What Do We Really Know About Kawhi Leonard? | Posters Full Episode

Kawhi Leonard is unlike any superstar the NBA has ever seen. He’s the Klaw, the Fun Guy, the league’s most silent star, and, now, wrapped up in some of the most serious allegations in league history. But how much do we actually know about him? Is it possible we’ve been making up stories about Kawhi for years, as a way to describe what exactly we’re witnessing? In this episode of Posters, James Hamilton explores the life and career of Kawhi Leonard as a way to look at why sports fans need tall tales to explain players whose impact and presence is bigger than traditional boxscores. From titles with the Spurs and Raptors, Uncle Dennis, load management, Steve Ballmer, Aspiration, and those huge huge hands. Subscribe to Posters for a new pro basketball deep dive each episode!
