Now fully healthy, Kawhi Leonard is showing why he's the reigning NBA Finals MVP and the new Defensive Player of the Year.
With the San Antonio Spurs down 1-0 in their playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers, Leonard came up big to help them even things up last night. He had 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and guarded Chris Paul on key possessions as the Spurs held off the Clippers 111-107 in overtime.
Once again, Leonard laced up his black-based 'Playoff' Air Jordan XX9 PE for the road. The shoe features the same 'wave' pattern found on the retail Playoff Pack, but in a Spurs-themed package.
Look for the home colorway on-court tomorrow in San Antonio.
