Art Of A Champion: Kawhi Leonard Rises To Finals MVP Rank

Many point to the 2014 NBA Finals as Kawhi Leonard’s official transition from a young and versatile forward to the best two-play player in the game. The “Klaw” was not only responsible for checking LeBron James, but matching his counterpart’s output on a per-game basis. It only took the Spurs five games to cool off the heat, and Kawhi’s 29-point performance in Game 5 pretty much cemented the quiet assassin’s spot among the game’s best. As part of the Art Of A Champion collection, Jordan Brand is honoring Kawhi with an Air Jordan 1 that features a metallic silver exterior against a white/black base; it also features his Klaw PE logo on tongue and the sixteen strikes on the heels of the shoes. Expect a release on April 28th.
