## Bio

Kawhi Leonard came out of San Diego State as the 15th pick in 2011, traded to San Antonio on draft night. With the Spurs he became a defensive terror - Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016 - then the 2014 Finals MVP when San Antonio took the title. After seven seasons and a fracture with the organization, he was dealt to Toronto in 2018. In his lone year north of the border, he carried the Raptors to their first championship in 2019 and claimed a second Finals MVP, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James as the only players to win the award with multiple teams. That summer he went home to Los Angeles, signing with the Clippers and pushing them to their first conference finals in 2021. In 2026, the league sent him back to Toronto.
