Kawhi Leonard settles Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Shaq debate
A clip featuring Kawhi Leonard is going viral on social media where the Clippers star can be seen settling an ongoing debate between his teammates (Kawhi Zu and Jeremy Castleberry). The topic of debate among his teammates was a comparison to determine the best between Wilt Chamberlin, Bill Russell, and Shaquille O’Neal.
Kawhi calmly listened to their talk and then issued a piece of advice that has the internet respecting him. Kawhi told his teammates that they should determine the best among three legendary centers by watching full games not by the Instagram highlights of those NBA Icons ending the discussion hilariously.
The reporter present at the scene asked Leonard about the debate and asked him what it was about and Kawhi reportedly said, “They showed me a video of Bill Russell contesting Wilt Chamberlin and I just told them ‘Why y’all looking at Instagram, you have to watch the whole game’ and they didn’t wait for me and said Shaq was better.”
Clippers in “win-now” mode with Kawhi extension
The Los Angeles Clippers are receiving praise for their recent signings and rebuilding efforts. They brought former MVP James Harden earlier in the season to join Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
With an experienced head coach in Tyronn Lue, who knows how to win championships, it seems like they have a great chance of winning the championship this time. NBA icon Kevin Garnett recently discussed this subject on his podcast and had a lot of positive things to say about the Clippers.
The discussion started with the mention of the recent contract extension of Kawhi Leonard and he dived into the current situation of the Clippers. Garnett and his co-host explained how the Clippers are in a ‘win-now’ mode and are actively building for the future.
They expressed that the only team posing a threat to the Denver Nuggets is the Clippers, as the Lakers and the Warriors are not in the best shape and might even struggle to make it to the playoffs.
