ive heard the claw, sugar k
KAWHIAN PUNCH!
