Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard has two title rings and two NBA Finals MVP trophies in his house. If there's anyone in the squad who knows how to win, it's definitely him.
With that said, in his opinion, if the Clippers continue to remain confident and make sacrifices, they can win it all this season.
“We're striving to get there,” Leonard said, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN, when asked to compare what the Clippers are building to his title teams in San Antonio and Toronto. “One thing is that you never know what's going to happen down the road, if there's like my previous teams, everybody just wanting to win and trying to make a sacrifice, staying confident.
Leonard also noted that not everything goes your way. Luck also plays a part in every aspect of the game, but the most important thing for the Clippers is to remain positive in the long and arduous journey for that elusive Larry O'Brien trophy.
“I just think if we keep doing that, we can be successful, but it always doesn't work to your favor. It's a lot of luck in it — calls, making shots, people staying healthy. I think we just have to keep moving on the right track and staying positive,” Leonard furthered.
To recall, Leonard won his first title with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014 against the Miami Heat. Back then, he was seen as a second-fiddle to the Hall of Fame trio of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker.
However, as the years went by, Leonard became a complete player. He added a lethal offensive arsenal to his incredible defensive stance. Last year, all his hard work paid off with his second title while donning the Toronto Raptors jersey.
Will Kawhi Leonard guide the Clippers to a title and claim his third ring?
